The Highlands
  • Designer chic dome-shaped safari tents offer a unique and modern take on a safari camp

  • Located on the unspoilt Olmoti volcano, north of the Ngorongoro Crater

  • High design meets low impact on the environment

  • Totally unique experiences on offer - walk ancient Maasai trails near Olmoti, descend into the Empakai crater floor on foot, lunch with a lion researcher and authentic Maasai cultural visits


The Highlands offers a new experience in the Ngorongoro region, combining luxurious accommodation and access to some of the lesser known volcanic craters north of Ngorongoro on age-old Maasai walking trails. Tucked into the forest for maximum privacy, this low impact, high design camp has just eight chic dome-shaped tents with a mix of glass and canvas, beautiful wooden floors and wood-burning stoves to keep them toasty and warm even on the cool high altitude evenings. Creature comforts abound, with cosy sheepskin rugs, woollen blankets and even wifi in the rooms.

Take walks with Maasai guides to a sundowner or picnic spot on the Olmoti crater, or descend into the beautiful Empakai crater to get up close to flocks of flamingos. Have lunch with a lion researcher, and visit local Maasai communities to learn about their rich culture. And of course no stay would be complete without a game-drive in the Ngorongoro crater itself with Asilia's expert safari guides.

The main areas continue the dome-shaped architectural design, with a cosy lounge with chairs centered around a large wood burning stove, a cosy whiskey bar and an intimate dining room with wood-panelled walls.
