Karatu Country Lodge

THE LODGE

 

Country Lodge Karatu symbolizes simple country comforts, providing pleasant and affordable lodging in the heart of Tanzania’s rich and scenic highlands. We are the ideal ‘Stepping Stone’ for safaris into Ngorongoro Crater and beyond, as well as other travellers visiting the area.

 

Our lodge sits within five acres nestled on the edge of Karatu town, surrounded by rolling plains reaching up to the coffee hills of Oldeani and the forestsâ of Ngorongoro.

 

Garden paths led to eleven double cottages surrounded by green lawns, hedged by brightly flowered bougainvillaea, tropical plants and trees. Birds and butterflies feel right at home in the garden, as you will in our lodgings.

LOCATION

 

Located on the outskirts of Karatu, a quaint country town on the Great Escarpment, midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Country Lodge is situated in the centre of Northern Tanzania’s green belt district and farming community.

ACTIVITIES

Country Lodge is located near the bustling, agricultural town of Karatu – once a sleepy village awakened by rural development and increased visitors to our National Parks and World Heritage Areas.

 

From Country Lodge so many adventures lie close by. Enjoy a day trip to Ngorongoro Crater, world famous garden of Eden, teeming with wildlife and the site claiming the origin of Man-Kind.

 

Descend the grand Escarpment to Lake Manyara National Park with it’s beautiful forest and interesting eco-systems; or visit Tarangire National Park, famous for elephants in the dry season.

 

Lake Eyasi is just a short drive away and is home to the ‘wa-Hadzaabe,’ one of only two true Bushmen tribes surviving in Africa. The intriguing Barabaig people and Datoga tribe also live by Lake Eyasi – a dry and fascinating area lost in time and seeped in cultural history.
