The best accommodations Northern Parks And Kilimanjaro

An ecological location because it works with solar energy, just five minutes from the entrance of Manyara Lake, in the middle of a forest of acacias. Some luxury rooms. In each house, bathroom and veranda to enjoy the view of the park. The place is famous because lions climb to the trees, doing rare enough to be stressed.

Simba Portfolio is a group of three beautiful lodges located in Serengeti, Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro, offering spectacular views of the bush and wildlife. Serengeti Simba Lodge, Tarangire Simba Lodge and Karatu Simba Lodge offer high quality services and all the necessary comfort after a safari. They have an ecological dimension with the use of solar panels. Wifi is available in the common areas. Each lodge also has a swimming pool. Friendly staff.

This magnificent lodge at the gateway to Ngorongoro and Manyara National Park is set high above the lake. The vast swimming pool also benefits from this sumptuous view. There are 16 spacious rooms, each with a free-standing Victorian bathtub and a pleasant terrace. Dinners are fabulous, prepared with organic ingredients by a talented chef. Activities and nature walks are available from the lodge, which organizes safaris and has a new sister property in the heart of the Serengeti.

This new camp, which opens in June 2023, is located in the heart of the Serengeti's most densely populated area for cats (especially lions and cheetahs): Seronera. Godson, who created the camp, speaks perfect French and can give you all the information you need. This small, human-scale camp has double, triple and family tents with bathrooms and running hot water, furnished with handcrafted furniture and natural materials. The meals are delicious, served in a friendly tent, and the staff are very welcoming.

Amani Villa is nestled in the Kilimanjaro Golf and Wildlife Estate, a property planted with acacia trees and surrounded by sumptuous mountains and Maasai steppe. Decorated in safari style, the villa boasts 4 double rooms and 3 twin rooms overlooking the garden or pool, as well as a dining room. The villa is ideal for families or groups of friends, with a wide range of services for guests. In addition to 18-hole golf, the villa offers horseback riding, hiking in Arusha National Park, cycling and kayaking on Lake Duluti.

This hostel is close to the center of town, yet surrounded by greenery and calm. Its charm lies in its setting of lawns and fruit trees. The best deal is to sleep in a heavy safari tent, on cots with a comfortable mattress, at a low price, with shared showers (hot water). Other hard-standing options: dormitories with 4 to 8 beds (mixed) or double rooms with private bathrooms. Acceptable cleanliness, restaurant under a makuti shelter, chill-out areas under the trees. Great welcome from Simba and good breakfast. Wifi.

Simple, efficient and more than affordable, the Bright Star Hotel is the perfect address for those on a budget. A pretty, friendly pink house run by the warm-hearted Veronica. The rooms are pleasant and bright, with soft four-poster beds and mosquito netting, and clean en-suite bathrooms with hot water. What more could you ask for at this price? We appreciate the location in Sakina, very close to the center (5 minutes by dala dala from the road), the warm welcome from the staff and the excellent breakfast. Wifi.

This house converted into a youth hostel is very central without being in the middle of honking horns. The garden is very green and the space like an oasis of serenity in the city. Everything is beautiful and clean: the beds in the dormitories (mixed) are made of logs, the bedding is impeccably clean and really cosy, and the prices are really reasonable. The whole place is new and well kept. The breakfast restaurant is outside, facing the vegetation, which is very pleasant. An excellent address for small budgets. Wifi.

A beautiful house not too far from the center of town, carefully decorated and with a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Ideal for chatting over a meal, or around the campfire. Small garden with swings, communal lounge, outdoor terrace for meals. The double rooms (with or without bathroom), family rooms and bandas bungalows have been designed with upcycling in mind, with pallet bed bases, local sisal carpets and a pleasantly studied decor. Small structure, excellent breakfast. Wifi. Bicycle rental.

This lodge offers large houses (bandas) where guests have clean, simple rooms with locally made furniture. They have balconies to relax and large huts to eat. The whole place is charming, cosy and well made. We also appreciate the swimming pool on site to refresh yourself. A campsite for those who are already equipped and independent, with sanitary facilities (hot water), cooking and food storage area, caretaker. A good address, very close to the park entrance.

This small lodge with just 10 rooms is ideally located 15 minutes from Karatu in the heart of the wilderness. Each room in a heavy tent is luxuriously furnished with king-size beds and a pleasant safari style. We love the view of Lake Manyara and the Rift Valley, the refreshing little pool, the really reasonable prices and the good meals served here. It's part of Mawe Lodges, which has three camps (Mawe, central-eastern Serengeti), Baobab (between Tarangire and Lake Burunge), Ndutu and Mara River (to follow the migration).
