The number of lodges at the Ngorongoro crater is limited, but all of them are situated on or very near the rim. This gives guests breathtaking views of one of the outstanding natural wonders of the world. It stretches out to the horizon before their very eyes.

$$$$ = high, $$$ = mid-to-high
The
private decks of the 30 stylishly appointed guest suites have stunning views of the Ngorongoro Crater floor (see
photo).
High
staff-to-guest ratio delivers superb service.
Guests
enjoy exclusivity and privacy

Wildlife LodgeThere is a luxury camp (Lemala) on the rim. However, you don't get the sensational views of the crater from your room or main unit as you do from the lodges.
The more basic campsites are not near the rim. Moreover, you simply cannot walk to the rim on your own for the view. The reserve makes that illegal for safety's sake (wild animals roam the territory and the crater's walls are hazardously sheer and deep). Your explorations require an accredited guide.
