Ngorongoro Crater Accommodation with Tanzania Wild Camps

Ngorongoro crater accommodation with Tanzania Wild Camps

Ngorongoro crater accommodation, on this company’s own pages, is split between Karatu and Ngorongoro South. The homepage booking list includes Highview Hotel and Highview Coffee Lodge in Karatu, and Ngorongoro Wild Camp and Ngorongoro Safari Lodge in the south of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Those two southern camps are described as south-west of Karatu. Guests sleep there and drive to the crater for game viewing.

Tanzania Wild Camps is Tanzanian-owned. The About page names Zainab Ansell as founder and chief executive. The head office on the contact page is P.O. Box 94, Karatu. The same page lists +255 784 451 000, WhatsApp +255 655 451 003, and sales@wildcamps.com.

Highview Hotel, above Karatu town

Highview Hotel’s page places it on a hill above Karatu, with views over a green valley. The hotel sits in its own coffee plantation, and guests can walk through the coffee bushes. The page describes a restaurant, a lounge with a bar and fireplace, a swimming pool, and a spa. Cultural shows at the hotel include local music, dance, and acrobatics.

The same page calls Highview a base for Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Lake Eyasi, and it mentions day trips to a nearby coffee farm and the Iraqw cultural centre. The hotel is close to the forested slopes on the southern side of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. That forest is described as home to blue monkeys and turacos, and the page says wild elephants sometimes come down to the coffee farms at night.

Highview Coffee Lodge, on the same Karatu property

Highview Coffee Lodge is described as a quiet part of the Highview Hotel property, set among the coffee bushes. The page says the cottages have a private veranda looking over the valley and the plantation. Guests use the hotel’s pool, spa, restaurant, and lounge. Meals can be taken in a private dining tent, with the sun going down over the coffee farm.

A coffee tour on the grounds covers how the coffee is grown, picked, and roasted. The lodge sits close to the forested hills at the edge of the conservation area. The page names blue monkeys, bushbuck, and birds in that forest, and it says elephant tracks are sometimes seen near the lodge in the morning. Short nature walks leave from the lodge.

Two camps in Ngorongoro South

Ngorongoro Wild Camp and Ngorongoro Safari Lodge are both placed, on their own pages, in the south of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, south-west of Karatu.

Ngorongoro Wild Camp is a permanent tented camp. The page describes tents and cottages with a private shower and toilet, a veranda, and solar power for light and hot water. It calls the camp a midway stop for travellers going on toward Tarangire, the Serengeti, or Lake Natron. Meals are in the restaurant or at the bar, with sundowners, bush breakfasts, and bush barbecues also listed. Evenings include a campfire. The camp arranges game drives into Ngorongoro Crater. The page names lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino among the animals of that crater. Two earlier posts already walk through this camp in detail, https://tanzaniawildcamps.com/ngorongoro-wild-camp-your-ultimate-safari-retreat-in-tanzania/ and https://tanzaniawildcamps.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-ngorongoro-wild-camp-your-gateway-to-tanzanias-eden/, so this article only places it among the company’s crater stays.

Ngorongoro Safari Lodge is the other southern stay, also south-west of Karatu, and the overview calls it near the edge of the conservation area. The page describes luxury tents with a private bathroom and a quiet veranda. It says birdlife can be watched from the property. Evenings on that page are wildlife talks and Maasai dance and cultural displays.
