"The Ngorongoro Crater contains one of the world's greatest concentrations of wildlife (and Africa's highest concentration of lions) within its massive walls, making it one of the most enviable safari destinations on the entire continent. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge lets you wake up right in the midst of all that majesty, in one of 30 suites decked out with banana-leaf roofs, crystal chandeliers, and leather armchairs. Let the staff take you on game drives (complete with Swarovski binoculars) and meet-and-greets with the local Maasai and Hadzabe tribes before enjoying a holistic massage in your room, all capped off with a hot tea brought to your bed by a private butler. Think of it as Masai meets Versailles."

We've traveled all over the world and stayed at many nice places. We were only here for 1 quick night, but this place makes the top 5 nicest places. The room was simply amazing, with the best views. The staff were superb and the one meal we had was most delicious. I only wish we had more time here, they made our stay even more special with an arrival bubble bath ready and dinner flowers.||Special thanks to Saibel our waiter and room attendant. We will be back, and stay for several nights.

Absolutely unbelievable! Do not stay just one night here. We stayed at 6 beautiful lodges and hotels throughout our luxury stay in Tanzania and nothing compared to our stay here! The attention to detail and level of service is unparalleled. Our butter George was perfection.

I just spent 3 nights at this &beyond lodge. Was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail is next level and the lodge itself is very unique.|Upon arrival you are greeted by song and smiles. All of the staff seem genuinely happy for you to be there.|Our butler Msisi was a wonderful, friendly attentive person.||Our private guide was TEMU. He was I believe as good as it gets. Very knowledgeable, he knew exactly where to go for sightings. We would have breakfast with him down in the crater and share stories of our different cultures. He was an excellent driver and always made us feel safe and comfortable.|If you get the chance to stay here ASK FOR TEMU!||The Crater is beautiful and the wildlife is abundant. The &beyond Crater Lodge is special.

African palace in the bush . Truly outstanding place to stay . Service is exceptional . Food is like having fine dining in the middle of nowhere . Rooms are beyond 5 star standard . Game drives in Ngorongoro crate is still at its best . The experience must be as part of your bucket list

We chose &beyond after going to a travel trade show for Safari's. There are hundreds to choose from, but once we decided on &beyond, all other companies agreed that we had the best and no reason to look further. The location is perfect, the rooms and dining area are amazing, and the staff is first class all Round. Our guide, Keytoi, really impressed us with his knowledge of the animals and the timing to best see them. Never a rush. The best service, food, area, and staff!

The andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge offers stunning accommodations with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. However, the dining experience fell short, at lunch for picnic , where the food quality was very disappointing given the high price($3980 per night) point of the stay.

Amazing lodge! I can’t put into words how incredible and special this place is. One of the nicest hotels we have ever visited. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The entire staff was incredibly kind, hospitable, attentive and welcoming. In particular, our butler, Safari, enriched and augmented our experience every step of the way, always going above and beyond. In addition, the chef, Edgar, created a new delicious menu every day. All the food was amazing! The lodge itself is stunning, with truly breathtaking views as a backdrop. Our bedroom was beautiful and very spacious. The common areas were equally stunning, with amazing areas to unwind and relax after your game drive. It is the perfect location to explore the Crater. Highly recommend this wonderful lodge!

I can’t really think of enough good adjectives to describe this place and our guide Daniel. Really impressive resort with great food and service. Daniel was a great guide who helped us to see things we didn’t see on any other safari trip such as a kill. Also shoutout to Butler Dennis!
