andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Nestled between the natural riches of the Crater and the amazing architecture, andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is literally a game lodge on the top of the world.

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. There is an estimated 25,000 large mammals resident in this bowl of plenty.
