Turaco Ngorongoro Valley, a Tribute Portfolio Lodge ★★★★★

📍 and 7, Plot No 1, Tloma, Ganko, Karatu

"I spent three days at this hotel, located in a quiet spot that allowed me to delve even deeper into local life. The gardens were beautifully maintained, and the rooms were incredibly comfortable. I was able to relax while listening to the birds singing. It also offers excellent access to the Ngorongoro Safari, with the gate just about 30 minutes away. While hotels on the crater rim are nice, here you’re surrounded by a completely different kind of tranquility. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious—so much so that I almost forgot I was in Africa. When I mentioned I’d like to try the local banana soup, they kindly added it to the next day’s menu, which made me very happy. There’s also a large farm on the grounds, and all the vegetables are grown on-site. The staff were all kind and always attentive. Neema put me at ease from the moment I arrived and was a reassuring presence. I’m very grateful to Frederick for arranging a safari tour tailored to my requests. I definitely hope to visit here again."

"My family and I stayed here for 2 nights. We had an amazing experience. The hotel is safe and clean, the views are incredible, and the service was great. We especially loved the entertainment. An acrobatics group performed for our group and they were incredible! I was a cheerleader for the Utah Jazz and these guys were professionals. They even let me do some stunts with them. I highly recommend this hotel for a great experience."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Mto wa Mbu Escarpment, Karatu

"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 😊"

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★
"Beautiful hotel run by a lovely couple. The food was so good. Views breathtaking. We enjoyed their new lounge and could hang there every night if we stayed longer! Two pool areas both lovely though we did not have the time to enjoy it. The rooms are very clean. Bathrooms have great water pressure and hot water on demand. Our room had a nice balcony as well. Would highly recommend."

Turaco Ngorongoro Valley, a Tribute Portfolio Lodge ★★★★★
"I stayed at this lodge in Karatu during my solo trip, and it was beautiful. The grounds are full of green gardens, and the outdoor pool was a great place to rest after a long day. My room was spotless, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The absolute best part was the incredible staff. Everyone went completely out of their way to make me feel safe, looked after, and welcome as a solo traveler. If you want a quiet, comfortable place to stay near the Ngorongoro Crater with an amazing team taking care of you, this is it."

Karatu Tented Lodge ★★★★
"This is a very nice place. Comfortable and inviting. Service and food was excellent. We stayed here as a stopover between Serengeti and Arusha. About 1 hour to Ngorongoro gate or 2 hours to Arusha airport on very good paved roads. Felt more like cottages than tents."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"11 of were booked into the Serena for one night. All very good and a beautiful setting above the lake. Huge buffet for food that would suit most people very well and did us proud. Lovely well trained staff who were able to change dollars for local shillings which was very useful. A good choice and everybody in our large group enjoyed it"

Peak Hotel ★★★
"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."
