Why this Package

This exclusive lodge, perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, offers breathtaking views and swift access to the crater floor, ensuring you maximize your wildlife encounters.
At Crater’s Edge, dining is an exquisite affair. Savor multi-course gourmet meals that blend international fine dining with local Swahili influences. Enjoy breakfast with stunning sunrise views over the crater, and delight in picnic lunches packed for your game drives.
