Masek sits on the banks of the lake, between the Serengeti plains and the north-eastern part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Each tent has a private terrace and an en suite bathroom with a hot shower, plus a shower outside. The family tent is two interconnected tents with a shared bathroom and a private porch.
The main building has a lounge and a dining room, with a large terrace over the lake. There is a pool, and a campfire is lit in the evening. Tanganyika Wilderness Camps says solar panels make the power, rainwater collected in the rains supplies the water, and all products used are biodegradable.
Tanganyika Wilderness Camps, which runs the camp, places the Great Migration in Ndutu from December to April. The camp is 257 km from Arusha, about five hours by road. Ndutu airstrip is 4 km away and Kusini airstrip 6 km.
