WELCOME TO

Crater's Edge

NGORONGORO

Overview

Crater's Edge is a luxury tented camp set within a grove of acacia trees just a few minutes’ drive from the Ngorongoro Crater floor, a truly idyllic setting.

Rooms

Fifteen spacious, stand-alone tented suites are set on wooden platforms with floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture the views across the trees to the rim of the Crater. The tents are decorated in neutral colours and extremely well-appointed, with canopied beds, free-standing bathtubs, chairs for lounging around the fireplace and a private veranda. Binoculars and a telescope to make the most of the views are a thoughtful touch. Two suites connect, an ideal option for friends and families.

Facilities

The main lodge has two restaurant spaces, one indoors and one outdoors with a firepit for cooler evenings. Menus feature locally inspired dishes accompanied by fine wines and views towards the Crater. Cocktails are served in the bar and there’s a lounge and a cosy library. 

Activities available from the lodge include game drives into the Crater, a lunch on the Crater floor, nature walks, and a visit to a Maasai village.

Our thoughts

" The lodge has an excellent location - being so close to the entrance gate, you can be on the Crater floor and amongst the wildlife in little more than 10 minutes. "

"The trip was amazing in almost every aspect. The transfers were slick and flawless, all the drivers were very helpful, punctual and accommodating, the element we were worrying about, the left luggage was even easier than we thought. The hotel in Zanzibar was beautiful and again the staff were amazingly welcoming and helpful. It was a shame to have to leave. "

"Great holiday! Our safari guide was really good, knowledgeable, polite and sensible. The Lodge was really good, which offset Janes worries about a tent... but plush tent with ceramic loo! We saw the big 5 and scenery was amazing. Video of hippos still makes us laugh and warthogs really do hop like the cartoon Lion King. "

"We had an amazing holiday – more than we could have ever hoped for! We absolutely loved Tanzania. Our guide was fantastic. This was a first-time safari, so were very nervous but now want to go to Africa again!"
