The Condé Nast award-winning Ngorongoro Crater Lodge (a CC Africa property) sits on the rim of the remarkable Ngorongoro Crater. Inspired in design by the Masai mud-and-stick manyatta (homestead), this is without doubt one of the most architecturally spectacular safari lodges in Africa. The UK Condé Nast Traveller rated Ngorongoro Crater Lodge as the 2nd Best Hotel in the World and the US Condé Nast Traveller Hot List recognised Ngorongoro Crater Lodge for its dedication to service and outstanding design.

The 30 glamourous safari suites each offer spectacular views of the crater from large glass windows in the bathroom, lounge and bedroom. Expect voluptuous raw silk curtains, tall leather-backed chairs, carved panelling and plenty of African art. The en-suite bathrooms have a beautiful red-rose centrepiece and feature huge showers and chandelier-lit bath tubs. Personal butlers discreetly tend to guests every need, from stoking the fireplace, bringing tea or drawing a luxurious bath. The domed dining room, with its fireplace, crystal, silver and massive wooden platters turns every meal into a special and romantic occasion.
