When looking for accommodation around the crater, there are a variety of options to choose from depending on what you’re looking for. It is not possible to stay within the crater itself, but one of the most sought-after experiences is staying along the rim of the crater. As you can imagine, these lodges offer unparalleled views right from your doorstep. Another benefit of staying along the rim is that it allows you quick access to the crater floor for early morning game drives, giving you a head start on photographing in that magical morning glow.
