Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Karatu

Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge is set on a breezy slope above Karatu with long valley views — a value-minded mid-range base that’s calm and scenic.

Pricing: typically $420–$455 per double in high season; around $250–$275 in low season (Mar–May).

Who it appeals to: Couples and small groups who prefer a quiet outlook and friendly, homely service over big-resort bustle. If you’re weighing options, consider Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge — nearby alternative with a similar comfort level; or Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp — rim-side access with higher pricing (upper tier).

Safari context: Equidistant from Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara (~25–30 min each), making it practical to alternate parks.

Rooms

Spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces and verandas catching the valley breeze; décor is simple, fresh and welcoming. A hillside pool, small bar and green gardens (good for birding) add downtime appeal.

Meals

Hearty, home-style cooking timed to safari rhythms: early breakfasts, picnic hampers, and relaxed plated dinners drawing on Karatu’s fresh produce.
