Tent
At Simba Public Campsite, guests stay in spacious, dome-style safari tents, which are either provided by tour operators or brought by travelers. These tents are designed to withstand the high-altitude climate of the Ngorongoro Highlands, offering protection from wind and rain. Most tents come with comfortable sleeping mats or mattresses, and guests typically bring or rent sleeping bags. While the tents provide a true wilderness experience, they are not luxury accommodations, so expect basic yet functional setups. Given the presence of wildlife, tents should always be securely zipped, and food should be stored properly to avoid attracting animals.
