At Olduvai Gorge, view the famous prehistoric site where Mary Leakey

The lodge is located on Lemala Hill on the uppermost, eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, in the volcanic highlands of northern Tanzania. The crater forms part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area that covers 3,200 sq. miles. This World Heritage Site has been set aside to preserve and integrate the diverse values and interests of wildlife, local people, archaeology, flora, tourism and the area's environment and ecology. The Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is, and will remain as, the only tourist development on the eastern rim of the crater and thus offers you unique and spectacular views down into the crater floor and of the sunsets over the western horizon.

A swimming pool is situated on the very edge of the crater and the water is invigorating, and is a perfect area to unwind and relax while enjoying the views of the crater floor below or of the sunsets in the evenings.
