andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge has been called the game lodge at the top of the world and, between the natural riches of the Crater and the amazing architecture, you’ll be truly spoilt.

Once a gigantic volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania is now the largest intact caldera in the world. Today, long since having collapsed and eroded, it is an extensive highland area with the famous 600m (2,000ft) deep crater as its focal point. Nearly three million years old, the ancient caldera shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth - an estimated 25,000 large mammals are resident in this bowl of plenty.

Divided into three camps, 30 stilted suites with banana leaf ceilings and grass roofs provide an intimate and exclusive Crater experience. Each camp has its own sitting and dining areas, with private butlers to provide warm, personal service to each guest. An array of whimsical African touches creates a sumptuous atmosphere that is as elegant and unique as the Crater itself.

Each suite at is decorated with graceful antiques, grand chandeliers and elegant African treasures. The bedroom, sitting room and en suite bathroom boast floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the magnificent Crater below. Beaded chandeliers hang above large gilt mirrors, while antiques, raw silk curtains and leather-backed chairs blend harmoniously with African art elements. En suite bathrooms with a dramatic centrepiece of red roses feature spacious showers and chandelier-lit bathtubs. To top off this luxury experience, you have your own personal butler attending to your every need, whether it’s bringing tea in bed, stoking fireplaces or drawing luxurious bubble baths.
