Laba Ngorongoro Crater will open its doors on February 15. Built on the historic site of the former Rhino Lodge, the oldest lodge on the crater, it enjoys an extraordinary location just steps from the Rim and closest to the park entrance. From here, the views stretch across lush forest to the Oldeani and Makarot mountains.

As a tribute to the lodge’s heritage, the original curator’s house has been lovingly preserved. Once home to Henry Albert Fosbrooke (1905–1996), the region’s first ecologist and the driving force behind the creation of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and its UNESCO status, this symbolic residence will now hold our reception, bar-lounge and boutique.
