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.
