Further Information
Crater Lodge is perched on the edge
of the Ngorongoro Crater and is, without doubt, one of the most staggeringly
opulent and architecturally spectacular lodges in Africa. The staff are extremely
efficient, the food is of the very best quality and the service is second
to none. To stay here is a real treat.
A fusion of earth
and baroque luxury in the form of three African villages, each one has ten
private ensuite cottages commanding dazzling views of the crater floor. Each
mud and thatch suite is decorated with grand chandeliers and African artefacts.
Massive windows in the bedrooms, sitting rooms and ensuite bathrooms offer
sensational views of the crater. Personal butlers are on call to see to guests'
every need, bringing tea in bed, stoking the fire and running the bath.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique and fascinating game-viewing area. This
once volcanic crater shelters numerous animals against the dramatic back-drop
of the crater walls and the lodge is a great base from which to explore this
amazing park.
