Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge

My friends and I had a great stay here. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and ensured we were comfortable throughout our stay. I have multiple food allergies and the entire staff ensured that I was catered for at all times. They took great care when preparing my food and the chef asked me multiple times to ensure everything was okay. They give a packed breakfast and lunch on the day of the safari since there is a very early start to the day and even then, they prepared my food separately and I was able to safely eat here during my stay. On the last night of our stay, they ensured the food they cooked for everyone was free of my allergens to ensure no risk of contamination and I was very impressed by their courtesy. This is something I have found is quite rare when travelling but the staff took amazing care of this and I had a very enjoyable stay. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable and the views are amazing. One of the staff took my friends and I on a hike around the area and was very informative, explaining the culture in the surrounding villages. We would highly recommend staying here as the location is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and kind. Our stay was very enjoyable!

The setup of the lodge and the separate tent cabins on stilts was neat. The outdoor shower was a fun surprise (there is also an indoor shower!) and the rooms were clean and well equipped. Since the rooms are spread out from the lodge, the staff was ready and willing to carry our bags for us. The food at the lodge was the best of our trip. The unique warm banana soup was my favorite - sweet and savory! We didn’t have a chance to use to pool, but the setup was beautiful for that too. Definitely recommend this lodge!

This lodge was much nicer than we expected. The tents were huge, with a good sized bathroom and wonderful outdoor shower. Although it was located on a bumpy road out of town, it was very pleasant. The views across the valley were beautiful and there were lots of places to sit and read. All of our meals were excellent and the staff was very helpful. We'd definitely stay here again.

My husband and I loved our honeymoon stay at the Ngorogoro Forest Lodge. All the staff was incredibly nice and provided us with excellent service. We were greeted by Daniel and provided with all the details regarding our meals who took note of any allergies, arranged for laundry service and made sure we had everything we needed. This was hands down our favorite lodge in the whole world, atleast the places we have been fortunate enough to visit so far. We have never met more friendlier staff in our lives. We made so many friends at this lodge. (I really wish I had left this review sooner because I am blanking at the details, we are just so bad at leaving reviews, but this has been on my to do list for many months now.) Daniel was hands down the best manager. He works literally 24/7, I do not know how his smile never fades. I would be so grouchy. The chef at this place has to be trained by ramsey or equivalent, because holy crap, the food was delightful. We also made friends with a garden staffing member, Samwelli, who saw us looking for baboons through our balcony. He took us on an adventure which ended up being one of the most memorable moments of our trip. We walked through the forest looking for baboons and we found them! We also found elephant footprints and got an authentic experience. All the staff here works very hard and strives to provide you with the best service possible. Not a single bad experience. I will be recommending this Lodge to any of my family and friends that visit Tanzania in the future. P.S. Make sure you tip the place, it gets divided among all the staff and they truly work very hard! We noticed the same team members working with a smile and a great attitude from 6am in the morning when we left for our safari till atleast 1130pm at night.

We stayed for one night during our safari. We were thrilled by the incredibly beautiful view, the very friendly and accommodating staff, the great room facilities (with additional outside shower) and the really great food!
