Accommodations consist of just thirteen (13) luxury suites and one additional 2-bedroom family suite. The stand-alone suites are perched on stilts overlooking the flat-topped acacia forest that is often shrouded in mist. Each of the luxuriously appointed suites has a spacious lounge area with two oversized chairs, fireplace, and a free-standing tub. The tent itself is encircled by a private wooden veranda sporting comfortable seating with superb views. There is even a spotting scope on the balcony where you can try your luck spotting animals and birds in the surrounding forest.

Each tent is equipped with an ensuite bathroom complete with running water, dual washbasins, toilet, shower, and a hairdryer. 24-hour electricity is provided but WIFI is currently only accessible from the main lodge areas. There is also the sprawling main lodge area, which contains the library, outdoor and indoor dining room, wildlife viewing decks, and the lounge and bar, which features specialty cocktails in the form of a dawa. The word 'dawa' means medicine in Swahili and is a deliciously refreshing alcoholic drink of white spirits poured over honey or brown sugar, lime, and mint freshly picked from the lodge's garden.

The gourmet restaurant showcases locally inspired dishes, as well as international cuisine, crafted from seasonal ingredients sourced from the nearby volcanic farmlands just outside the conservation area. There are two dining areas at the lodge that are utilized depending upon the weather. The inside restaurant is cozy and boasts a roaring fireplace, while the outdoor dining area enjoys an open-air fire under the stars. The surrounding expansive decks host the sundowner area and offer dramatic views down into the Crater.

This luxurious venue on the remote eastern rim of the Crater is all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Crater's Edge Lodge is one of only two properties located inside the Ngorongoro Crater park gate. And best of all, the access road to the Crater floor is HALF as long as all other properties on the rim, and TWICE as easy to transverse. This easy access road is a major perk for those safari enthusiasts who want to be the FIRST vehicle in the Crater at dawn to maximize their wildlife viewing experience!
