The Retreat at Ngorongoro

Located amidst 30 acres of green land in Karatu, the lodge has been designed with a bird theme such that nature is integrated into its development. There is a Nest Lounge in the form of a bird’s nest where you may relax and enjoy a glass of cocktail while indulging in a game of billiards or several board games. The Kipepeo restaurant (meaning butterfly in Swahili) offers sumptuous meals which can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors in an open deck while taking in your peaceful surroundings. Other facilities include a conference room and gym.
