Built from local river stone and timber and clad in living creepers, it blends almost invisibly into the crater rim while every room enjoys an uninterrupted view down into the caldera.
A Serena Hotels lodge perched on the western rim, thoughtfully constructed from natural stone and timber to echo the dwellings of the region and sit lightly on the landscape. All rooms face the crater, and the lodge offers reliable comfort, a central rim position and an easy descent road. A dependable upper-mid-tier choice with classic Serena polish.
Flying in
The nearest airstrip is Ngorongoro, about 20 min by road from the lodge. See the real fly-in routes and how the rest of the region connects on the Getting Around map.
