Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Inspired in design by the Maasai mud-and-stick homestead, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is one of the most spectacular safari lodges in Africa. It is perched on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater and offers spectacular views into the crater. Wild buffaloes abound, zebras bray out their ”good morning” as you open the balcony door to breathe in the crisp mountain air, warm, scented tub baths with a flickering candle to add that touch of romance and magic. Sipping an early evening gin tonic on the terrasse and watching the wildlife down in the crater while the last rays of the sun paint the scene in a golden light is a magical experience which is matched by the electrically heated mattrasses that ensure a cosy night in spite of sometimes chilly outside temperatures.
