Travel Promoters - logoA game-changing addition to Tanzania’s luxury safari circuit is set to debut on July 15, 2025, as Lemala Osonjoi Lodge welcomes its first guests. Perched atop a secluded hill near the Ngorongoro Crater, this highly anticipated lodge will redefine safari luxury with its breathtaking views, exclusive accommodations, and unparalleled wildlife experiences.

A Vision of Elegance and Cultural Significance

Lemala Osonjoi Lodge derives its name from the Osonjoi trees, which the local Maasai people deeply revere for their symbolic and medicinal properties. Designed to offer an immersive experience, the lodge blends African-inspired design with Scandinavian sophistication, creating an inviting, stylish retreat in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness.

Guests will enjoy 16 luxurious suites, each featuring king-size beds, expansive en-suite bathrooms, and panoramic picture windows that frame the sweeping Ngorongoro landscape. A unique relaxation nook with a double bed offers a cozy retreat, doubling as an additional sleeping space. Each suite includes a slow-burning wood stove to enhance comfort, ensuring warmth during the region’s cooler evenings at 8,000 feet above sea level.

The lodge also offers two exclusive two-bedroom suites for families and larger groups, accommodating up to four adults and two children.

Unparalleled Guest Experience & Safari Access

Osonjoi’s prime location—just 10 minutes from the Lemala Gate—grants guests privileged access to the Ngorongoro Crater. Visitors will be among the first to descend onto the crater floor each morning and the last to leave each evening, avoiding the crowds and ensuring an intimate, unhurried safari experience.

Activities include:

  • Daily game drives to witness the Big Five and Ngorongoro’s stunning wildlife
  • Guided walking safaris with experienced Maasai guides, offering cultural insights and rare nature encounters

Exclusive Amenities & The Only Heated Pool in Ngorongoro

Lemala Osonjoi will offer world-class guest facilities, including:

  • A cozy lounge and elegant bar
  • An outdoor viewing deck for panoramic crater vistas
  • The exclusive Forest Spa, home to the only indoor heated swimming pool in Ngorongoro

This unique feature enhances the lodge’s wellness offerings, allowing guests to unwind after exhilarating game drives.

A Grand UK Launch by Travel Promoters & Lemala Executives
