Ngorongoro Farm House

Roomy cottages set on farmland in the highlands outside the crater. Each has an en-suite bathroom and a private veranda facing the fields and the hills behind them.

Food is grown on the property and cooked in the lodge kitchen. There are coffee plantations to walk through, a spa, and guided walks on the estate. It works as a base for the crater without being on the rim, which usually means a warmer night and a longer morning drive.
