Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Mto wa Mbu Escarpment, Karatu

"This place is a signature chain of lodges in East africa and you have to stay there at least once because the rooms are the same at every park. The staff is lovely adn friendly, the rooms are a bit old fashion but still has the safari feeling, the garden is tidy and very well manicured, the view is to die for (The Rift Valley and Lake Manyara National Park). The restaurant is extremely classy and food is abundant and different types of food for everyone. My clients were unhappy andd grumpy because of some other issues about the safari. The manager even came to me and asked what he can do about it. It iss very sweet that he noticed the situation."

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★

📍 JJ78+9W, Karatu

"Location is nice, especially the swimming pool area. Personnel is friendly. Internet is horrible, almost not working in the common areas and zero in the room. Food buffet is very poor with zero choices. It's more than 1 hour from Ngorongoro Crater."

Peak Hotel ★★★

📍 B144, Karatu

"We stayed here for a night before heading for Ngorongoro Crater. The room was neat and clean. It had a nice balcony too. The bathroom was clean. We wanted hot water for tea, it was delivered to our room. Dinner at the restaurant was good. The chef took very good care of us and cooked a delicious chicken, vegetable, and rice. next morning breakfast was served with care. Evelyn was very efficient and kind. She packed us some pancakes and boiled eggs for us. We had a very comfortable stay. Thank you!"

Omega View Hotel & Resort ★★★★

📍 Bwawani Primary School Street, Karatu

"With our Safari tour we arrived around 4 pm. The staff is very friendly and the food is nice. Unfortunately the room smelled, was not clean and at night there was a lot of noice. The rooms aren’t isolated properly so you could hear the people from the kitchen above us (We slept on the 3rd floor and the restaurant is at the 4th floor). We wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all."

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge ★★★★
"Arrival drinks and hot towel by the staff which we were so great full for after a long drive I wish I took photos of the room, unfortunately I only got a quick video. The Pool view was the best bit. Lunch menu was nice (set menu), staff were friendly and attentive. But the room its self was disappointing, very traditional but worn. The floor I’m assuming had not long been painted as it has stained my trainers. Our shower was small with a dated shower curtain. To be honest all the textiles in the room were dated. The bathroom doors were a bit stiff, we couldn’t shut ours without slamming it or pushing the door latch in, the neighbours were the same. We could here them at 5am in the morning taking a shower Shame as it’s a 4*. Clean comfy bed though. Loud rooms, you can hear everything next door. When they get up at 5am shut bathroom doors, open the fly nets and putting the shower on, our side would whistle really loud. Dated room, kettle wouldn’t work at first but managed to get it to. Fly net had holes in and weren’t placed on the tracks right."

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."

Omega View Hotel & Resort ★★★★
"Due to a big goof-up by our travel agent, we had to spend a night at Karatu, just outside the Ngorongoro conservation area and we picked Omegaview that same morning we were due to check in as it had availability. The hotel comes at a price way cheaper than the luxury camps or lodges and so obviously, its facilities are more basic. The staff tried very hard to please us and even made dishes which we requested when we found the buffet did not have much for vegetarians. The hotel is decent and provides value for money,"

Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Campsite ★★★★
"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.."
