Comfortable, quiet, safe and friendly environment. Attentive staff and great communication. Plenty of hot water for showers. They organised an excellent safari for us to Ngorongoro with delicious lunch boxes.

Clean and nice place to stay on the way to Ngorongoro national park. The staff can provide you with a lunchbox for an early start to Ngorongoro. They also have a bar and a restaurant with a cool design and nice food. Definitely recommended!

It was wonderful stay in the lodge with kind care and nice hospitality off all members of the staff. The cuisine was delicious. Beautiful garden around with nice places for relaxing after safari. Very close to Ngorongoro main gate. We really appreciated possibility of early breakfast and late dinner by our request. Based on it we could spend more time on safari. We stayed for two nights. It’s the right choice for sure.

“Wonderful stay and perfect rooms and food”
Lovely local lodge and restaurant and perfect for a ngorongoro day trip. The staff were friendly and kind and they ensured that our breakfast and lunch boxes were packed for an early start. The lunchboxes were very reasonably priced and dinner was wonderful. Great portions, local dishes and well priced. Overall, we wished we could stay longer and spend some time enjoying their warm hospitality

“Very good stay and practical location”
The rooms were simple, yet there was all we needed to have a comfortable stay, in particular nice hot water to shower. The location is great if you want to get to Ngorongoro, lake Eyasi, and more. The staff was very nice and helpful and the food was very good.

The staff was very helpful. The owner helped us with all the details we needed for planning a trip to ngorongoro crater. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Highly recommended for the location as it is very short drive to ngorongoro conservation area
