We spent a great time in Tanzania. The only negative thing about the tour was our stay in Wildlife Lobo Lodge on december 28. At our arrive it was already dark and the generator was not working, so no electricity and no warm water. Nobody told us about that at the reception, we were informed by a guy who brought... More

Lobo Wildlife Lodge has the perfect location and after that everything else is simply awful. The management is dismissive, unconcerned about guest concerns and appear to work on the assumption that you won’t be coming back to why bother – a very good assumption as far as we are concerned. The rooms are old and small, poorly maintained e.g. splinters... More

We stayed here for 5 nights during Christmas week, this being our second trip to Tanzania. And it was by far the most disappointing lodge we've stayed anywhere in Africa having traveled extensively to Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa on safari. We had no choice but to go with this lodge, since by the time we planned our trip, all... More

We had flown into Northern Serengeti from Kigali and were surprised to see that Lobo airstrip is merely a gravel runway with toilets. Thats it. Lobo Lodge is just a short drive from the airstrip and is seemingly in the middle of nowhere.(it is) It is in a very pretty location and has a beautiful view from most rooms ,... More

Lobo Wildlife Lodge Run by the same company that runs Serengeti Wildlife Lodge and suffers from much the same problems. Poor housekeeping. (At least the linens are clean.) Their idea of "hot" water is water that isn't actually cold. (Only available from 6pm to 11pm, which is the only time power is on.) Spartan furnishings, all worn and creaking and... More

We only stayed one night but could have stayed a week, such an amazing atmosphere. The hotel was very nice but the real attraction was the proximity in the park and availability to wake up with the animals. Food was just alright and understandably on the pricey side but if you have the patience to get to the Serengeti I... More

Rooms are small but cozy. restaurant is huge and offer all type of meals. Although wildlife is not much in abundance in northern Serengeti as compare to central one but... More

This lodge has the best views of the park, and the infrastructure of the viewing platform outside the restaurant and bar give rise to some of the most spectacular views I can imagine over Serengeti, especially had the migration been there. The service was also reasonable, considering what I had heard about the place, not as personable as some of... More

This lodge locates the north of the park, great facilities, good food and have a great observing platform, the view is magnificent there. However, I personally don't like the place because the service is not good and I have only encountered one smiling staff who is the cooker in the buffet. I don't know how to describe the lodge in...

I am surprised by reviews of the Lobo Wildlife Lodge, which are not always that good. It was probably our favorite lodge in Tanzania this year. Ok, the rooms are smaller than in, say, Sopa Lodges, but ours was more than adequate and perfectly comfortable. Plus, it had a great view over the hills of the northern Serengeti. The restaurant...
