overview

The Ngorongoro Crater's most expensive and exclusive camp. With arguably the best view over the crater and some seriously flamboyant rooms, this camp warrants its price tag and needs to be booked well in advance.

About

Experience the epitome of luxury at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, recognized as one of the world's top 10 hotels. This opulent lodge in Africa spares no expense in ensuring every guest's needs are met. However, the true allure lies in its breathtaking location on the rim of the renowned and historically significant Ngorongoro Crater.

Rooms

The lodge boasts three separate camps, comprising a total of 30 standalone rooms, each exquisitely decorated to strike the perfect balance between charm and comfort. Every room features a fireplace, a cozy sitting area, a balcony with expansive views, and an en-suite bathroom complete with double basins, a shower, and a bathtub filled with hot water each evening, courtesy of your personal butler.

Activity

Embark on morning game drives, a mere 20 to 30 minutes away from reaching the crater floor, where you'll want to have your camera at the ready for capturing unforgettable moments. As a tip, pre-order breakfast to savor during a morning drive, as there is no better backdrop. The lodge also provides guided walking safaris along the crater rim, visits to a Maasai cultural village where you can peruse local crafts, and excursions to the stunning Ndutu and Eyasi lakes or the historic Olduvai Gorge.
