A Luxurious Retreat Above the Crater
Built on the historic site of the former Rhino Lodge — the oldest in the crater — Laba Ngorongoro Crater enjoys an extraordinary position just steps from the crest and as close as possible to the park entrance. At an elevation of around 2,200 metres, it is a warm, luxurious retreat with twenty exclusive, supremely comfortable suites.
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's great natural wonders: a vast, intact caldera sheltering dense concentrations of wildlife, including black rhino, lion, elephant and flamingo-fringed lakes. From here you are perfectly placed for an early descent onto the crater floor before the crowds arrive.
