Located on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, this lodge, with its elegant and spotlessly clean rooms is the ideal base for exploring the game-filled floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, as well as the nearby Empakaai Crater and Maasai village.

“Hobbit huts in Middle Earth”. “A Salvador Dali painting”. “A Baroque Fantasy”. “The Lost World”. We’ve heard Crater Lodge likened to a lot of things. And to be honest, it’s really hard to imagine just how fantastic (literally) it is: the richness, opulence and elegance of the flamboyant surroundings is unbelievable. But the key is in the views: looking across a landscape almost as unique as the hotel with wildlife almost as exotic, it all makes sense. And that, for us, makes it one of those places you must visit at least once in your life.
