Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is set on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania and lies within the expansive Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Inspired in design by the Maasai mud-and-stick manyatta (homestead), Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is without doubt one of the most architecturally spectacular safari lodges in Africa, and its opulent colonial-style interiors, Zanzibar wall panelling and African art adds to its appeal.
Each of Ngorongoro Crater Lodge’s 3 exclusive camps operates independently, and all have a central living area and viewing decks overlooking the crater. Explore this great wilderness on game drives, walking safaris and cultural village trips.
The lodge has contributed significantly towards improving the prosperity and living conditions of the Maasai community. About 42 000 Maasai pastoralists inhabit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, tending their herds of cattle, sheep and goats, and living in peaceful co-existence with the wildlife.
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is located on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater at the eastern edge of the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, and is one of the best places to stay in Ngorongoro Crater.
