Facing the always magnificent sunsets to the west, and located at the highest point on Ngorongoro crater’s entire rim, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge stands well over half a kilometre above the crater floor and offers unparalleled views across this enormous caldera.

Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is a mid-range accommodation, accommodating up to 190 guests and popular with tour groups. As the only lodge on the eastern rim of Ngorongoro Crater, it effectively has its own access road down into the crater. The carpeted bedrooms are en suite, with central heating and two queen-size beds, with plenty of space to add a third bed for family use.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural amphitheatre and one of the most dramatic settings in Africa.
