Country Lodge Karatu

Country Lodge Karatu is a well-established mid-range lodge set on expansive landscaped grounds in Karatu, the fertile highland town between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Spacious rooms with African-inspired furnishings open onto private patios overlooking manicured gardens and towering indigenous trees. A buffet restaurant offers a wide selection of Tanzanian and international dishes, and a swimming pool provides welcome refreshment after dusty safari drives. The lodge's central position on the main northern circuit route makes it a natural stopover for travelers moving between Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Friendly staff, reasonable rates, and reliable service have made Country Lodge a favourite among budget-conscious safari groups and families for over two decades.
