Patamu Restaurant & Lodge

Patamu Restaurant & Lodge

📍 sumawe, Karatu
★★ 8.8 (7 reviews)

"Our stay at Patamu Restaurant Lodge & Safaris was good overall and worked very well as a convenient stopover before continuing on to the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. The hotel is well located for travelers heading toward the national parks and is a practical place to rest before longer safari days. The staff were very attentive and always helpful throughout our stay. The food was very good, with a nice selection of freshly prepared dishes. It was also interesting to see that local residents come here to eat and that tour guides often use the hotel for overnight stays, which gives the place a lively and authentic atmosphere. We booked a one-day Ngorongoro Crater safari directly through the hotel, and it was a very nice experience. Everything was well organized, and we enjoyed the day very much. It is definitely worth asking about safari options when making your reservation, as booking directly through the hotel can be convenient. Overall, a solid and comfortable choice for a stopover on the way to Ngorongoro"

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★
"The staff were friendly and accommodating. The pictures in the brochure don't do this place justice. The drive to it was a bit far off the main road but fun to see the local farms. The view is amazing, looking over both valleys. The rooms overlook sunset across the valley and you can sit in comfortable chairs on your own balcony to watch. The pool was refreshing. Highly recommend a visit for relaxation after a long day."

Patamu Restaurant & Lodge ★★
"It's a little off the center of Karatu, so you can stay calm. The staff was friendly and packed breakfast in the box because I had to leave the hotel early on the day of check-out."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"This place is a signature chain of lodges in East africa and you have to stay there at least once because the rooms are the same at every park. The staff is lovely adn friendly, the rooms are a bit old fashion but still has the safari feeling, the garden is tidy and very well manicured, the view is to die for (The Rift Valley and Lake Manyara National Park). The restaurant is extremely classy and food is abundant and different types of food for everyone. My clients were unhappy andd grumpy because of some other issues about the safari. The manager even came to me and asked what he can do about it. It iss very sweet that he noticed the situation."

Turaco Ngorongoro Valley, a Tribute Portfolio Lodge ★★★★★
"What a fantastic hotel! The location was awesome. Very tranquil and finished well. The staff were amazing and very helpful. From building us personal fires round the fire pit to Kelvin taking us on an Elephant Hike and amazing service around the pool. The food was exceptional also with the chef coming out and talking us through the food most meals. They even surprised us with a cake as we were celebrating our honeymoon. Incredible place and would highly recommend."
