Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife

In northern Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is nicknamed “animal paradise” by local guides. It is concentrated in a setting about twenty kilometers in diameter. Perched on the slopes of the crater, a few rare hotels offer a breathtaking view of this exceptional site. The hotels built with local materials must blend into the landscape and the rooms allow you to sleep above the crater. The hotel is located in Maasai territory, where tourists can come and discover their culture.

Guests pay at least 350 euros for a double room and up to 1,200 euros for a suite. But those who can’t afford it can sleep outside the crater and go down for the day to get a closer look at the animals that live there, including on safaris that offer spectacular scenery and species, such as hippos.
