Kisima Ngeda Camp

Experience & Activities

Set in a thick stand of doum palm and fever tree forest on a 100-hectare farm, Kisima Ngeda Camp, by Entara, overlooks the seasonal lake Eyasi. An inviting natural spring boils out of the rocks just meters away from the mess area. To the back, a rocky granite hill forms a dramatic backdrop to the camp. Many come here to simply relax in a quiet, remote, and beautiful setting.

The main area of Kisima Ngenda Camp is built with beautiful wooden floors and palm-thatch roofs. It consists of a cozy bar & lounge area with cushioned, bench-seated nooks, a perfect place to relax before dinner. The adjoining dining room is where meals are served, with an expansive view of the lake. Food is delicious and wholesome.

The cuisine combines organic and seasonal produce from the best local producers with only essentials imported. All meals are freshly prepared and homemade, including bread and ice cream. The chefs hail from the surrounding community and undergo training a few times a year to update their skills and inspire new menus.

In the surrounding hills live the Hadza people, whose traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle has survived into the modern era, against all odds. Guided tours venture into the depths of Hadza country for a deeper understanding of their culture.

Accommodations

For those who wish to have a deeper learning experience, Kisima Ngeda arranges fly camping expeditions escorted by Hadza people. These trips venture into the beautiful wilderness areas where the Hadza live, hunt, and gather, along with their neighbours, the intriguing Datoga people, fiercely traditional pastoralists roaming the region with cattle herds.
