Although secluded and peaceful, The Highlands is located just one hour from the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for exceptional wildlife viewing. Guests can enjoy thrilling game drives to spot the Big Five, including lion, elephant, and endangered black rhino, while exploring one of Africa’s most spectacular safari destinations.

Beyond traditional crater safaris, The Highlands offers a range of immersive experiences. Hike to the summit of Olmoti Crater for panoramic highland views, descend to Empakaai Crater’s flamingo-filled soda lake, or connect with the local Maasai community through authentic cultural encounters that enrich your Tanzanian safari adventure.

Designed as a luxury boutique safari lodge, The Highlands features eight unique dome-shaped suites made from canvas and perspex, perfectly positioned among lush forest and dramatic volcanic scenery. Each elegant suite includes an en suite bathroom with hot running water and a shower, while the romantic honeymoon suite boasts a private outdoor hot tub overlooking the wilderness. Families travelling to Ngorongoro are equally well accommodated with a spacious interconnected family suite designed for adults and children.
