Amazing amenities at a mindblowing location. Also the included food options were superb.

The view was simply fascinating. The photos would never do the view justice, believe me! There is a moment of fascination the moment you see the crater view from the your room. I don't get these moments a lot. Staff is beyond friendly, like all branches of Serena. Everything you want will be accommodated for you!

Location, location, location. The view of the crater is unbeatable, and there aren't too many spots left on the planet where you can see stars (and beyond) like you can at Ngorongoro Serena. Service and food quality and variety was excellent, and to top everything off, I found my vehicle, which was covered in two week's worth of mud, sparkling clean the morning after our arrival.

Delicious food, friendly staff, and priceless views of Ngorongoro Crater! You will never forget your stay here. It's pricey but absolutely worth it for the experience of a lifetime.

This property is beautifully located on the edge of the crater, my room had a magnificent view with a spectacular sunrise. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is well suited to a solo traveler.

It was a great breakfast just next to a great lanscape. you can enjoy the view of the grongoro crater perfectly.

Spectacular location, very comfortable rooms, great lodge.

Perfect location, absolutely stunning to see the magnificent Ngorongoro crater from the comfort of the lodge. Especially sunrise is breathtaking. The stay itself is a unique experience. Staff are very well trained and very attentive to guests, they all have shown us true East African natural hospitality.

The attention of the staff is really great. We were so happy.

Stunning views over the Ngorongoro Crater from every room. It is this that is the principal reason to choose this Hotel. Everything else was OK but not spectacular. In our case we were particularly disorganised about all our park permits as we self organised the trip, not using a safari company, and a flight delay took our park entry past 6 PM. It was all sorted with help from the hotel but then we were fortunate to have got the mobile phone number of a particularly helpful manager; this turned a potentially disasterous trip into a great one!

Excellent location!

10 of the Best Ngorongoro Crater Lodges & Camps

Philip is a renowned Africa expert and author of the Bradt guidebook to Tanzania.

A popular stop on Tanzania’s Northern safari circuit, Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera 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).

Accommodation at Ngorongoro is plentiful and it mostly falls into one of two broad geographic categories. Pride of place goes to a select handful of lodges and camps set right on the forested crater rim, but an increasingly varied choice can also be found around the town of Karatu, just outside the NCA’s eastern boundary.

Lodges on the crater rim offer the best views and are most convenient for morning game drives, but their counterparts around Karatu tend to be more affordable. Here are 10 of the best Ngorongoro safari lodges and camps, in approximate order of closeness to the crater floor.

Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp

Ideal for those who don’t want to retreat behind brick and mortar at the end of a day on safari, this luxurious Ngorongoro camp has an enchanted setting in an umbrella-thorn forest on the eastern crater rim. It’s a chilly location, true, but this is countered by a roaring campfire and the provision of gas heaters and electric blankets in the spacious tents. The location, a couple of kilometers inside the easterly Lemala Gate, is perfect for early morning game drives.

Sanctuary Ngorongoro Tours

Lemala Ngorongoro

Like Sanctuary Ngorongoro, Lemala is an exclusive Ngorongoro camp set in a fairy-tale forest inside Lemala Gate. The nine tents here are truly massive (each one contains two queen-size beds) and they’re also fitted with gas heaters and 24-hour solar power. You’ll love the dining tent, which evokes safaris of old with its beautiful wood and leather furnishings.

Lemala Ngorongoro Tours

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Serena Hotels operates six different properties on Tanzania’s Northern circuit, and all deliver when it comes to location, quality and relative affordability. The Ngorongoro Serena is no exception, with its spacious, centrally heated rooms and memorable setting in a forested valley overlooking the crater. Logistically, this is the closest accommodation to the main western descent road to the crater floor, which gives it a definite edge when it comes to early morning game drives.

Ngorongoro Serena Tours

&Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

The most striking feature of most lodges on Ngorongoro’s rim is the view over the crater floor. Not so at &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. True, this perfectly sited property, which started life as a hunting lodge in the 1930s, offers utterly unforgettable views. But it’s the playful Maasai-meets-Versailles architecture and decor, with its mix of baroque, classical, African and colonial touches, that makes it absolutely unique. What’s more, the crater is a constant visual presence throughout the lodge, at least when the highland mist permits, and game drives are led by some of Tanzania’s most knowledgeable guides.

&Beyond Ngorongoro Tours

Entamanu Ngorongoro

Nomad Tanzania operates some of the country’s most remote, luxurious and exclusive bush lodges. Entamanu Ngorongoro, the only accommodation situated on the northern crater rim, is a great example. The cottages here, newly built in 2023 and spread across two camps, are the last word in bush chic and also offer splendid views over the crater rim. But it is the isolated location, in an exclusive Maasai concession, that really sets this camp apart and allows it to provide the closest thing there is to a genuinely exclusive Ngorongoro safari experience.

Entamanu Ngorongoro Tours

The Highlands

There’s nothing formulaic about The Highlands. Built and managed by Asilia Africa, this exclusive Ngorongoro lodge has a wonderfully isolated location on the rim of the scenic Olmoti Crater, which lies in the northern NCA about an hour’s drive from Ngorongoro Crater. Accommodation is in eight stilted canvas-and-glass domed suites that offer sensational views over the forested walls of Olmoti Crater and are well insulated to offset the chilly highland climate.

The Highlands Tours

Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro

This stately lodge bordering the NCA is notable for its gabled facades and whitewashed exteriors, which recall the Cape Dutch architectural style associated with South Africa’s Winelands. It has a commanding hilltop setting on a coffee estate and the characterful split-level cottages come with king-size beds, roaring fireplaces and old-fashioned bathtubs.

Elewana The Manor Tours

Gibb’s Farm

Set on a century-old coffee estate, Gibb’s Farm first opened its doors to tourists in the 1970s and has since evolved into the most luxurious lodge near Karatu. The 17 spacious guest cottages offer a contemporary take on colonial-style decor, while hearty four-course meals prepared with homegrown organic produce are served in a converted 1920s farmhouse. There’s a big focus on community involvement: activities and services include locally guided cultural tours, forest hikes and bird walks, while the spa offers traditional massages by a Maasai elder.

Gibb’s Farm Tours

The Retreat at Ngorongoro

One of Ngorongoro’s best compromises between cost and comfort, this modern boutique lodge stands in large grounds that border the forests of the NCA. Cottages are large and well-equipped, and amenities include a swimming pool, gym, spa and jogging path.

The Retreat Tours

The Plantation Lodge

Although chain-owned lodges now dominate the Northern safari circuit, a few individually run holdouts still survive. A favorite among these is The Plantation Lodge, which has been owned and managed by the same welcoming German couple since the 1990s. Situated on the hills outside Karatu, this lodge absolutely oozes quality, from the stylish classic-contemporary decor to the swimming pool set in large flowering gardens. The exceptional cuisine is made from fresh produce grown on-site or sourced from local suppliers.

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge: Our full report

The Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a 75-room hotel, built in 1996, with a truly outstanding location: ...

The Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge doesn't pretend to be anything other than a large hotel. Its design lacks personality and it feels a bit dated. That said it has benefitted from a soft refurbishment and it is comfortable, functional, warm. It is also one of only a handful of lodges right on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater. So whilst its size means it won't be everyone's first choice, its location and affordability will tempt many to stay here.

Consistently recognised as one of the world’s most luxurious and elegant places to stay, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is situated right on the edge of the crater, offering unbeatable views of one of the natural wonders of the world.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
