Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Tanzania

The Best

Three million years ago, Ngorongoro, one of the highest peaks in Africa, towered alongside Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania.  Then the volcano collapsed, forming the world's largest intact 'caldera' (steep-sided cavity).  Today, Ngorongoro remains a place of drama and beauty - the most remarkable wildlife haven on the planet and a photographer's dream.  High on the south-western rim,  resembling a Maasai village and with commanding views of this natural wonder, stands Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.  The lodge consists of three adjacent camps comprising 30 stone and thatch suites, perched on stilts on the crater rim.

WILDLIFE
The 12-mile wide volcanic crater is ringed with towering walls and sheltering forests, grasslands, fresh springs and a large lake.  The crater is teeming with 30,000 wild animals, including the "Big Five" and cheetah, hippo, zebra and wildebeest, and some 400 species of birds. 
 
FACILITIES
Each of the camps operates independently.  Each has a central living area and viewing decks overlooking the crater.  There is a communal curio shop and  gallery, and a library.  Pan-African cuisine is served in the outdoor dining area or domed dining room.   The Lodge also offers private bush breakfasts and lunches.
