Lodge
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is perched on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Inspired in design by the Maasai mud-and-stick manyatta (homestead), three intimate camps comprise romantic suites perched on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater – a World Heritage site. Described as Maasai meets Versailles, each extraordinary camp operates independently with its own central living and dining areas and viewing decks. Early settler-style interiors combine silver, gold and ruby colours under banana-leaf ceilings and grass roofs. Beaded chandeliers hang above large gilt mirrors, and antiques, plump cushions, voluptuous raw silk curtains and leather-backed chairs blend harmoniously with African art elements. The domed dining room, with its fireplace, crystal, silver and massive wooden platters, makes every meal a special occasion. Delicious Pan-African cuisine may also be enjoyed on the outdoor dining deck.
Accommodation
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge comprises three separate and intimate camps – North Camp (12 suites), South Camp (12 suites) and Tree Camp (6 suites) – each offering breathtaking views of the Crater below. Each suite has a private deck, fireplace, en suite bathroom and exclusive butler service. Steeped in romance, each mud and thatch suite is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the stilted, handcrafted structures adorned in graceful antiques, grand chandeliers and African treasures. The bedroom, sitting room and en suite bathroom boast floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the magnificent Crater below. Your personal butler will discreetly tend to your every need, bringing you tea in bed, stoking your fireplace and drawing your bath. Your safari at Ngorogoro Crater Lodge game lodge will be an unforgetable experience!!!
