The lodge is built from local river stone and camouflaged with indigenous vine so as to blend in with the landscape. Accommodations consist of seventy-five room scattered around the crater rim. Each room features its own private rock-enclosed balcony, brass lamps, embossed leather headboard, wildwood mirror, Maasai carvings, and stylized prehistoric cave paintings. The deluxe Kimba Suite offers spacious accommodation with sitting room, king-size bed, dressing area, natural stone en-suite bathroom, and fully stock mini-bar. For families, a triple room can be arranged as well as cots for the little ones.
The lodge is ideally located on the slopes of Ngorongoro Crater. Situated within northern Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains about 100 miles west of Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Created when an ancient volcano erupted and then collapsed upon itself, the crater is now carpeted with expansive grasslands dotted by a few acacia trees. The natural enclosure is home to impressive varieties and concentrations of wildlife including some 25,000 mammals. In addition to the zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest that graze the plains, the region is home to all of Africa’s “big five” mammals: lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant. The uniqueness of the crater’s topography and the accessibility of its wildlife make it a prime tourist destination in northern Tanzania.
Daily game drives led by expert guides travel to the crater floor where guests can enjoy breakfast or a picnic lunch in designated areas. There are also plenty of opportunities to hike and walk the forest slopes of the crater. Cultural visits to local Maasai villages are available to learn about their rich culture and traditions. At night, Maasai dancers perform around the campfire. Bird lovers will enjoy a chance to glimpse some of the 500 bird species found in the crater.
Blazing in the central dining room and bar area, a fire burns constantly. Buffet-style breakfasts and lunches give guests a wide variety of international choices, and dinners feature locally-sourced fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Bush dining is also popular, and staff is happy to accommodate requests for outdoor dining in several picturesque locations around the lodge. There is a gift shop, business center, and free Wi-Fi available. A child-friendly property, there are babysitting services as well as plenty of board games and books for the kids.
