We stayed at Plantation Lodge for three nights as part of our honeymoon in Tanzania. We both just loved everything about the place. It is set in a magnificent setting, surrounded by farming countryside. The grounds are impeccably maintained- beautiful gardens, lovely pool and pretty buildings. The staff were a delight, making our stay very comfortable. I loved the outdoor... More

We were on a 12 day Thomson safari. Most nights we stayed at their terrific tented nyumbas but when we got to the Ngorongoro crater area, we were booked into the Plantation Lodge. It was a terrific contrast to the tenting experience. Renata, the owner and Manuela, the manager took excellent care of our family of 10. We all had... More

After two nights at Camp Kikoti and Tarangire National Park, we moved on towards Lake Manyara where we stayed at the Plantation Lodge. Plantation was by far the favorite lodge of both Steve and I due to the luxury setting, colorful grounds and gardens and the service staff. They have some ‘free’ cats on the grounds to hunt mice and... More

The view is amazing. We also enjoyed the swimming pool... Besides, service is perfect and the food was the best we had during our... More

My husband and I stayed here while doing a tour of Tanzania and Kenya. This hotel is about 15 minutes from the crater, which is a good place to stay and is quiet. The first thing we saw was the grounds, which were loaded with beautiful flowers like boganvilla and wisteria and many others I can't even name. We stayed... More

We stayed at the Plantation Lodge for 3 nights and visited the nearby Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Craters for safari. The Lodge is beautiful and very well run. The room and bathroom were really outstanding in terms of how they have been structured and decorated. It was a real pleasure waking up in the morning in that room and then... More

We stayed at Plantation Lodge for 2 nights recently, and thought it was a lovely place to stay during a trip around Ngorongoro. The food is excellent, and the staff are very friendly. We were given a huge 'hut' - Zanzibar, which has the most enormous bathroom we've ever seen in our lives. It also had a lovely little terrace... More
