Lodge to Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is considered one of the Wonders of the Natural World. Spanning 102 square miles and featuring walls that rise 2,000 feet high, the crater serves as a unique sanctuary, home to almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It is one of the rare locations on the continent where you can spot the black rhinoceros. The crater boasts a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a high concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It is also renowned for its elephants, which are the largest in the world and possess enormous tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater truly deserves its title as a Wonder of the Natural World.
