How They Dazzle Us

The Serengeti is the location that is most talked about, but in terms of game viewing and a bona fide African experience it is the Ngorongoro Crater that is really the crown jewels. The crater, which was formed millions of years ago when a volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself. What is left is now the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera and it is positively teeming with animals. Almost a kilometre deep, the floor of the crater is approximately 260 square kilometres. It is an astounding place and this incredible landing is perched on the crater’s rim, with panoramic views all around. It’s remarkable.

Why We Love Them

Described by some as the game lodge at the top of the world, this sumptuous landing is part Maasai, part Versailles. Given the amount of game available to see it is hard to believe that the landings architecture is actually what we love most, but this is indeed the case. Designed to enhance the incredible views, furnished to perfection with a blend of African whimsy and Victorian class and staffed by world class butlers, the dramatic interior of the suites blends perfectly with the tilted thatch architecture. This landing is positively out of this world.

Their Sustainable Superpower

Given its presence on the rim of one of the most ecologically and socially sensitive places on the planet this incredible landing is forced by legislation and compelled by a genuine desire to do good in the world. The team here seek to create real experiences that will ensure that the legacy that has been built will be carried through for future generations. Walking tours, encounters with the local herdsmen who live amongst the wild animals, and a compelling educational programme for younger visitors, means that the work carried out at this lodge is beneficial to the whole area.
