Africa Safari Karatu

With phase one complete and accepting guests, they're almost perfect. Did wellings are hardened made out of brick with balconies in each room. They only have 10 rooms currently available. Each room has a full bathroom shower and toilet included. The guest room in our double room would have easily slept three. It had a portable air conditioner and a copy pot with t and coffee available to having your room. The room was very comfortable. The dining area was also very comfortable, meals were either plated or served buffet style. They even honored special requests for the picky eaters in my group. The only downside to staying here was access to the reception area for question to problems. There are no phones or walkie-talkies in the rooms. One would have to go out of their room flag down a security guard and have them tell reception that they were needed. This problem can be easily solved so expect when they open phase two and phase three they will have this at hand.

The lodge is a good location with spacious rooms. We stayed triple occupancy for 2 nights. However the food choice especially dinner and lunch box were not tasty and we barely ate. No wifi in the rooms. Issues with hot water pressure and drainage of water in the shower. Staff is pleasant.

Location is nice, especially the swimming pool area. Personnel is friendly. Internet is horrible, almost not working in the common areas and zero in the room. Food buffet is very poor with zero choices. It's more than 1 hour from Ngorongoro Crater.
