The Manor at Ngorongoro, with its 10 luxurious cottages (20 Suites) and magnificent main Manor House, is one of the first safari lodges of its kind to blend East African hospitality with old-world Afro-European architecture and decor. Located adjacent to the famous Ngorongoro conservation area and within a 1500-acre Arabica coffee estate, The Manor is reminiscent of an elegant up-country farm home in the Cape Dutch-style of architecture.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area was created as a separate entity from the Serengeti to protect the Masai herdsmen. Initially, the Masai were ejected from their traditional pasturelands in the Ngorongoro Area to protect the wildlife. However, after many deliberations, the masai's ancestral grazing rights were restored but in return they had to forfeit their right to graze their cattle in the Serengeti National Park. This compromise seems to be a success as we are now able to observe an enormous variety of wildlife against the backdrop of some spectacular landscapes.
