The 6 Ngorongoro Crater Rim Luxury Hotels : A popular stop on Tanzania’s Northern safari circuit, Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact caldera (a crater of volcanic origin) and the centerpiece of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). In addition to being a spectacular scenic phenomenon, the crater supports astonishing quantities of wildlife, including all the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino).
Ngorongoro accommodations fall into two geographic categories. On the forested crater rim, a select handful of luxury lodges and camps offer great views and are convenient for morning game drives. Farther afield, outside the NCA’s eastern boundary, a variety of mostly more affordable accommodations can be found around the town of Karatu.
