Your own luxury home in Africa
The magic of Ngorongoro unfolds from the very first syllable of its captivating name. The name itself – Ngorongoro – seems to beckon us on a journey to Tanzania’s volcanic highlands. And then, as if on cue, the breathtaking sight appears: a massive crater formed over two million years ago when a mountain rivaling Kilimanjaro in size exploded and collapsed. This wonder, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, becomes our playground, explored from the luxurious haven of Ngorongoro Lodge Melia.
This prestigious lodge, designed with utmost respect for its World Heritage Site setting, boasts impressive sustainability features like solar-powered electricity and on-site water bottling. Imagine falling asleep to the symphony of nature, and waking up to a natural oasis teeming with wildlife, including the Big Five.
With a bit of luck, you’ll spot them all during your luxurious Bush 2 City Safari. Explore the area’s unparalleled biodiversity on foot or from the comfort of your safari vehicle, guided by your expert Bush 2 City Adventure Safari Director. Cap off an unforgettable day with a scenic picnic or sundowner within the crater itself, which plunges a staggering 2,000 feet. Spanning an impressive 14 miles edge to edge, Ngorongoro Crater holds countless secrets, but your Bush 2 City Master knows all the best spots to witness its magnificence.
