Set on the edge of the mountain forest hugging the Olmoti Volcano to the north of Ngorongoro Crater, The Highlands strikes a perfect balance between a true wilderness experience and a high-end contemporary escape. Experience the highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, follow ancient Masai trails to the summit of Olmoti crater, and visit local communities to catch a glimpse into the traditional Masai way of life. The famous Ngorongoro Crater is easily accessible from camp, and the setting ensures maximum privacy, a rich adventure and a range of activities.
