andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

"The Ngorongoro Crater contains one of the world's greatest concentrations of wildlife (and Africa's highest concentration of lions) within its massive walls, making it one of the most enviable safari destinations on the entire continent. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge lets you wake up right in the midst of all that majesty, in one of 30 suites decked out with banana-leaf roofs, crystal chandeliers, and leather armchairs. Let the staff take you on game drives (complete with Swarovski binoculars) and meet-and-greets with the local Maasai and Hadzabe tribes before enjoying a holistic massage in your room, all capped off with a hot tea brought to your bed by a private butler. Think of it as Masai meets Versailles."
