Ngorongoro Farm House

Ngorongoro Farm House is a distinctive safari lodge set on a working 500‑acre coffee plantation just outside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, roughly 4 km from the Lolduare gate leading into the crater.

The lodge has a colonial farmhouse charm reflected in its thatched main building and individual chalet‑style rooms, all designed with rustic yet comfortable décor and private verandas overlooking the coffee fields and distant valley. Many rooms feature ensuite bathrooms, hot showers, and scenic views.

Ngorongoro Farm House combines relaxation and authentic rural experience with safari access. Guests can dine in the open‑air restaurant or lounge areas, enjoy meals prepared with fresh vegetables and dairy produced on the farm, and relax by the swimming pool with views toward Oldeani Volcano. Guided farm walks, coffee plantation tours, and cultural excursions (including visits to tribal communities such as Hadzabe and Datoga) add depth to the experience.

Its central location between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater makes it an excellent base for game drives into both parks, while the tranquil farm setting offers a peaceful contrast to the excitement of wildlife viewing.
