Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is perched on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater at the eastern edge of the Serengeti in northern Tanzania. It lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which covers more than 8 000 square kilometres (3 100 square miles) of pristine African wilderness. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is without doubt one of the most architecturally spectacular safari lodges in Africa.
Conservation and Community Development Projects at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
New desks create a better learning environment
CC Africa and Africa Foundation recently supplied 40 new school desks to the Embarway Secondary School in the Embarway community near Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. There are over 800 learners currently attending this school, most coming from families that are unable to afford the $60 annual school fees. Resources at the school are severely limited, and the desk shortage meant that in some classes, 3 or 4 learners were sharing a desk designed for one student. The additional 40 desks have greatly improved the learning environment for these learners, and will certainly have a positive impact on their academic performance. A special thank you to everyone who has supported the Embarway Secondary School!
Conservation Lessons
Working closely with the Africa Foundation, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge rangers take groups of Maasai children on game drives into the Crater. This exposes them to the wonder of nature and is enhanced by lessons in environmental awareness and the value of ecotourism to local communities.
Positive Health
Working closely with the Africa Foundation, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge works with lodge staff and nearby communities to follow a Wellness programme geared towards developing and maintaining a healthy immune system. Diet, natural vitamins and minerals, and the cultivation of a positive attitude are among the key factors in fighting chronic illness including HIV/Aids.
