Wedding in NGORONGORO

A once-in-a-lifetime event calls for a once-in-a-lifetime setting, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage destination referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World, is a location unlike any other in Tanzania and perhaps the world. An enchanting river stone-built lodge seemingly fastened to the Crater rim by native vines, Ngorongoro offers breath-taking views in every direction.

With a mesmerising expanse of plains, forests and lakes extending as far as the eye can see, the lodge is surrounded by prehistoric stillness and landscapes. Arched stone passages and timbered decks, walls adorned with cave paintings and lit by flickering torches, and an eternally lit fireplace offer a romantic backdrop for your wedding and honeymoon in Tanzania.

From English breakfasts and sundowner cocktails at the Crater’s edge to game drives across the Crater floor and evening receptions with authentic Maasai music and dance performances, your gathering will be distinguished by unforgettable moments. Exchange vows on a stone terrace with dramatic views. Host a sunset cocktail party on the lawn or celebrate your reception in the safari-style tent overlooking the Crater.

Whatever your vision, our wedding planner will help you design an event that exceeds all expectations.
