Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
About Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
Positioned on the eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge provides sweeping views over the expansive caldera floor. The lodge features large, circular suites and spacious public areas that accommodate groups well. The landscape is lush and misty, characteristic of the highland forest belt surrounding the crater. As the only lodge on the eastern rim, it offers a slightly different perspective of the sunset and sunrise over the floor. The service is professional and geared toward the efficient management of crater safaris. Guests appreciate the lodge as a practical base for exploring the highlands and making the descent into the crater. It is a well-established property that provides reliable comfort and a consistent experience for visitors traversing the Northern Circuit.
Why we like it
Being situated on the eastern rim offers a quieter, more unique sunrise experience compared to the busier locations along the caldera edge.
