Ngorongoro Farm House
Ngorongoro Farm House provides an authentic farm life experience and acts as the perfect stop-off point before moving on to the nearby attractions of Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. The farm is fully functioning and is great for families, with pigs, sheep, and cows inhabiting the 750 acres of private farmland. Much produce is freshly grown in their organic garden so healthy eaters can rest assured all food is fresh.
The lodge offers 52 chalet-type bedrooms with colonial interiors and a private terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens and/or the coffee plantation. Take a walk around the farm, relax in the fragrant gardens, swim in the pool, or enjoy the spectacular sunsets with the Oldeani volcano as a backdrop.
