Ngorongoro Farm House | Ngorongoro Lodges

Introduction

Ngorongoro Farm House is a fantastic base from which to explore all the surrounding attractions whilst offering good value for money to-boot.

The lodge is set on a working farm (hence the name) and is ideally situated halfway between the attractions of Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara whilst offering activities locally that include mountain biking, hiking and cultural visits.

We describe this lodge more as a rural / farming destination from which one visits the surrounding and local attractions from a central base. A great destination for couple, families and small groups of friends traveling together.
