Sketch map of Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area

Note the access roads to the crater: how vehicles get up and down the crater’s steep sides. There is one to the east, starting near the Sopa Lodge; one to the east; and a third to the south. The thicker semi-circular road around the southern side of the Crater (marked red) is the main crater rim road.
Click here for much more information about each of the lodges there:
– the top-notch Crater Lodge, with its offbeat architecture and vast price tag
– the new and rudimentary, Masaai-owned Rhino Lodge,
And the three larger hotels which also stand on the Crater’s rim:
– the 97-room Sopa Lodge
– the 75-room Wildlife Lodge,
– the 75-room Serena Hotel,
