Karatu Tented Lodge ★★★★

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."

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!"

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."

Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Campsite
9.6 (41 reviews)

Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Campsite ★★★★

📍 Karatu, Karatu

"This was my favorite of all the lodges we stayed at. It is located just outside the Ngorongoro Crater, with beautiful rooms, peaceful and well-manicured grounds, and a staff that is exceptionally friendly and attentive. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We also had the chance to meet the owners, Fiona and Marco, who are remarkable people. Her story has truly inspired us to do more to help. I highly recommend this lodge not only for its beauty and comfort but also for the meaningful work they do for the community.."

Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge
9.6 (3 reviews)

Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge ★★★

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."

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"
