Ngorongoro Crater Edge Lodge

The lodge is nestled on a gently falling slope within a grove of acacias, flat-topped trees indigenous to the African continent, located on the north-eastern side of the Crater and just a few minutes’ drive from the Crater floor. Wilderness Collection’s Crater’s Edge provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to truly immerse oneself in nature while indulging in the finest luxury comforts. The lodge is meticulously designed to harmonise with the African landscape, providing an intimate retreat that is at one with its natural surrounds. The rugged canvas exteriors, stone pathways, wooden teak flooring, and neutral colour palette of the decor all serve to echo the natural surrounds.

Private Dining

For a truly romantic and intimate dining experience, guests can arrange a private dinner under the stars, either on their suite’s private terrace or at a secluded spot within the lodge’s grounds. Magical.

How to Get Here

Fly into Lake Manyara Airport in northern Tanzania, which is 65km from the lodge’s door. It is then a 90-minute transfer to the lodge. Guests can also self-drive from Arusha, which is approximately a four-hour trip.

SafariBando's view

Ngorongoro Crater Edge Lodge’s position on the north-eastern rim of the Crater, just a few minutes’ drive from the Crater floor, combined with its design ethos of rugged canvas, stone pathways, and teak flooring that echo the surrounding acacia grove, creates a genuinely immersive yet luxurious retreat. The option of private dinners under the stars, on a suite's terrace or at a secluded spot in the grounds, adds a romantic, "once-in-a-lifetime" quality that justifies its premium positioning.
