The Plantation Lodge is the best coffee farm in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Plus, it’s in a great place that makes it easy to get to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The food is especially good because they use vegetables from their very nice organic farm. The rooms are simple but very nice. There are some other great places in the area, like Gibbs Farm, but we think Plantation is the best right now.

Plantation Lodge: The Truth About It

This lodge is just outside of Karatu, a small town. It’s about halfway between the Crater and Lake Manyara, so it’s a great place for people who want to go on safari in both and then come back to a beautiful, quiet place. From Arusha, it takes about two and a half hours to get there. The lodge is set in a valley with lots of coffee plants and green vegetation.

There is a sense that the lodge is an old colonial farm house that has been beautifully restored to become the place it is now. A well-kept grass lawn is spread out between a group of white houses. All of the vegetable fields and patches are full, lush, and full of food.

The rooms are large and fancy, with lots of home comforts and nice touches that will help you relax after a day on safari. Besides this, the diving pool is a good place to unwind and watch the world go by.

They also serve a wide range of meals and drinks, which is another great thing about this place.

In general, we think Plantation Lodge is a great place to stay. A great place to stay in Karatu while on vacation in Tanzania. The place, the rooms, the food, and the service are all very good.

For the Plantation Lodge to be a “drive-in” lodge, you will need to bring your own guide and car from Arusha. This is because the lodge only provides lodging and not safari activities. It’s best to stay here for two nights and spend the first day game driving in Lake Manyara and the second day in Ngorongoro Crater. The cabin can also be used for more trips to see the Hadzabe people or the nearby Lake Eyasi. Even though the Ngorongoro Crater is very famous, you don’t need to stay here for more than two nights. It’s not very big, so a day of game driving here will be plenty.

A usual trip to Northern Tanzania would begin with a night in Arusha. A lot of people use this as a stopover because it gives them time to relax or in case their foreign flight is delayed. Usually, you would fly to the Serengeti after stopping at Plantation Lodge. Your driver would drop you off at the Lake Manyara airstrip. Will usually tell you where in the Serengeti you will be going based on what time of year you go.

The migration takes place in the north of the National Park in the Kogatende area from July to October. Here is where the famous river passes happen, which usually means seeing some amazing wildlife. From November to March, the Ndutu Plains are where the biggest groups of herds gather. The giving birth season starts in February, and for a few weeks, over 8,000 calves are born every day. From April to June, the herds move into the Seronera and Grumeti areas of the park as they head north again.

Plantation Lodge goes well with a lot of different camps. You can splash out a little more in the Serengeti if you want to because it’s so cheap.

There’s nothing better than going to the island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean after a tour to relax on a lounger and drink something cool by the pool. If you want to see more art, the city of Stone Town is a great place to spend a night or two before going to the beach. The Park Hyatt is the best hotel in the city.

Many of the beaches on Zanzibar are wet, so you need to be careful. However, there are some hotels and lodges with great beaches. Our favorite beach is Zuri, which is in the north of the island. It has a beach that isn’t affected by the tides, beautiful white sand, and lots of swimming pool beach bars, making it the perfect place to end a trip to Northern Tanzania.
