Quiet Luxury on the Ngorongoro Highlands
Set among acacia woodland on the quieter north-eastern side of the Ngorongoro highlands, at close to 2,400 metres, Lemala Osonjoi Lodge is a calm, contemporary retreat just minutes from the Lemala Gate. That position is its secret weapon: guests can drop early onto the eastern crater floor, ahead of the crowds, for the best of the Ngorongoro's extraordinary wildlife.
Twenty generous suites — including two-bedroom family suites — are spaced well apart for privacy among the trees, each with a free-standing tub, indoor and outdoor showers and a spacious lounge. A swimming pool and spa add to the sense of unhurried highland luxury, between crater descents, guided walks and Maasai cultural encounters.
