★★★★★ 9.6 (45 reviews)

"It’s perfect. Mellow, lovely, amazing food, incredible staff. I have stayed all over the world in lovely and fantastic hotels and this may be my favorite. My special thanks go to Elia and Nobert for going out of their way to make our time extra special with popcorn and local food and lots of hot chocolate. This hotel is special and should be at the top of everyone’s Tanzania bucket list."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

📍 Lake Manyara National Park, Karatu
★★★★ 8.9 (45 reviews)

"I recently stayed at this beautiful lodge, and it was an amazing experience. The property is in a quiet area, and each spacious bungalow has fantastic views—perfect for enjoying nature from your room. The design mixes luxury with a cozy, rustic feel. One of the best features is the lovely infinity pool, which looks out over the landscape. The water was a bit cold during my visit, but it was refreshing and added to the peaceful atmosphere. Next to the pool is a nice bar, a great spot to relax with a drink as the sun sets. Evenings are special here. Guests enjoy wonderful performances by Maasai acrobats and dancers by the poolside. An experience that is exciting and touching."

"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."

Africa Safari Karatu

Africa Safari Karatu

📍 JJ7C+FW3, Karatu
★★★ 8.2 (46 reviews)

"This place was a total let-down, man. We got there late after lunch, starving from the long drive from Tarangire. The managers even tried to make us pay for lunch, even though we had already paid for full board. The rooms were horrible, like we were in prison or something. They didn't even bother to clean them every day. And the chefs in the kitchen were so loud, we could hear them in our room. The waiters were super lazy, always on their phones and never coming to help unless we called them. The manager was just as bad, didn't seem to care about any of the problems. And the breakfast was disgusting, like they made pancakes once a week and used them for the whole seven days. The food was just plain bad. We expected so much more, but I would never recommend this place to anyone."

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge ★★★★★
"The property is amazing, unbelievable attention to details, everything is very stylish and beautiful. Had one of the best dinners in our life, our server Nobert went absolutely far and beyond and elevated our experience even further. In Canada even in the most fancy places service is not even close."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"We loved this hotel. My only complaint is that we only got to stay for one night on the first night of our safari. On arrival we were met with towels and a fruit juice. The rooms were lovely and we had an extra surprise in ours. The hotel had been made aware it was our honeymoon and they left us a delicious cake in the room on arrival. The room itself was clean and lovely. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The views from the hotel were beautiful. I wish we'd had more time to enjoy it! Shannon and Colin from Scotland 😊"

Turaco Ngorongoro Valley, a Tribute Portfolio Lodge ★★★★★
"My stay at Turaco Ngorongo Valley was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the warmth of the hospitality and attention to detail set the tone for a truly memorable experience. The rooms are absolutely outstanding—spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably clean. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, blending comfort with a touch of luxury. Waking up to the serene surroundings was a highlight in itself. The spa treatments were simply world-class. The atmosphere is calming and rejuvenating, and the therapists are excellent. It was the perfect place to unwind and fully relax after a day of safari. The food deserves special mention—delicious, fresh, and expertly prepared. Every meal felt like a fine dining experience, with a great variety of options and excellent presentation. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. Overall, Turaco Ngorongo Valley exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, comfort, or a touch of luxury in nature, this place delivers on every level. I would highly recommend it and can’t wait to return back with my family."

"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."

Escarpment Luxury Lodge Manyara ★★★★
"Our stay at Escarpment Luxury Lodge Manyara was an unforgettable experience from the moment we arrived. Before we even stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed by Maasai hosts who greeted us in song. They invited us to join in the celebration, placing a traditional necklace and hat on me as part of the welcome. It was such a special and personal introduction that immediately made us feel honored and immersed in the local culture. Once inside, the lodge exceeded every expectation. The accommodations were beautifully designed and incredibly luxurious. One of the highlights was the bathtub with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape—such a peaceful and memorable way to relax after a day of travel. Dinner that evening was delicious, and the staff’s hospitality continued the next morning when they thoughtfully prepared a wonderful lunch box for us to take on our safari the following day. It was packed perfectly and made our early start even more enjoyable. Another unique touch was the Maasai escorts who walked us to and from our room at night to ensure our safety due to the wildlife in the area. It added both peace of mind and another authentic element to the experience. Everything about our stay—from the warm cultural welcome to the luxurious comfort and attentive service—made it truly exceptional. I would highly recommend Escarpment Luxury Lodge Manyara to anyone visiting the area. It was an amazing experience we will never forget."
