Forming part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Ngorongoro Highlands are a spectacular series of volcanic mountains that straddle the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The region is located just south of the Serengeti and is the ideal place to base yourself while wildlife-spotting in the Ngorongoro Crater or to spend a night on your return journey from the Serengeti to Arusha.
In contrast to the surrounding national parks, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is operated under different rules, with long hikes permitted through its majestic landscapes. It also protects the lands and traditional way of life of the Maasai people, together with other tribal groups who live according to ancient customs. The region is also home to the Olduvai Gorge, which has been dubbed the “Cradle of Mankind” as the earliest known remains of homo sapiens were discovered here.
With so much to see and do in the region, accommodation such as the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge has been established to cater to discerning travellers. It provides an enchanting base for experiencing everything the Ngorongoro Highlands have to offer while boasting unparalleled views across the wildlife-filled crater below.
