Super nice ledge with excellent service and value for money

We are extremely satisfied with our stay in the Foresight Eco Lodge. Our Delux family room is actually a kind of tent-bungalow with 3 beds that can sleep 4 persons. It is very spacious with sitting area, sofa and tables. The view from the nice outdoor terrace is beautiful. It is very quiet. The reception for our arrival was super nice and friendly; all the staff we met were service-minded and very kind. The f full pension with breakfast, lunch-box and dinner were of good quality. The Wifi was fast, but only in the restaurant & reception area. It was not a problem for us at all. If we planned our trip differently, we would have planned to stay in this nice Eco lodge one more day. Highly recommended.

Wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately. We had much better experiences at other hotels in Tanzania.

The staff who work at the eco lodge are lovely and very welcoming. It was clean in the lodge. At night they put a hot water bottle in your bed to keep you warm. The food was always served warm and tasted lovely. (This is a set meal)

Amazing experience

We have an amazing family experience. The lodge is located in a truly wonderful area close to the NP, surrounded by beautiful nature that makes you feel relaxed and connected to the environment. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, caring, and always ready to help. The safari experience was unforgettable. Visiting Ngorongoro NP and Lake Manyara NP was my kids dream. The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best possible experience, from spotting wildlife to learning about the parks. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Foresight Eco Lodge and Safari to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic safari experience in Tanzania. Many thanks to Ernest, Erick, George and all the staff.

A small and personal lodge with very friendly service

It is a lovely unique setting, we stayed in Honey Tree house which was very secluded and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, a great stay to go to the crater one day and just chill at the lodge the second day- hope to return

Memorable with so much kindness and love for the community, children, staff and the environment

Earnest and his team made us feel immediately welcomed at home. The backstory of this place is truly special and inspiring. We love it because it’s not your usual typical luxury safari lodge/ camp thanks to the vision of one determined woman Anita with her partner Earnest to bring Foresight’s vision to life. When you come to Foresight it’s about care kindness resilience community and giving back. Thats what I loved most about Foresight. The vision and spirit it was built on. Plus our family suite was just sooo lovely and definitely worth the full board package that we paid for. The hospitality of the team there was just so genuine and warm. I highly recommend Foresight if you are looking for a special place to support with your tourism money.

Foresight

Had a very nice stay in Foresight. Staff was very friendly, food was really good. Even the cook stepped by to check if everything was good. Room (Bungalow) was very spacious and clean. The lodge is located at the very end of the road, up the hill. Nice view over Karatu and quietly located. All in all a very good stay.

This is one of a kind place and tour.

I really really really happy. Foresight rocks~!!! My husband and I HAD A GREAT GREART time with foresight, not only the room, the food, but the people there and their tours. When I plan my trip to Tanzania, we usually travel by ourselves, not with any agent, but after one month research online, I realized that it is not easy to travel by ourself here, so I have to book through agent, in order to get in national parks do game drive and transfer town to town, I contacted over 30+ local travel agent , the quote and plan were no big difference, I was lost, until I found foresight eco, I saw their school program, since I used to be a public school teacher, so I'd like to know better about the kind of business model, I did not know how real it was since it is all just internet, so I contact them, the more we talk , the better feeling I got, so we were not only booked rooms with they, but also the whole safari trip, including day & night game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, several days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, also a visit to school, it was real real, it was real that I felt shame that I judge programs like this because when I was actually there I saw their efforts with my own eyes. Beside this goodwills, just about the trip, it was beyond our expectation, with their modest but perfect vehicle, the best tour guide and driver Rapha, who was so so so passionate with nature, truly love animals and people, very young and talented Rapha, we had a great time, we saw everything, literally, everything, if you were a true nature lover, not just to photo taking tourist, I guarantee that you are going to connect with Tanzania through them, through Rapha. I definitely will come back, this must be one of the unique accommodation place and tour company in Tanzania, one of a kind~!

Comfortable room, great views

Lovely comfortable room, lovely views and helpful staff. Food (Swahili) was a downside, average food although similar to what we have come to expect with food in Tanzania. Felt it was a little expensive for what you get.
