Big news is on the horizon for safari lovers and luxury travel seekers — The Wilderness Collection is expanding! Come July 2025, the stunning Warangi Ridge Lodge will open its doors in Serengeti National Park, offering an unforgettable new experience that perfectly complements its sister property, Crater’s Edge in Ngorongoro.
A Safari Sanctuary Among the Granite Cliffs
Perched atop a dramatic granite ridge and surrounded by iconic Serengeti scenery — sweeping grasslands, ancient kopjes, and acacia-dotted vistas — Warangi Ridge Lodge promises breathtaking views and immersive wildlife encounters. Thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape, the lodge offers a true sanctuary in the wild.
Guests will enjoy a full suite of upscale amenities, including:
- A library, lounge bar, and restaurant
- A yoga deck, open-air gym, and a tranquil spa
- A show-stopping infinity pool tucked between the trees
This retreat features fifteen luxurious tented suites, each with a private deck and plunge pool, designed with inspiration from the landscape — and a tribute to the endangered pangolin that inhabits the area. Expect elegant interiors with king-sized beds, freestanding bathtubs, and outdoor showers. Families will feel right at home too, with two two-bedroom family suites available.
In the Heart of the Wild
Located within an incredibly diverse wildlife corridor, Warangi Ridge places guests right in the path of the Great Migration — meaning extraordinary predator-prey encounters are almost guaranteed. Lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and great herds of zebras and wildebeest are all part of the daily drama here.
But it’s not just about the safari. Warangi Ridge is deeply committed to conservation. The lodge is actively involved in protecting the endangered pangolin, contributes to the Serengeti Cheetah Project, and supports ecological monitoring within the TANAPA Research Area.
Activities on offer include:
- Day and night game drives
- Guided river walks along the Orangi River
- Birding excursions and eco-nature walks
- An engaging children’s programme for ages 5–15
Just 41km from the Seronera airstrip, the lodge is both accessible and remote — a rare combination that makes it poised to become the Serengeti’s next must-stay destination.
The Perfect Pairing: Crater’s Edge
Only a scenic journey away, Crater’s Edge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater offers a dramatically different — yet equally captivating — safari setting. With panoramic views and fewer crowds, this exclusive lodge is situated on the quieter northeastern rim within the park, offering direct access to one of the most unique ecosystems in the world.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera. With a thriving population of wildlife — including all of the Big Five — and a surreal, otherworldly landscape, it’s no wonder Crater’s Edge has quickly become a standout destination in Tanzania.
