Located in Engaresero, a small Maasai village in Northen Tanzania, the Maasai Giraffe Campsite and Lodge is one of East Africa’s newest and most unique places to stay. Strategically situated between Lake Natron, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, this campsite not only puts you in a perfect location to enjoy an array of recreational activities but also ensures that you will feel close to nature and to the animals that the area has to offer.

Only a few kilometres away from Lake Natron, guests are able to enjoy the presence of giraffes and zebras each morning as they pass by outside of the Lodge as they head to the lake for water – hence the name Maasai Giraffe. The Maasai in this area continues to practice their age-old pastoral ways, keeping livestock and moving their cattle in harmony with the change of seasons.

The time-tested ways of the Maasai are environmentally sustainable and beneficial to protect wildlife. Organization of the United Nations has therefore designated Engaresero as a globally important Agricultural Heritage Systems site (GIAHS).
