THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A forest-facing lodge near Lemala Gate, with spacious suites, wood-burning stoves, an indoor heated pool and a separate spa. Osonjoi suits guests who want substantial comfort between crater outings.

Lemala Osonjoi Lodge offers a warm, substantial retreat on a forested hillside just behind the Ngorongoro Crater rim. Its location near Lemala Gate supports crater excursions, while the lodge itself encourages time indoors between them. Picture windows bring the highland light into the suites, with forest outlooks rather than a promise that every room looks directly into the caldera.

The accommodation combines king-size beds, a lounge area and a tucked-away daybed with wood-burning stoves, winter duvets and hot-water bottles. Bathrooms are described with double basins, an indoor shower and a freestanding bath.

An indoor heated pool, separate spa and shared lounge and bar make Osonjoi particularly interesting for guests who want comfort beyond the safari vehicle. Nobu would consider it for couples and families who prefer a permanent lodge setting.
