Fodor's Expert Review Entamanu Ngorongoro Lodge

Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha, Tanzania Fodor's Choice

Nestled high on the northwest rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the Entamanu Lodge is found under a shady canopy of Acacia trees; it's the only lodge found on this more remote corner of the crater rim. With locally sourced materials, soft neutral colors, and artwork and interior decor made by Tanzanian artisans, this lodge has a warm and inviting home-under-safari canvas atmosphere. Giraffes frequent this area of the highlands more than anywhere else and they can often be found wandering through the camp. Don't miss the opportunity to do a bush walk with one of the lodge's guides, especially if the walk is along the crater rim. 

PROS

  • unbelievably comfortable beds and linens
  • massive tents with expansive, private views of the highlands
  • food and service is of a high standard

CONS

  • a bit windy in season (you get use to it)
  • a long drive to the lodge from the entrance (consider it a bonus safari)
  • tsetse flies can be a bother in summer season
