Ngorongoro Crater

Rhino Lodge is ideally located on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater rim. The Lodge was originally the home of Ngorongoro’s first conservator, and its developers have maintained the house’s original rustic, low-impact style and natural setting.

Rhino Lodge offers a perfect base from which to explore the Ngorongoro crater and its surroundings. This lodge is located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, about a 100 meters from the crater rim.

It has 24 rooms, all of which are simply furnished and have ensuite bathrooms with showers. Each room also has a veranda where guests can relax and enjoy the view of the surrounding forests and a buffalo wallow.

Rhino Lodge is not luxurious but rather an affordable alternative on the edge of the crater and very comfortable. It is ideal for groups and families.

The lodge is operated in conjunction with the governing body of the area's Maasai, to ensure that they benefit from the lodge's success. Almost all the staff come from the local village, and part of the lodge's income goes directly to the Maasai community.

The inhouse restaurant has beautiful views overlooking the forest, with a wooden deck on which to sit if you'd prefer to eat al fresco. Inside, two fireplaces create a warm and cosy setting for the simple yet delicious food which is a mix of local and international tastes. Depending on the number of guests at the lodge, meals can be buffet or à la carte.

Rooms

The rooms are simple but comfortable, with woodburning stoves for chilly nights. En-suite bathrooms have a toilet, basin and shower with hot water. Bright blankets and throws made from Maasai fabrics add a splash of colour to the rooms.

Accessibility

Rhino Lodge is about 3 hours by car from Arusha.

You can also fly from Arusha to Manyara airstrip which takes about 40 minutes. From there, it's a scenic 45-minute drive to the lodge.

From the lodge it is only 20 minutes to reach the Seneto descent road into the Ngorongoro crater, and the Lerai ascent road is less than 5 minutes drive away. This enables you to spend the maximum time possible in the crater without having to drive far distances to reach your accommodation.
