NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA:
                                                       Is a huge area containing active volcanoes, mountains, archaeological sites, rolling plains, forests,
                                                       lakes, dunes and ofcourse - Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge.

                                                       The views at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater are sensational. On the crater floor, grassland blends
                                                       into swamps, lakes, rivers, woodland and mountains - all a heaven for wildlife including the densest
                                                       predator population in Africa. The crater is home to up to 2,500 largest mammals.

                                                       

                                                       NGORONGORO WILDLIFE LODGE

                                                       
                                                       Perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater at 2,286 meters above sea level (with a 600 m sheer
                                                       drop down to the crater floor), the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge affords one of the greatest views of
                                                       the crater.

                                                       Its 75 rooms are centrally heated, and the lounge features a fireplace and panoramic windows
                                                       which open on to a terrace serving as an observation deck for the crater below. The lodge is a
                                                       3-hour drive from Arusha and 90 minutes from Manyara. The airstrip is only a 10-minute drive away.

                                                       NGORONGORO SOPA LODGE

                                                       

                                                       The lodge is located on Lemala Hill on the uppermost, eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, a World                                                        Heritage Site, in the volcanic highlands of northern Tanzania. The crater forms part of the
                                                       Ngorongoro Conservation Area which covers 8,300sq kms (3,200 sq. miles).

                                                       This World Heritage Site has been set aside to preserve and integrate the diverse values and
                                                       interests of wildlife, local people, archaeology, flora, tourism and the area's environment and
                                                       ecology.

                                                       The Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is, and will remain as , the only tourist development on the eastern rim
                                                       of the crater and thus offers our guests unique and spectacular views down into the crater floor
                                                       and of the sunsets over the western horizon. Another major advantage of this site that our guests
                                                       can enjoy is the fact that their crater safari begins within five minutes of leaving the lodge.

                                                       NGORONGORO SERENA SAFARI LODGE

                                                       

                                                       As if in a land before time, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is built into the rim of a dormant and                                                        collapsed volcano (known as a caldera), the plant and ivy-covered native stone blending masterfully
                                                       with its surroundings.

                                                       Close by lies the Olduvai Gorge, the "birthplace of man". Today the volcano and surrounding
                                                       landscape are part of a vast conservation area inhabited by the Masai tribe, as well as an
                                                       extraordinary svariety of  big game and birdlife.

                                                       Most guest rooms have private terraces with views of the crater floor where countless animals
                                                       make their home. At Ngorongoro Serena Lodge visitors co-exist in perfect harmony with the natural                                                        environment  and the wildlife that inhabits it.
