Eileen's Trees Inn

Eileen's Trees Inn is a welcoming mid-range lodge in Karatu, the agricultural heartland between Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Set within well-maintained gardens shaded by mature jacaranda and fig trees, the lodge offers comfortable en-suite rooms with hot water, mosquito nets, and private verandas looking out over the green Karatu highlands. A restaurant serves Tanzanian and international cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, and the bar is a favourite gathering point for safari travelers swapping stories. The lodge's location on the main safari route makes it a convenient and affordable overnight base for visitors heading to the Ngorongoro Crater or continuing deeper into the Serengeti ecosystem.
