The Experience
The Retreat at Ngorongoro is a luxurious, nature-inspired paradise set on over 60 acres overlooking the Ngorongoro Forest in Tanzania. Passionate about nature, the lodge has undertaken extensive reforestation, planting over 40,000 indigenous trees to restore the land's lush ecosystem. Guests are invited to find peace, tranquility, and a deep connection with nature in this serene environment. The lodge embraces a philosophy of holistic luxury, believing that safari accommodation should offer a comprehensive experience that combines natural beauty, engaging activities, spacious comfort, and affordable indulgence.
Each spacious cottage is tastefully appointed with local art, king or queen beds, mosquito nets, fireplaces, and private decks with forest views. The lodge prides itself on its world-class cuisine with local twists, with much of the produce grown on-site thanks to the fertile Ngorongoro highlands. Special dietary requests are happily accommodated, ensuring a personalized dining experience for every guest.
Beyond luxurious accommodations and exquisite dining, The Retreat at Ngorongoro offers a wealth of activities designed to enhance the guest experience. From relaxing swims in the infinity pool and bird watching to adventurous biking through coffee farms and fishing in a private lake, there's something for everyone. The lodge is also ideally located for exploring nearby national parks like Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, as well as cultural visits to Lake Eyasi and local art galleries, making it a perfect base for an unforgettable Tanzanian adventure.
