Stay here when exploring the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, only 20 minutes away and close to the Lake Manyara National Park. Our arrival to the lodge was enhanced with a Masai song performance, a short welcome briefing by management who asked about our dining preferences and a polite escort to our "villa". It was elegant, mosquito netting over the bed, spacious living room and bathroom with an outdoor shower. It conjured up the classic safari lodge imagery that Hemingway might have experienced! From the terrace we had a view of the valley, perfect for sunsets. We were always escorted to and from the main lodge building. Dining was stylish with delicious meals but one of the main attractions was the gorgeous pool - a welcome respite after a dusty game drive.
The attention to quality, safety and Covid protocol was incredible. Upon our departure we were asked to plant a tree, a wonderful touch which underscored their commitment to the environment.
