The Wilderness
Collection
Three lodges • Two horizons • One unbroken caldera
We started The Wilderness Collection because we felt the great safari lodges had grown loud. So we built the opposite: small houses, few rooms, long views, and staff who'd rather know your name than your room number.

The Crater
The Crater
A bowl carved by a collapsed volcano
Two to three million years ago a great volcano erupted, emptied, and fell in on itself — leaving behind a near-perfect bowl some sixteen kilometres across and six hundred metres deep. What remains is the largest unbroken, inactive caldera anywhere in the world: a self-contained world of grassland, forest, soda lake and spring, ringed by walls that hold its weather and its wildlife in place.
The Second Horizon
The Second Horizon
And the open Serengeti
A day's journey west, the highlands give way to the endless plains of the Central Serengeti — and to our second lodge, Warangi Ridge. Where the crater encloses, the Serengeti opens: fifteen tented suites on a low ridge, uninterrupted grassland to every horizon, and game on the move throughout the year. Two landscapes, two ways to wake up, one collection.
