Africa Safari Lake Natron
8.8 (43 reviews)

Africa Safari Lake Natron ★★★★

📍 Lake Natron, Ngorongoro

"Great place to stay at Lake Natron but could be improved to be excellent. The views of the lake and the grounds were all incredible. Lovely natural type pool to cool off as the area is very. Room (stone building) was spacious but simple. The staff were lovely and always happy to help. Unfortunately our shower literally dribbled out which made showing impossible. Also the wifi is atrocious and only works in the main area, but even then it hardly works unless you are 1 m from the office. Apparently they just use a staff members phone as a hotspot… we weren’t there to be on our phones but even just to message family would have been nice! The most questionable point was charging for water with meals. It seems a bit ridiculous to charge for a basic thing like that when you are paying for a room and meals in your fee. This was the only place we stayed in our 3 week trip that charged for plain water… Finally, for other reviews complaining about bugs… that’s nature, you are literally in the middle of Africa and it’s all part of the experience! The bugs don’t hurt you, just tiny little flies attracted to the light."

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Ngorongoro Crater Conservancy, Ngorongoro Crater Conservancy, Ngorongoro

"Location in the park that allowed you to leave just before 6 to arrive at 6 at inner gate. Rooms were very nice. View view from rooms were great."

Lake Natron Tented Camp
7.4 (145 reviews)

Lake Natron Tented Camp ★★★

📍 Lake Natron National Park, Ngorongoro

"Great: location, with views on the lake and mountains and 20-30 mins walk from a small village. Also nice garden and setup of the tents, with good bathroom. Also excellent WiFi solely in the restaurant area. Natural water pool, refreshed regularly from the river that runs through the area, is cute; warm water, and don't worry about the slippery bottom as that is the consequence of the rocky material. Points to improve: wiring in the room (exactly 1 outlet which is shaky and even needs an adapter for their own fan), and the set menus of the restaurant. A bit too boring and oily."

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Karatu

The staff were outstanding—especially Norbert, who was always on hand for anything we needed; John, who arranged a wonderful private dinner for my wife and me; and our driver, Samuel, who took great care of us"

"The views, accommodation, food, everything was amazing at this hotel! We stayed here for one night during our honeymoon, and we really enjoyed it. The infinity pool that overlooked the crater was a highlight."

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★★
"The hotel is really nice! It is pretty, modern for Tanzania standards and it has all the eminities you can imagine. The hotel has everything to be great, however, it had the worst food we had in all Tanzania. The food at the restaurant was not good and to make it worst, the food they delivered to the safari day was awful! Literally gave us a chicken leg inside a plastic bag...I had no words to what I saw... Aside from that, the hotel service could be a little nicer. Compared to all the other hotels we were in Tanzania, this was the less welcoming by far. Overall, the expirience was average and if not from the facilities being so good, probably the review would be a 2."

Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge ★★★★★
"The Neptune Ngorongoro Lodge was spectacular! And it is right outside the Crater. The room was very luxurious and provided all we needed. All of the staff were very attentive and pleasant, especially Norbert! The meals were delicious with plenty of variety. From the welcome reception, to the daily happy hours, to the nightly turn down service, you can’t go wrong with staying here"

The Retreat at Ngorongoro ★★★★
"The retreat is just that. It feels like an oasis, a sanctuary away from the stresses of everyday life. The gardens couldn’t be more beautiful, the food prepared by their amazing chef is delicious and the staff, including the lovely Judith, are warm and hospitable. A great experience and we recommended highly."

Africa Safari Ngorongoro Ndutu ★★★★
"Everything was just great, see for your yourself at the photos. The lodge is in the middle of nowhere and on your way to the place you will see lots of giraffe. The tent is very comfy and you hear lots of animal sounds during the night. To have dinner in the small tent restaurant was also an extraordinary atmosphere. The team is very friendly and will definitely go the extra for you! "
