Crater Lodge’s dramatic location and unique “Maasai meets Baroque Chateau” design has made it one of the most unique and famous of all safari lodges.
Only here can you relax in an extravagant suite with brocade sofas, gilt mirrors, beaded chandeliers and panelled walls with one of the most stunning landscapes and big game viewing arenas right below you.
The lodge is divided into three camps – North, South and Tree Camp – which helps to maintain a smaller and more intimate feel. Each camp has its own sitting and dining areas, with private butlers to provide you with everything you need.
The sitting areas reflect a stately home with brocade sofas, persian rugs and huge mirrors hung above an open fire. The domed dining rooms are also extravagant with teak pannelling, lavish silver and crystal chandeliers.
The rooms are huge and luxurious – an eclectic blend of teak panelling, Victorian furnishings and whimsical African touches. Leather chairs recline in front of the fireplace and raw silk curtains screen a private veranda. Even the gigantic bathtub is set under a hand-beaded chandelier.
Crater Lodge is truly memorable and wonderfully indulgent and we have had a real blast when visiting. Whilst critics will say it’s not a genuine Africa experience you would have to be pretty miserable not to really enjoy it!

I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
Many thanks for a truly great holiday! Nyerere National Park was a great success as we saw the wild dogs on 2 occasions and some great lion kills. In fact we saw a pride of 10 lion including cubs within 10 mins of landing in the Nyerere National Park! Zanzibar was wonderful! The sunshine hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely.
The welcome and kindness and generosity we have received, in all of our camps and stops has been tremendous. Although we have both travelled a lot over our years together, we both agree this holiday has been outstanding, and one of the best experiences of our lives.
Thank you for organising a fabulous holiday for us – memories of which will last a lifetime. We have arrived back completely awed by Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw the all the wildlife we could possibly wish to see. Our driver was charming and looked after us brilliantly. Lodges were excellent and food fantastic.
