About Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge
Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge is a lovely lodge just outside of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Set in 750 acres of private farmland, it is comfortable, well laid out and has some excellent views over the farm and across to Oldeani Volcano. The lodge has continued to offer good-value accommodation since it opened in 2003, and is a good base for visiting both the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park.
Ngorongoro Farmhouse has a rustic, countryside feel, which is very appealing. We felt that the interiors do not quite live up to the promise of the exterior, but the lodge is still a welcoming and friendly, and comparatively affordable, spot to base yourself to trips to the crater.
