Perched on a hilltop in Oldeani, just outside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the lodge blends old-world colonial architecture with modern luxury. Guests stay in spacious, elegantly appointed suites and cottages featuring hardwood floors, mosquito-netted beds, indoor fireplaces, private verandas, and large bathrooms with both bathtubs and showers. Each unit is designed to evoke timeless safari elegance with panoramic views of the Rift Valley and Ngorongoro highlands.

Dining Experience

The restaurant serves multi-course meals featuring both continental favorites and Tanzanian-inspired cuisine. Ingredients are sourced locally, often from nearby farms and plantations. Guests enjoy buffet-style breakfasts and dinners, complemented by à la carte options and curated wine selections. Sundowner cocktails on the terrace and campfire evenings enhance the colonial safari atmosphere.

Prime Location

Located about 30 minutes from the Ngorongoro Gate, the lodge is perfectly positioned for crater excursions and cultural visits to local villages.
