Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

📍 Mto wa Mbu Escarpment, Karatu
★★★★ 9.0 (48 reviews)

"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."

"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.

"We stayed at Omega View Hotel as part of our safari, and it was a perfect stop before and after Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The hotel is clean, peaceful, and well-located, with great service and good food. The swimming pool and bar area were a nice place to relax after long drives. What made our stay truly memorable was the special honeymoon surprise the staff prepared for us — a beautiful and thoughtful gesture that made us feel so welcome and appreciated. The hospitality was warm and genuine. We would absolutely recommend Omega View Hotel to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable stay near Ngorongoro with personal touches that make a difference."

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge Hotels in Karatu

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge

"We are a family of 3 and we stayed at this beautiful lodge 2 times during our Northern Circuit Safari. Both times were excellent - we were looked after and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. Special mention to Nobert, Mwinyi, and Gift who made our stay extra memorable. Christopher, the manager, was approachable too. The suite was very cozy and large with a nice forest view. The Maasai also toured us around the property where we saw the Maasai Boma and the property’s farm. It was amazing to see some buffalos around the property as well! The food was excellent with various choices. They accomodated our requests well. It was a special moment when the whole staff celebrated our 10yrs wedding anniversary by singing and dancing. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and we will miss the friendly staff of Neptune Ngorongoro!"

Patamu Restaurant & Lodge ★★
"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"
