Introduction

Reminiscent of a country farm and boasting quaint Cape Dutch-style architecture, The Manor at Ngorongoro Crater lies within the Shangri-La estate, surrounded by lush gardens. Harking back in time to a grander age, the ten luxurious family friendly cottages blend East African hospitality with colonial European architecture and décor. Intimate and private, the cottages boast ensuite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor fireplaces and private decks that maximise the magnificent views.

Meals are sumptuous affairs to be savoured in the formal dining room, the dining conservatory or privately in the guest cottages. African-inspired fare is complemented by a selection of fine wine from the manor’s own cellar. Guests can relax and unwind in the sauna and steam room, try their hand in the snooker room or read one of the many books from the library whilst lounging in front of a cosy fireplace, a great place for the family to play board games. Fun family adventures include excursions to Lake Manyara and Olduvai Gorge, visits to a Masai Market, guided estate walks and leisurely bicycle trails along the Ngorongoro Crater.

Accommodation

Each of the nine cottages at The Manor at Ngorongoro is divided into two guest suites, making a total of 18 double rooms. All rooms have their own courtyard, deck, en suite bathroom, a sitting area, an indoor fireplace and an outdoor firepit. They are all beautifully appointed with plush period-style furniture and finishes, provide exceptional views of the landscape and are strategically positioned for ultimate privacy and seclusion.

The Stable Cottage has three separate en suite bedroom, a large family lounge and TV room, making it ideal for families travelling with children or small groups.
