The Highlands

The Highlands is the perfect choice for a luxury holiday in Tanzania as it allows you to freely explore the protected area around the Ngorongoro Crater. The convenient location is complemented by a range of luxurious services, which earned the hotel a Tripadvisor Traveler's Choice award in 2020.

The Highlands is a boutique hotel that offers several contemporary-style suites. Although it is close to one of the biggest attractions in Tanzania, it was built in a secluded place, guaranteeing privacy and being a great idea for a holiday for two. This is a hotel where you can try unique dishes cooked with products from the Karatu region. The boutique hotel The Highlands is environmentally friendly - electricity is generated from solar energy.

While vacationing in Tanzania, guests can go on full-day safari trips and observe lions, elephants and giraffes that inhabit the 1 square kilometers of protected area around the crater. During lunchtime, picnics are organized in the shade of the trees.

In addition to visiting the Ngorongoro protected area, famous for its diversity of fauna and flora, guests can also go to the top of the Olmoti crater, from which there is an impressive view. The trail was marked where the Maasai once grazed cattle. The route leads through forested areas, savannah and rocky outcrops. It is from this crater that the Munge stream flows, which is the most important source of water in the region. Another option is to visit the salt lake region of the Empakaai crater, which is home to thousands of pink flamingos.

Tailor-made holidays in Tanzania are not only about nature, but also about culture, which is why trips to nearby towns are organized, where guests will learn about the culture of the Maasai. For example, they can participate in leading cattle to the boma, a traditional structure built around the camp.
