Africa's Best Authentic Tailor-Made Safaris

Craters Edge

Overview

This is a luxury lodge set on the north-eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, offering tented suites perched in a grove of acacia trees with views straight into the crater. The design blends with the natural surroundings using canvas, wood, stone and neutral tones. Guests enjoy game drives, sunsets, stargazing (including views of stars like Sirius & Canopus), walking tours and cultural visits. The lodge experiences a dry season (June–October) with cooler rim mornings and more mist, and a wetter season (November–May) with short and long rains, though rainfall seldom lasts all day. Transport options include flying into Lake Manyara Airport (~65 km away then ~90 min transfer) or self-driving ~4 hours from Arusha.
