One of the best lodges during our safari! The staff was incredibly friendly, and we had great conversations with them. Their attention to detail was outstanding. They even helped me to get my toothbrush back from another hotel :) Good was so gooooooood.
The pool area was amazing, and the views from the lodge were breathtaking.
I don’t understand some of the reviews saying the tents are dark—you can literally open them almost all the way around without worrying about mosquitoes, as everything is covered with nets. The bathroom had a fantastic shower, and everything was spotlessly clean.
We truly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer!

Africa Safari Karatu surprised us!! The facilities, staff, location, views, food... everything was just perfect. You need to do a bit of off-roading to reach the property, but the travel is worth it. The place is so clam and quiet and the view all around the property is very nice.

This lodge is truly exceptional. We had an incredible time, and the staff were absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay special. The charm of the place lies in its old-world style, which may not be for everyone, but we found it to be part of its unique appeal. Don’t be swayed by outdated or negative reviews you might find online—this place is far better than some might make it out to be.
While the lodge has a more classic, traditional vibe, it’s incredibly well-maintained and filled with character. Every corner reflects the rich history of the place, and despite its age, everything is in great condition. It’s clear that the management takes great pride in preserving the lodge while ensuring it remains comfortable and welcoming for guests.
The food was consistently delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed each meal. The atmosphere, both in the lodge and the surrounding area, made our stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place with character, warmth, and a personal touch, this is definitely the place to stay. It’s old style, yes, but in the best possible way, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience.
Providing garden views, NGORONGORO CORRIDOR LODGE Karatu in Karatu provides accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar.

The rooms were spacious and clean. There were good mosquito nets (but few mosquitos).There was plenty of hot water to shower. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
The property is lovely. The staff are so accommodating. Excellent food. Amazing service.
Too much money and I hope that they can help the maasai community more where the lodge is located. They receive no benefit from giving up their land for the lodge to use.
Perfect location, absolutely stunning to see the magnificent Ngorongoro crater from the comfort of the lodge. Especially sunrise is breathtaking. The stay itself is a unique experience. Staff are very well trained and very attentive to guests, they all have shown us true East African natural hospitality.
Stunning views over the Ngorongoro Crater from every room. It is this that is the principal reason to choose this Hotel. Everything else was OK but not spectacular. In our case we were particularly disorganised about all our park permits as we self organised the trip, not using a safari company, and a flight delay took our park entry past 6 PM. It was all sorted with help from the hotel but then we were fortunate to have got the mobile phone number of a particularly helpful manager; this turned a potentially disasterous trip into a great one!
The rooms have fantastic views over the crater and are very comfortable. The heating system works well and is needed at nights. The bar and restaurant have similarly great views and is lovely to chill out and relax. The Wi-Fi works well and reasonably fast.
The lodge is close to the descending and ascending roads to the crater- both of which are paved and don’t present too much of a driving challenge
The staff are all very helpful.
If self driving, it is useful to know the lodge does have repair work shop where basic repairs can be done.
We arrived here at the end of a particularly busy safari day. This place was above and beyond what was expected and the breathtaking view from it makes this site very impressive. At night, antelopes appeared near our tent and the experience was perfect.
