Asilia's The Highlands at Ngorongoro, Tanzania Asilia's newest East African camp will have a spectacular location nearly 9,000 feet high on the slopes of the Olmoti volcano, far from any other lodge but close enough to the Ngorongoro crater for guests to be there at dawn and there will be a stunning and contemporary design to match. The eight tented suites will take the shape of geodesic domes, with massive windows and wood- burning stoves for the chilly savanna nights. The activities will go far beyond the standard crater circuit to include half- and full-day hikes, community visits and spectacular stargazing. (From $710 per person, asiliaafrica.com)
