​Gelai Mountain Camp

Gelai Mountain Camp sits on the extinct volcano, Mount Gelai, located in Tanzania’s Crater Highland Regions. This picturesque retreat enjoys stunning views of Lake Natron and Masailand. The bush varies, ranging from montane rainforest to open grassland and rocky hillsides. Narrow pathways created by the resident buffalo, bushbuck, greater kudu, eland and leopard dissect the forest. This intimate, two-bedroom cabin accommodates up to eight guests living in total seclusion high above the clouds in the African bush. At a height of 3,048 metres, weather conditions on the mountain are marked by low temperatures at night and, at times, mist and light rain in the mornings. This destination is recommended for the more athletic and adventurous, with high-altitude hiking on steep mountain trails.
