"Ngedere Lodge is nicely situated in Mto wa mbu as an ideal base for Safari game drives to Manyara Lake, Ngorongoro Crater and even the Serengeti National Parks. I had the half board package. Erick cooked great food with a range of pancakes, omlettes, sausages for breakfast and the loads of options on the evening. Numerous local dishes, like Ogali and international greats including pizza and chips, burgers, etc. The rooms were clean with warm showers - great for familes and solo travellers. ...

"We had a fantastic stay at Tarangire Greenland Resort, in the heart of Tarangire National Park. Our cabin was very comfortable and the staff was super accommodating, making arrangements for game drives and serving great breakfasts and dinners. My only complaint was that it was not as well sign-posted as some other lodgings within the park. Tarangire NP itself is amazing. It is deservedly touted for its baobabs and large families of elephants, but there is so much more, and it is far less crowded...

The hotel can be great with small adjustment and attention to details "
