Embark’s favorite new tented lodge for our Wildlife Safari in the Ngorongoro Crater is on the rim of the lush, dense Ngorongoro Crater shortly before reaching the Serengeti National Park. The Lhotia Valley Tented Lodge is doubly cool because it not only provides support to visiting adventurers, but also to its own community. Its “two hills, one goal” combines the Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge on one hill with the Rhotia Valley Children’s Home on the opposite hill. In their own words:

“At the lodge you can enjoy every comfort in a typical African atmosphere. With only 15 en-suite tented houses, it offers intimate charm and personal service. By staying at Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge, you directly contribute to the well-being of the children of the adjacent Children’s Home.”
