the surrounding forests and, on clear days, the distant Serengeti plains. It is about an hour’s drive from the Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for both easy access to game drives and a more private setting away from busier areas.

The property features eight canvas-and-glass domed suites, including one honeymoon suite. Each suite includes a wood-burning stove, en-suite bathroom, and large windows that provide natural light and views. Interiors are designed with a mix of local materials and modern furnishings. The honeymoon suite includes a private outdoor hot tub.

Guests have access to indoor lounge spaces with a fireplace, a bar, a dining area, a library, and a wellness space with a sauna. Meals are freshly prepared using local ingredients and served in a variety of settings.

Activities include guided game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater, hikes to the rim of the Olmoti Crater, and walks into the Empakaai Crater to see its soda lake and flamingos. Cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities are also possible, with a focus on authentic interaction.

The lodge is well suited to travelers seeking privacy, scenic surroundings, and a mix of safari and cultural experiences in a remote part of the Ngorongoro region.
