Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★

📍 JJ78+9W, Karatu

"Location is nice, especially the swimming pool area. Personnel is friendly. Internet is horrible, almost not working in the common areas and zero in the room. Food buffet is very poor with zero choices. It's more than 1 hour from Ngorongoro Crater."

Omega View Hotel & Resort
9.6 (9 reviews)

Omega View Hotel & Resort ★★★★

📍 Bwawani Primary School Street, Karatu

"With our Safari tour we arrived around 4 pm. The staff is very friendly and the food is nice. Unfortunately the room smelled, was not clean and at night there was a lot of noice. The rooms aren’t isolated properly so you could hear the people from the kitchen above us (We slept on the 3rd floor and the restaurant is at the 4th floor). We wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge
9.0 (48 reviews)

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Mto wa Mbu Escarpment, Karatu

"This was the our last hotel on our sixteen day safari. The hotel has a great setting with a picturesque view over Lake Manyara. The rooms, although not large, have a nice ambience and are very comfortable. The staff were courteous and helpful. The food was good with decent variety, especially the breakfast. Although we didn't use the pool, it is set on the cliff for a great view of the lake. There was some good local entertainment around the pool that sounded almost Celtic, which we enjoyed. The only negative thing was that we were shortchanged at checkout. It wasn' much, but when I brought it to the ladies attention she just shrugged me off. I felt the amount wasn't worth a scene, but it did leave a sour feeling to an anotherwise good stay. The park itself was anticlimatic in regards to game viewing after our other park experiences. It would be O.K. as a first stop but not last. It is difficult to see much because of the forest and one is to far away from the waters edge to see anything, Even the hippo pond requires field glasses. I must say though we were very lucky. While we were driving to leave we came across some tree lions. Our guide was quite surprised as he hadn't seen any there in three years and thought they had all been killed off when they ventured out of the park. So it did make for a great end to our trip"

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★
"The lodge is a good location with spacious rooms. We stayed triple occupancy for 2 nights. However the food choice especially dinner and lunch box were not tasty and we barely ate. No wifi in the rooms. Issues with hot water pressure and drainage of water in the shower. Staff is pleasant."

Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge ★★★
"The staff here are very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and they had hot milk as opposed to just powdered milk. The shower had hot water and good pressure. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. This was one of my favorite places that I stayed at during my 3 weeks in Tanzania."

Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Campsite ★★★★
"This was my favorite of all the lodges we stayed at. It is located just outside the Ngorongoro Crater, with beautiful rooms, peaceful and well-manicured grounds, and a staff that is exceptionally friendly and attentive. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We also had the chance to meet the owners, Fiona and Marco, who are remarkable people. Her story has truly inspired us to do more to help. I highly recommend this lodge not only for its beauty and comfort but also for the meaningful work they do for the community.."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"The hotel is lovely as well as the view of the pool and the lake from my room. The best part for me was the Serena Experience Journey 2 hour scrub, massage, and facial at the spa with Christina! Exceptional and well priced. Nice to have a little luxury after a few weeks in the bush!"
