The Highlands Lodge sits on the end of a forested mountainside, neighboring the Olmoti Volcano. A unique feature of the Lodge is the shape of the dome-shaped canvas tents, all situated with incredible views. The main area of the Lodge comprises a comfortable lounge area, with a cozy fireplace adding to the charming ambiance while meals are enjoyed in the indoor dining room or out on the terrace, perhaps even a bush breakfast or dinner if weather permits.
Guests can enjoy some time relaxing in the library or indulge in a spa treatment during their stay. Gathering around the outdoor campfire is the perfect way to end the day, guests will be lulled by the crackling fire, and given a chance for them to share stories of their day on safari. There is a small gift shop for guests to browse through in search of their ideal souvenir. There is WiFi throughout the camp and guests have access to laundry services during their stay.
The Highlands Lodge is located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area near Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater. It is located near the Olmoti Volcano. Flights from Arusha Airport to Lake Manyara Airstrip followed by a three-hour drive is the best way to get to the Lodge. The drive from Arusha Airport is around four and a half hours.
The eight Luxury Dome Suites are unique in their design, the dome shape offering a truly out-of-this-world ambiance. The suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor deck that wraps around the dome-shaped tent, both offering an ideal space to sit and gaze out over the forested hills and surrounding wilderness. There are six Standard Suites that can be configured either as a double with a king-sized bed or a twin with two single beds. The one Honeymoon Suite boasts a king-sized bed plus an outdoor hot tub, a truly romantic escape. The Family Suite has a king-sized bed plus one or two single beds can be set up in a smaller tent on the deck, for younger children (children staying at The Highlands must be five years and older).
