Africa Safari Karatu
8.1 (46 reviews)

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★

📍 JJ78+9W, 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."

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."

Karatu Tented Lodge
9.2 (44 reviews)

Karatu Tented Lodge ★★★★

📍 Karatu, Karatu

"Great accommodation on the way to Ngorongoro! We stayed here for one night. We liked especially the dinner and great service. They even put a hot water bottle in our bed, so that we didn’t get cold during the night."

Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge
9.6 (3 reviews)

Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge ★★★

📍 Baashai, Karatu

"Very kind staff. They help you with everything and give you good information about the parks etc. We enjoyed the stay. As a breakfast you get proper meal almost for the whole day. The food ist good. There is bar where you can take a beer. It is close to the ngorongoro crater."

Peak Hotel
8.4 (14 reviews)

Peak Hotel ★★★

📍 B144, Karatu

"Having complained about the state of the first hotel we were given we were moved to the Peak hotel. To say it was superb is probably an understatement, it was brilliant. Would recommend for a stop over base hotel if touring Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. It could also serve as a breaking point if visiting the Serengeti. Will be back again and again."

9.6 (41 reviews)

Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Campsite ★★★★

📍 Karatu, Karatu

"Stunning safari tents, very comfortable, clean and modern. Loved the outdoor shower. Best sleep I had all holiday! Staff very friendly and helpful - food was amazing, and customer service excellent. Pool was nice but could do with more sunbeds after a day safari."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge
9.0 (48 reviews)

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Mto wa Mbu Escarpment, Karatu

"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!"

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★
"Stayed here for 1 night. Had two connecting rooms. There was construction going on and construction staff was working right outside the balcony and we didn't feel the privacy. This was our 3rd accommodation on our safari and were sort of disappointed with the hospitality, food. Rooms are clean, big. Shower is excellent, doesn't have exhaust so can get very foggy due to steam. There is no Wifi in room and cellular service is spotty. If you need any help from hotel staff /reception there is no telephone in the room or numbers provided in case of emergency. Only way is to run to the reception, which can be up the hill depending on where room is located. Food was average, we ate mostly the buffet ( had good vegetarian options) Service was bit slow. Its about 1-1.5 hour from the Ngorongoro crater. Road to the lodge is dusty and bumpy. If you are planning to travel with people having mobility issues, plan ahead. The restaurant, pool and reception are up on the up hill. We didn't see any golf carts to help with transportation. Views are great, was able to enjoy the sunset. Pool is outdoors we didn't use it. Hotel was very busy due to high tourist season."

"Great hotel to stay overnight duribg Safari trip. Rooms are big and clean, beds are comfortable, tasty food, staff was very helpful. Kids were very happy with the nice swimming pool. I recommend rooms on pool side of the hotel because it is more quiet."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"We only popped in to this lovely lodge for lunch on our way to Ngorongoro crater. I wished we had booked a couple of nights here as the lodge is in a beautiful location overlooking lake Manyara. There are wonderful gardens and a very peaceful atmosphere. The lunch was delicious and the staff were very friendly"
