Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge

Very cool place. Nice room nice charming staffs and reliable power supply is avilable

Quiet lodge with spacious rooms each with a porch allowing you to enjoy the views of the tropical forest and frequently grazing water bucks (sorry no crater views here). Each room has a stove & fuel and they will bring coals for you if you are cool. Electricity is limited with outlets only working 6-9a and 6-9p and wifi only in the dining hall. The dining hall is the nicest feature with many windows and a big fireplace. Food is decent with limited evening menus (typical lodge fare) and generally included with the room. No complaints.

We stayed at Rhino Lodge for one night and the experience, compared to other places we were nearby, was not the best. The positive points are essentially the staff, the food which was good and the bed. The negative points are the rooms: the walls are not insulated at all and all you need is a neighbor who speaks a little louder and you can hear everything. We woke up at 5am when we had expected to wake up 2h30 later and all due to poor insulation. High price/quality for what they sell.

Simple lodge but well located at the gate of Ngorongoro Park. The rooms are basic but comfortable for one night. We appreciated the wood stove to warm us at night. The staff takes great care, the restaurant is excellent with two fireplaces for warming up. Special mention for the incredible view from the restaurant terrace.

Great location and friendly staff, but the rooms feel in need of updating. The hotel is approximately 20 mins drive from the access road to the crater, so it's location is really good. There is a bar and restaurant which serves buffet style breakfast and dinner. Drinks prices seem higher than other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Tanzania. Great sunset and clear skies, and wildlife wandering through the hotel gardens during the evening.

Rooms need some updating but I will say the staff and service is great. They also are very well prepared for the cool nights at the crater with thick blankets and the option of a fireplace. I didn’t feel cold at all after going to bed

Nice lodge with wonderful restaurant. Comfortable rooms with wood stove inside. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Our room had a nice patio. Only 1 hair dryer to share for the entire lodge.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge during my visit to Tanzania, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this lodge offers a tranquil and immersive stay amidst nature's wonders. The lodge is surrounded by lush greenery and attracts a variety of wildlife throughout the day, like water buck The rooms were comfortable, clean, and offer all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. The beds are cozy, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring the crater. Each room also features large windows, allowing guests to wake up to stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The lodge's restaurant serves delicious buffet meals, with a variety of options to cater to different tastes. The food is freshly prepared and offers a mix of local and international dishes. The staff members are friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any requests or dietary restrictions. The Wi-Fi access was limited, only at the restaurant. However, this can also be seen as an opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and fully immerse oneself in the beauty of the surroundings.
