Airport

The most convenient access is via the airstrip at Lake Manyara Airstrip (though there will still be a drive of ~2.5‑3 hours to the camp).

The Highlands Camp is a luxury, boutique tented‑suite property perched high on the slopes of the Olmoti Crater within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. The camp offers eight domed suites of canvas and glass—each with panoramic views of rolling hills, forested slopes and distant plains. Guests can enjoy a combination of high‑style accommodation with immersive nature experiences like crater drives, forest walks and volcano rim hikes.
