Kitela Lodge

📍 Coffee & waterfall

About This Property

Kitela Lodge is an elegant safari lodge set in the green foothills of the Ngorongoro Highlands near Karatu, northern Tanzania. Surrounded by gardens and a working coffee farm, the lodge overlooks the plantation and the forested highlands around Ngorongoro, creating a peaceful country-estate atmosphere within convenient reach of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The property has just 20 chalet-style rooms, giving it a quieter and more intimate character than many larger safari hotels. Spacious accommodation, private terraces, a swimming pool, spa facilities and the coffee-estate setting make Kitela Lodge particularly suitable for travellers looking for an upmarket stay between safari destinations.

Its position near Karatu makes it a natural base for visiting Ngorongoro Crater while also allowing travellers to connect with Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Tarangire and Serengeti.
