Arguably one of the most visually captivating lodges in Tanzania, The Highlands is an architectural marvel that epitomizes contemporary opulence.

Perched above the Olmoti crater, each domed, igloo-shaped suite is inspired by traditional Maasai bomas (homesteads) and sits high among the surrounding trees. The floor-to-ceiling bay windows offer 180-degree views of the dramatic landscape.

The Highlands’ prime location allows for exclusive activities such as the Olmoti nature walk, Empakaai Crater hike, and Ngorongoro Crater descent.

Beyond its status as a luxurious safari lodge, The Highlands is committed to empowering local communities and conserving the surrounding wildlife and nature. A US$ 5 levy included in every booking is invested into ecologically and economically vulnerable areas, transforming them into viable conservation economies with the help of its guests.

The rooms

Scattered across a forested slope are eight igloo-like bedroom domes, each furnished with an enormous bed facing the views, and plenty of cowhide rugs and tartan throws to keep you toasty. Mini wood-burning stoves crank up the heat every evening, and there’s normally a hot-water bottle or two under the fluffy duvet to look forward to. Chic en-suite bathrooms have showers big enough for two and plenty of hot water. Outside, the wraparound balcony is ideal for siestas and sundowners.
