Certificate of Excellence

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.

Wonderful respite after a dusty day

We spent the night here after visiting the CRATER. Our room was comfortable and the shower great. We loved sitting on our terrace watching the water bucks frolic in the grass outside. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and the service was excellent

Great lodge on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim

Really perfect experience at Rhino Lodge, even if we only stayed shortly, arriving at night from safari, leaving early the next morning. Nice and cozy restaurant, good service, food was delicious. Comfortable, yet basic rooms, but with a fireplace (that the staff lit for you),…

Amazing food

Once we arrived at the lodge it seems like a simple place. Clean, comfortable and kind staff. The rooms had a great balcony were you could see the wild animals in front of you like water buffalos. It was chilly at night and we had a small wood stove in our bedroom nice touch to…

We had an amazing stay at this place, the balcony views were amazing. We saw a dik-dik outside our room along with a lot of exotic birds. The sunrise view from the breakfast area is really spectacular, and the meals were the best of all the meals we had during our week long…

Hello Verriem, We were surprised by your review. Our reception staff is usually very friendly, can you try to help identify with who you might have had problems? All our guests who stayed with us in May stayed in our newly re-painted rooms. The smell could have been paint smell or varnish?? The sheets are washed everyday of course. For the wifi, as you might have noticed, we are in the rainy season.. and the weather does affect our connexion even if does not rain at the lodge but in the antenna area. Could you tell us the exact date of your stay so we can try to identify which room you occupied?? We do take very seriously the reviews of our guests.
