The Highlands Ngorongoro

Speke says – “A high quality and unique lodge that is designed to make the most of the area with stunning views. You can’t go wrong with Asilia, great food and fantastic staff, a really superb option a little way away from most accommodation options in the area.”

The Highlands is an incredibly unique offering by Asilia Tanzania, a seasoned and much-loved safari operator. This remote, although within easy reach of the Ngorongoro Crater, camp offers a fantastic experience of the highlights of the area. Of course, the main reason to visit the area is visiting the Ngorongoro crater but you can also explore on foot with visits to the Empakaai crater, hiking up to the top of the Olmoti crater and even walking the local Masai cattle back to their boma at the end of the day. The main areas of this camp consist of a comfortable lounge and bar, a separate and beautiful open fire lounge and a further dining room with terrace that offers some of the most stunning views that you will ever see.

The eight domed suites are designed to make the most of the views with floor to ceiling windows as well as decking that curves around the suite. Inside you will find a king-sized bed and wood burning stove, to keep the room cosy and warm, as well as an en-suite bathroom with showers and hot running water.
