We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful Farm Lodge. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The vegetarian dinner was outstanding – one of the best we’ve ever had! Breakfast was also delicious and offered a great variety. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable. Overall, it was a perfect stay.

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!

The place is a pretty upscale tent camp (e.g. nice shower), no complaints about the food. And the pool was a nice touch. It is a good choice for proximity to Ngorongoro Crater, which has become so popular that you might encounter heavy traffic regardless of where you are (unless you really pay the extra cash to stay in one of the lodges within the conservation area). We were there in October, and the total trip, from lodge to entering the area (including paperwork at the gate) was about an hour. Overall a very good choice, no regrets.
