“One of the most exclusive and luxurious hotels in the world, and one of the most unique. Fantastic views to the extinct volcano packed with game. Sumptuous opulence, colonial elegance, and a spoiling butler service. ”

Hotel review

Voted year on year as one of the top ten hotels on the planet. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is quite rightly the flagship property for the Conservation Corporation and one of the world's most unique hotels. The rooms and communal areas offer views directly down into an extinct volcano packed with the highest density of game in Africa. The sumptuous opulence and spoiling butler service will ensure you remember the crater for years to come.
