Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge

Safari Lodge on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim

Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge occupies a spectacular position on the Ngorongoro Crater rim, offering sweeping views across the crater floor and its surrounding highlands. Its location inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area makes it an excellent base for travellers who want to stay close to the crater and begin their wildlife experience early in the morning.

The lodge combines one of Tanzania’s most dramatic safari settings with comfortable accommodation, dining facilities, and convenient access to Ngorongoro Crater. It works particularly well as part of a Northern Tanzania itinerary connecting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti.

Getting There

Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge is situated inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the crater rim. From Arusha, the journey generally forms part of a Northern Tanzania safari route through Mto wa Mbu and Karatu before entering the conservation area. Its crater-rim position is the property's biggest advantage, allowing guests convenient access for an early descent into Ngorongoro Crater.
