Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge

Just before Karatu, on the way towards Ngorongoro, lies Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge. Lake Manyara National Park and the gate to Ngorongoro Crater are both close by, so the location works well for a stopover between the two parks. The lodge is small and personal. The tents stand on platforms, and you shower indoors or outdoors, depending on your courage and your mood. You watch the sunset from the lounge or by the fireplace, and the team speaks two languages. And if you stay a few days? Tarangire National Park is about an hour and a half away, Lake Eyasi about an hour. Around Karatu there are also plenty of opportunities for hiking and for encounters with the people of the region.
