As you wake up slowly, the butler fills up your bath. A dream? No, not when you wake up in one of the suites at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. From that benevolent bath of deliciously scented oils, look out at the imposing, multimillion-year-old Ngorongoro crater.
The Ngorongoro crater is considered one of the wonders of the world and is a ‘world heritage’ of UNESCO. It is the largest intact crater in the world, packed with animals; a true piece of paradise on earth. The nickname of the Ngorogoro crater is also called ‘the Garden of Eden’ and that is not surprising, given the wildlife present. Not only does the ‘Big Five’ live here, the bird lover can also enjoy himself here. Thousands of flamingos wade into the shallow Lake Magadi, as well as dozens of other species of birds. The local Masai are allowed to graze their herds of cattle in the crater during the dry period. A spectacular sight.
The Ngorongoro Crater lodge consists of three separate camps, two of which have twelve luxurious and comfortable suites, and third the very exclusive Tree Camp with six suites. The lodges are built with respect for nature and in harmony with the surroundings. The service, (colonial) atmosphere and quality of the food (pan-African cuisine) are of the level belonging to a prime location like this. Crystal chandeliers, candlelit dining, comfortable chairs and a discreet butler that is at your disposal almost around the clock.
From the lodge you can take part in various activities, a walk on the flanks of the Ngorongoro crater, foot safaris accompanied by an experienced guide, excursions to the fairytale Eyasi lake and private ‘dinners’ in the bush or on your own veranda. Totally spectacular is a lunch at the bottom of the Ngorongoro crater. With its lush slopes and lake slopes also the favorite place of many wild animals. No trouble spotting lions here. A day of action. When it cools down in the evening and you take a final look at the African starry sky, you’ll arrive at home in a handsome fire-heated lodge.
