“Lovely stay near Ngorongoro”

“Beautiful property right off the main road.”
+Escorts to and from the rooms. Plenty of food for dinner. Was a buffet which was great. We left quite early the next day so they boxed up our breakfast for us. Nice outdoor area for playing cards.
−No on site lodging for drivers.

“Eco friendly place to stay.”
+It is wonderful place to stay at. Staff are friendly people always looking to help you. They provide hot water bottles for the cold nights as the tents can be quite cold. Food is delicious and the bread is home made.
−You can hear the noise from the neighbouring tent, which is ok during the day, but not nice to wake you up.

“Entspannte. Atmosphäre”
+The tents are very big, tidy and you can close all sides and make it dark for the night. We had a mosquito net over our bed. The staff is very friendly. The food was delicious and a good choice for dinner and breakfast. Amazing. Yes, you can hear the traffic from the road a little. But not through the whole night and not really bad distributing.
−The tents are very close to each other. So it can be a little bit noisy if you have bad neighbours - like we had.

+Nice and cozy tent-style lodge, comfortable large kingsize bed, nice terrace, delicious food, good breakfast, nice pool, nice garden, super-warmhearted staff who does everything they can to make guests feel comfortable and satisfied (they even were singing and making music twice)! I will be back for sure!
−Lodges right next to the main road, so you hear the traffic during daytime. But since normally you'll be somewhere on safari or whatever till late afternoon, it's not a problem anyway... 😌

+Supremely clean, extremely well- appointed rooms/tents, the food was superb and the staff beyond friendy and professional! Specifically wanted to mention nBaraka who helped us with rental car issues and advocated for us constantly. Also he was instrumental in helping us get our permits for Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge. As well, Mariam was the kindest person- always greeting us with a smile and going out of her way to help us with any need. The cuisine was five star! Throughout our stay, we were treated like family! Would absolutely recommend the lodge with it hesitation!!

“Voortreffelijk”
+De ligging is goed voor vervoer met een auto, de accommodatie is mooie, goed onderhouden en schoon. Het eten was echt bijzonder goed.
−Als je in de nacht geen auto’s wil horen (voor ons niet hinderlijk) dan is een accommodatie verder van de weg beter. Echter moet je dan wel tekens over onverharde wegen rijden naar je accommodatie. Dan vinden wij niet fijn en neem veel tijd.
