Where in Africa shall we go?

A Unique Sanctuary on the Slopes of Olmoti Crater
Perched on the lush slopes of the Olmoti Crater, The Highlands redefines the luxury safari experience with its innovative design and unparalleled exclusivity. This award-winning boutique camp offers discerning guests an intimate connection to Tanzania's unspoiled landscapes, far removed from the typical tourist trails.

The camp features eight geodesic domed suites, artfully constructed from canvas and perspex, each thoughtfully positioned to provide sweeping vistas of the surrounding highlands and distant volcanic peaks. Inside, guests are enveloped in warmth and comfort, with en suite bathrooms boasting hot running water and invigorating showers. Wood-burning stoves ensure cozy evenings, while floor-to-ceiling windows allow uninterrupted views of the spectacular scenery. For families, an interconnected suite ensures ample space, while honeymooners can luxuriate in a private outdoor hot tub under the vast African sky.

Culinary excellence is a hallmark of The Highlands. The on-site chefs craft exquisite dishes using locally sourced ingredients, offering a gastronomic journey that reflects the rich flavors of the region. Guests can savor their meals in the elegant dining area or opt for private in-suite dining, all complemented by a curated selection of fine wines and spirits. After dinner, unwind by the central fireplace with a handcrafted cocktail, indulging in the tranquility of the wilderness.

Beyond relaxation, The Highlands provides a gateway to a plethora of exclusive experiences. Embark on guided treks to the summit of Olmoti Crater for breathtaking panoramas, or descend into the Empakaai Crater to witness the mesmerizing sight of thousands of flamingos gracing the soda lake. Cultural enthusiasts will find profound enrichment through immersive visits to nearby Maasai communities, gaining insight into their enduring traditions and way of life. For those seeking an extraordinary safari, game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater offer encounters with the Big Five in one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife havens.
