Ngorongoro Farm House: A Fantastic Base For Exploring All Surrounding Attractions

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 coffee plantation (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 surroundings and local attractions from a central base.

An excellent destination for couples, families and small groups of friends travelling together.

Onsite activities are varied, from guided walks around the farm, where you learn about traditional farming methods and medicinal plants used by the Maasai people, to more adventurous forays into the area.

Guided Maasai walks will give you an insight into the culture of this beautiful tribe, and there is even an on-site massage centre to soothe weary feet.

The famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area is only 20 minutes away, and you can take excursions here to spot the Big Five, whilst keen photographers will be rewarded with some stunning shots of the wildlife.
