About The Retreat At Ngorongoro

The Retreat at Ngorongoro is an elegant eco-luxury sanctuary in the Karatu highlands, designed to prove that premium comfort does not need to be expensive, nor must safari stays be rustic. Nestled against the Ngorongoro Forest, this stylish property seamlessly blends high-end indulgence with the serene beauty of nature.

The accommodations consist of ultra-spacious private villas featuring romantic fireplaces, refined local art, and private verandas looking out over a lush forest canopy.Beyond the exceptional rooms, the estate serves as a private playground for recreation and wellness.

Visitors can go kayaking or fishing on the shimmering man-made lake, play a match on the private tennis court, or explore the jogging trail winding through thousands of indigenous trees. Complete with farm-to-table dining, a rim-flow infinity pool, and a luxury spa, it provides the ultimate comfort to truly enhance your Tanzanian safari.
