Surrounded by tropical gardens and towering trees, the lodge features a cozy wooden lounge, bar, and dining area that gives off a treehouse feel. Guests can relax in a peaceful setting with a refreshing outdoor swimming pool and enjoy warm, heartfelt Tanzanian hospitality at its finest.

It lies just a short drive from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (around 20 minutes) and Lake Manyara National Park (about 40 minutes), making it a strategic base for multiple northern circuit safaris.
