Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

nclrmfromout

Perched on the edge of the ancient crater rim, the architectural masterpiece of the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is a magnificent return to the noble elegance of the travelling colonials. Inspired in design by the Masai manyatta, three separate camps remember a bygone era when characters such as Lord Delamere adorned the stilted, handcrafted structures with graceful antiques, grand chandeliers and treasures collected from travels through Africa.

Under the soaring banana thatch roof, suede, velvet, silk and taffeta establish the decadence of the bedroom while Zanzibari carving and chandeliers (hand-made by the Maasai) float above a central stone-clad bath. All of this however, remains subordinate to the magnificence of the verdant crater that pours through the window of every room. . . As the cool breeze wafts the scent of great bowls of titian roses, it billows the raw silk curtains that frame one of the greatest views on Earth.

The lodge comprises of 3 camps, North & South camp with 12 suites each and Tree Camp with an exclusive 6 suites. All suites have en suite bathroom, a private deck and a lounge with a fire place.
