The Highlands: Travel + Leisure – It List 2017

“Every year,Travel + Leisure’s editors look at thousands of hotel openings and renovations around the globe with one mission in mind: what properties will truly be game changers for our readers.” – Travel + Leisure

The Highlands is carefully positioned for maximum privacy. Set high on the slopes of the Olmoti volcano, our guests enjoy sweeping views all the way to the Serengeti.

The Highlands is said to have redefined the Ngorongoro Crater experience entirely – the camp is set high on the edge of the mountain forest that hugs the Olmoti volcano towards the north of the Ngorongoro Crater. The unique dome design is unlike anything else in the area and the accommodation strikes the perfect balance between an exceptional safari experience with a high-end and stylish escape.

“It’s the first camp near the northern gate of the Ngorongoro Crater, so while most visitors queue at the southern end in the early morning, Asilia guests can sleep in, then take a leisurely descent to the crater floor.” – Travel + Leisure

Warm, intimate and contemporary, this is quite simply the perfect place from which to discover the wild and pristine Crater Highlands.
