    Rhino Lodge is ideally located on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater rim. The Lodge was originally the home of Ngorongoro’s first conservator, and its developers have maintained the house’s original rustic, low-impact style and natural setting. Rhino Lodge offers a perfect base from which to explore the Ngorongoro crater and its surroundings. Game drives into the crater, and, for the more adventurous, walking safaris in the forest reserve and visits to nearby Maasai villages, can all be arranged from the lodge. And, on return after a long day, 24 comfortable en suite rooms with forest views, a cozy living space, friendly local staff and generous African-inspired meals offer guests a warm welcome home.

    the place is cheap but watch out the bill if you drink anything! The lodge staff is really nice, the location is beautiful (in the middle of the forest outside the crater, so no crater view), the food is good and there’s a huge living/diving room where you can also get drinks…

    Thank you for such a wonderful review Deb. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Rhino. So glad to hear that you were able to experience how close the buffalo come to Rhino.
