Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro
About Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro
Set on a working coffee estate at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Elewana The Manor is a gracious colonial-style farmhouse that feels like a private country estate transported to the African highlands. Sweeping lawns, a polo croquet pitch, and manicured gardens create a serene contrast to the raw wilderness just minutes away. The Manor offers some of Tanzania's finest dining — farm-to-table cuisine using produce grown on the estate. Activities include full-day excursions into the Ngorongoro Crater, horse-riding, high tea, plantation tours, and massage treatments. The crater itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's greatest wildlife spectacles — a self-contained ecosystem sheltering the Big Five.
Why we like it
The most elegant base from which to explore the Ngorongoro Crater — superb food, beautiful grounds, and full-day crater excursions with picnic lunches.
