The staff was so kind. The family style meals were so delicious. I loved dinner. The pool was nice but we didn't have enough time to swim as it rained in the morning. The beds and room were comfortable. The hotel is near the entrance to Ngorongoro Conservation Area so it's pretty convenient to stop there on the way into or out of the park. The hotel supports a farm and local school which I love. One of the staff was a former student of the school -- she was very sweet. They also clean your bags- I was shocked by how dusty everything got on safari. I would definitely stay here again.

The location of Ngorongoro Corridor is very ideal for tourist visiting many national parks. We visited Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater and the lodge was equi distant from both places. The staff were very courteous and the service was great. We had breakfast and dinner at the lodge during our three day stay. They oacked us lunch when we visited national parks. The food was prepared as per our request (we are vegetarians) and it was very delicious.

extremely friendly staff, food was great. Rooms are basic with everything you need, and the hot shower was nice and welcome after a day in the dust of Ngorongoro. The set up was great for our family- one room with a king bed, and another with a double bed + single for the kids

The chef was world class. Every dish was excellent. The entire staff was wonderful. My friend and I stayed three nights and the staff learned our names, reached out to us to see when we would be at meals, escorted us to our room after dark, etc. The room was beautiful. The property was beautiful. In short, I would return to Tanzania just to stay at this lodge.

Remote, tranquil, minimalist scenic location overlooking the valley. It’s eco-friendly in that they use solar and minimize resource consumption. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food delicious and plentiful. The road up there is rough (use a rugged car or hire a ride), but the view and being out of the hustle and bustle of town is worth it. The owner, Khan, is very welcoming and cordial. We enjoyed chatting with him. He was honest and a pleasure to do business with. I also liked that they had resident cats who were well-loved and cared for.

    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.
