Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Tanzania’s prehistoric Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, has yawned heavenward for millennia. Perched on the edge of Ngorongoro's rocky rim, Serena Lodge has the ultimate in views of the crater floor, straight from its lavish, balcony-ed rooms.
OVERVIEW
If you want to get closer to the action, it's only a short drive down for game drives amongst enormous pride of lion, cheetah, rhino, buffalo and elephant. Rated one of the top hotels globally, the lodge itself takes its inspiration from the famous "Cradle of Mankind" site at the nearby Olduvai Gorge and the rooms are decorated with stylized cave painting and glowing torches. It's certainly a larger lodge than most, but the location is simply unbeatable.

THE LODGE / CAMP
Dotted along the crater rim, the 75 suites have astonishing views of the plains below, and each has its own private, rock-enclosed balcony from which to gaze at the myriad of creatures that roam down. Finishing touches include brass lamps, timeless leather headboards, ancient carvings, and unique cave paintings that take inspiration from Africa's first peoples. Central heating also provides a much-need respite from the cold mists that encircle the crater.
