Teetering on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the exotic Ngorongoro Crater Lodge overlooks one of Africa's most dazzling sights. Six hundred metres below lies 'Africa's Eden', the most concentrated area of game in the world where some thirty thousand wild animals roam a basin just 12 miles across.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is lavish beyond belief. Vaulted Maasai style huts furnished with four poster beds, shot-silk curtains and chandeliers, suites with devoted personal butlers and world class cuisine belie the prosaic title 'safari lodge'. As the New York Times wrote, "the Crater Lodge is like a Hollywood set with Phantom of the Opera excess; wildly over the top and justly deserving of the nickname 'The Maasai meets Versailles'".
Game viewing is equally stupendous. The crater, a World Heritage Site, is the best self contained safari destination in the world and teems with wildlife. Guided game drives are guaranteed to produce stunning results and once you have had your fill of the Crater's marvels, there are fascinating Maasai villages to visit as well as the Olduvai Gorge which is home to Richard Leaky's museum depicting his ' early day man' discoveries.
