Karatu Tented Lodge

Karatu Tented Lodge is an attractive and small-scale accommodation located on the edge of the village of Karatu, between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Set in a green and peaceful environment, the lodge is an ideal stop during your self-drive journey through Northern Tanzania. Here you can enjoy comfort and tranquility after a day of safari in the surrounding national parks.

The lodge offers spacious safari tents permanently set on wooden platforms. Each tent features a private en-suite bathroom, comfortable beds, and a veranda overlooking the garden. The combination of canvas, wood, and natural materials creates a warm safari atmosphere while still providing the comfort of a lodge.

On the grounds you will find a swimming pool to cool off after a warm safari day and several seating areas in the garden where you can relax. The restaurant serves tasty dishes with both international and local influences. Your stay is based on dinner, bed and breakfast, allowing you to fully unwind and enjoy a carefree experience.

Thanks to its favorable location in the Ngorongoro Highlands, Karatu Tented Lodge is a perfect base between Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. It is a comfortable and welcoming place where nature, tranquility, and the safari experience come together.

We would recommend Selfdrive4x4.com to our friends

We booked a last minute 17 day self drive trip through Namibia with this company and everything was just perfect. Contact with the company was very pleasant and they kept us posted with updates about the progress of our trip. Gps, maps, book and 12V equipment was sent to our home as soon as our trip was confirmed.

Price wise it was a great deal and everything in Namibia (car and layovers) were to our satisfaction. We would definitely book again with this company and we would recommend it to our friends.
