After an early morning breakfast at the Embalakai Authentic Camp we traveled to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We descended 2,000 feet to the floor of the crater, which contains diverse ecosystems and a large concentration of birds and animals. After we did that we continued on to the Ngorongoro O’ldeani Mountain Lodge which was absolutely fabulous.

As noted on their website,

“A 5 star colonial lodge situated on a picturesque hill with spectacular views onto Oldeani Mountain and the Ngorongoro Crater Rim. The lodge is elevated with 360 degree views that extend all the way to Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara. The property is set on 40 acres of pristine lush green gardens and local vegetation with over 130 species of birds.”

Here are some photos of the property…
