Property Details

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge in northern Tanzania lies within the 3,100 square miles of pristine African wilderness of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Inspired in design by the Maasai mud-and-stick manyatta, or homestead, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is steeped in the romance 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.

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 colors 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.
