Welcome to The Highlands Lodge
Perched on the slopes of the Olmoti Volcano, The Highlands redefines the safari experience in Ngorongoro with its unique architectural design and a perfect blend of wilderness and modern comfort. With sweeping views over the Ngorongoro Crater rim and the vast highland plains, this luxury retreat is an invitation to immerse yourself in both culture and nature.
Location
Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, The Highlands sits at a high altitude, offering crisp mountain air and breathtaking panoramas. It is a short drive to the famous Ngorongoro Crater, while still remaining tucked away in a private and exclusive setting.
Best Time to Visit
The Highlands is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry seasons (June–October and December–February), when wildlife viewing in the crater is at its peak.
For Whom?
Perfect for adventurous travelers, couples seeking romance, families wanting exclusivity, and guests who desire a unique blend of cultural connection and luxurious comfort. It’s also ideal for those looking for a quieter alternative to the busier lodges around the crater rim.
