OVERVIEW
What do you get when you mix unchanged Africa with the latest tent technology? The Highlands – a lodge comprising futuristic geodesic domes that reflect the shape of traditional Maasai huts. Perched among the forested slopes of Olmoti Volcano (don’t worry – it’s totally dormant), The Highlands is unique in Tanzania.
Its cosy rooms are remote enough to discover secret gems like the soda lake at Empakaai or the summit of Olmoti Crater itself but still within striking distance of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most rewarding game-viewing destinations on the planet. At the end of the day, whether you’ve hiked, birded or game-watched, pour a drink in the whiskey tent and toast a wonderful adventure in this under-explored part of Tanzania.
