Set high on a picturesque hilltop, this 5-star colonial-style lodge commands some of the most striking views in northern Tanzania. From its elevated position, the property overlooks the massive rise of Oldeani Mountain and faces the distant rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, a sight that shifts beautifully with the morning light and the late-afternoon glow.

Because of its height and open surroundings, the lodge enjoys true 360-degree vistas. On clear days, the landscape opens all the way to Lake Eyasi to the southwest and Lake Manyara to the east, giving guests a clear sense of the region’s volcanic origins and the vastness of the Great Rift Valley.

The lodge is spread across 40 acres of immaculate green gardens, indigenous trees, and pockets of untouched vegetation. Winding pathways cut through lawns, flowering shrubs, and shaded sitting areas, creating a peaceful retreat between safari excursions. The grounds attract an impressive 130+ bird species, making it an excellent spot for bird enthusiasts who appreciate quiet observation without needing to leave the property.
