| Three million years ago, Ngorongoro, one of the highest peaks in Africa, towered alongside Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania. Our earliest ancestors witnessed the restless volcano's collapse, forming what is today the world's largest intact caldera. Today, Ngorongoro remains a place of drama and beauty - the most remarkable wildlife haven on our planet. | | | Savour the magnificent views whilst dining on the deck | | | | High on the south-western rim stands Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, commanding views of this natural wonder that often moves onlookers to reverential awe. | | | Infinite African vistas | | | | Crater Lodge consists of three adjacent, glamorous camps with 30 Masai-inspired suites perched on stilts on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Set in classic crescents, each stone and thatch suite has spectacular views of the crater from large glass windows in the bathroom, lounge and bedroom, yet is almost invisible from the crater floor. North and South Camp have 12 suites each, while intimate Tree Camp has six suites. All have an en suite bathroom and chandelier-lit bathtub and shower. | | | Your private sumptuous bathroom with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside | | | | The Crater is an African Eden, teeming with 30 000 wild animals, including black rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, hyena, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, hippo, Thomson's gazelle, eland and reedbuck. The gigantic depression is a 12-mile (19km) wide volcanic crater, ringed with towering walls and sheltering forests, grasslands, fresh springs and a large lake. The lodge lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), which covers more than 8 000kmē. | | | The private chalets are raised on stilts | | | | | | | Rates are available on request. | | |
