Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge

Rhino Lodge is a simple, well-priced lodge in the forest on the eastern side of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, within easy reach of the crater access road. It works well for travellers who want an early start on the Ngorongoro Crater game-drive day.

The rooms are comfortable and unfussy, each self-contained with a private bathroom and hot shower, warmed by a wood stove at night. Facilities are practical, with a restaurant and bar and communal campfires rather than luxury extras.

Stays are usually full-board, with meals served in the dining room. It is one of the more affordable options in the conservation area, suited to travellers who value location and value for money.
