The Highlands

Tucked in tolush forest on the slopes of the Olmoti volcano, The Highlands is a striking luxury camp just an hour from Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Eight canvas-and-glass domed suites, inspired by traditional Maasai bomas, frame the wilderness through floor-to-ceiling windows, each with a private deck, en-suite bathroom and king bed; the honeymoon suite adds an outdoor hot tub. A cosy bar, well-stocked library and fireside lounge anchor the camp, where organic, gourmet meals are served. Beyond the famous crater floor, home to lion, elephant and rhino, guests hike to the rim of Olmoti, walk to Empakaai’s flamingo-filled soda lake, and share in the living traditions of the Maasai.
