Overview
Asilia Africa’s award-winning boutique safari camp, The Highlands, is an architectural marvel perched on the edge of the Olmoti Crater forest. Offering a rich and exclusive Ngorongoro safari experience, this unique camp blends cutting-edge design with natural beauty for an unforgettable stay.
Despite its secluded setting, The Highlands is just an hour from the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can witness lion, elephant, rhino, and more on thrilling game drives. Beyond the crater floor safari, guests can hike to the top of Olmoti for panoramic views, descend to Empakaai Crater’s soda lake to see thousands of flamingos, or enjoy meaningful cultural interactions with the Maasai community.
A true boutique safari lodge in Ngorongoro, The Highlands features eight distinctive domed suites crafted from canvas and perspex, surrounded by lush forest and sweeping volcanic landscapes. Each romantic suite includes an en suite bathroom with hot running water and showers, while the honeymoon suite offers a private outdoor hot tub. Families are also well catered for with an interconnected suite designed for adults with children.
