"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."

Karatu Tented Lodge

Karatu Tented Lodge ★★★★

📍 Karatu, Karatu

"This is where we spent the night after spending the day at Ngorongoro Crater. Unlike the places we spent while on Safari, this accommodation was near a city and had power lines lol. That being said, the grounds were quite nice and well kept. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. While eating your dinner, the staff will ask for your permission to enter your room and place warm water packs in the beds to provide a nice, toasty feel for the cool nights. You will find a pretty postcard on the pillow of each bed. The staff also emphasize that their cleaning products are environmentally safe which was nice to hear. Very pretty decorations and would recommend to friends and family."

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge Hotels in Karatu

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge

"A polished, peaceful lodge that makes a perfect base for exploring the Ngorongoro area, with thoughtful service and facilities that help you relax between excursions. The setting in the Arusha region, famous for its dramatic landscapes, gives the property a quietly impressive sense of place. Highlights are immediate: a small spa for a restorative treatment, a pool positioned to take advantage of the views, and a sunny restaurant terrace where breakfasts and dinners feel intentionally relaxed. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, offering a calm retreat after a day in the parks, and guests consistently praise the warm, attentive staff. Practicalities are straightforward, the pace here invites leisurely mornings by the pool or an unhurried meal on the terrace. Whether you are passing through en route to the crater or staying to unwind, the lodge’s facilities make it easy to recharge. A highly recommended choice for anyone visiting the Ngorongoro region. One of the best comfortable, well run options you will find in the area."

"Our experience at Escarpment Luxury Lodge was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our Tanzanian adventure!

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."

STC.SAFARI LODGE ★★★
"Fantastic experience here at STC. The Sisters are super welcoming and warm, making sure everything is always good for their customers and providing everything we needed. Also our guide/driver during the safari was a real expert of the area and knew everything about animals behave in order to explain that to us while driving. He was always carefull on the road and made or experience the best. We really had the best time here, and recommend to other people to stay here as well!"
