At &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, guests might be forgiven for losing track of which era, or even continent, they’re in. Nowhere else on the planet can you wake up surrounded by all the trappings of a beautiful baroque castle — brocade sofas, gilt mirrors, beaded chandeliers, and panelled walls – and be instantly transported into one of Africa’s most iconic vistas with just a glimpse out the lodge window. Anything is possible in this place of dramatic contrasts, where Versailles meets Maasai, and the natural luxury of the breathtakingly magnificent surroundings means your suite’s dramatic decor combines seamlessly with its stilted thatch construction.
