Set on a functioning coffee plantation in Karatu, just 5 km from Tanzania’s renowned Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Farm House offers rustic farm style living at its best. This gem of a spot is simply appointed with comfortable cottages and rooms, beautifully kept gardens with sprawling lawns, its own vegetable garden, and a large swimming pool. Although a fairly large camp, it is spread out over five hundred acres of farm, offering oodles of space and vast views of the Oldeani Volcano in the distance.

There are 52 en-suite garden cottages spread across the estate, with stunning views of the distant volcano and verandas that open onto the gorgeous gardens. Each room is large with comfortable chairs, a coffee table, four-poster bed and a mosquito net for uninterrupted dreams. Although the rooms have everything they need, they do have a slightly hollow feeling which is probably attributable to their size.
The organisation supports various community projects, including the de-snaring project in the Serengeti, medical care solutions like the Olmoti Clinic in Western Kilimanjaro, and educational opportunities like the Emusoi Centre in Arusha. Additionally, initiatives like the Children’s Health Program in Nairobi and contributions to Wildlife Management Areas and Tanzania National Parks underscore their commitment to community well-being and environmental conservation.
