Lemala Osonjoi is a forest-set lodge close to the eastern access route into the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a comfortable base for crater wildlife viewing.
The lodge sits just back from the rim, with highland woodland views rather than a position on the crater floor. Its main area includes a lounge, bar, viewing deck and heated indoor swimming pool.
