Ngorongoro Lodge,
Tanzania
The place you choose to stay during your holidays plays a pivotal role in shaping your overall trip and perception of a destination. A remarkable hotel room has the power to enhance your journey, and when coupled with a captivating view, it transforms your stay into a truly unforgettable experience. Whether on a safari in Tanzania or in the heart of Manhattan, these hotel views will have you returning again and again to the same destinations, and the room with the best views.
The recently opened Ngorongoro Lodge in Tanzania offers travellers an idyllic luxury hideaway, complete with breath-taking views of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. The 600-metre-deep crater, 25,000 plus animals and 2.5 million years of history are just some of the treasures awaiting you in the country’s ‘Garden of Eden’. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to the densest population of lions in the world, as well as the endangered Black Rhino, and the property offers a menu of bespoke experiences that offer unrivalled exploration of the local area, all while preserving and protecting – think hot air balloon rides, spending time with the local Maasai people and dining experiences in the Crater.
