Review

Very much the new boy on the block, Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge is already taking the accolades for being the highest specification property in the Ngorongoro Highlands at the best price possible. Due to its location right at the entrance to the park, and the fact it is about half the price of most contemporaries, we would probably agree that the fuss is probably warranted!

Location

One of the very last properties on the main road that runs from Karatu to the Ngorongoro Conservation area, Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge is very well placed for those that have decided not to stay inside the park boundaries and offers great views out to the Ngorongoro and other mountains that rise from the horizon to the west.

Layout

All of the vast cottages are located in two orderly lines that look out from the sides of the gentle slope to the hills beyond. This ordered layout and the scrupulously manicured gardens make for a strangely organised feel to the place but it is, none-the-less a good way to arrange things to allow everyone a view and privacy.

Rooms

The log cabins really are the main reason, in our opinion, to stay here as each is completely self contained, has great views and has a full lounge area with log fire to enjoy.

Activities

Set in around 50 acres of forest, on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, the property is the perfect place to use as a base for exploring the Crater or the nearby Lake Manyara National Park. This area is also known for its coffee plantations and Masai village visits which, while not possible on the estate, can be arranged.

    The Highlands Camp is one of a kind!

    Plantation Lodge - Bedroom

    Plantation Lodge

    As discussed in the Ngorongoro Sopa review, often the choice at the crater is whether to pay for the view (by staying on the crater rim) or for the accommodation (staying in the Highlands). In the case of staying in the Highlands, then we recommend Plantation Lodge. This great little lodge is set... More...

    In the debate of whether to stay on the rim or in the Ngorongoro Highlands, the Ngorongoro Sopa is probably the place that we would opt for for those that don't have the budget to stay in the Crater Lodge. Located on the eastern side of the rim, the Sopa, while not overly luxurious really benefits... More...

    Entamanu Ngorongoro
