Kitela Lodge - Karatu
From $692 /person
A quiet plantation lodge with views, comfort, and easy access to Ngorongoro.
Kitela Lodge sits on the edge of a working farm in the highlands near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The setting is calm and green, with terraces, gardens, and wide views over coffee fields and the surrounding hills. Rooms are spacious and bright, each with a verandah or terrace that looks onto the valley. The main lodge includes a lounge, dining room, and outdoor seating areas that make good use of the scenery. Guests often enjoy meals made with ingredients sourced directly from the farm, along with short guided walks around the property. The atmosphere is relaxed and easygoing, making it a comfortable base for crater excursions while still offering downtime between game drive.
