Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Karatu

Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge crowns a ridge line with broad lawns and veranda-lined buildings looking toward the highlands — a stately, resort-like alternative to smaller Karatu plantations.

Pricing: typically $625–$680 per double in high season; around $375–$410 in low season (Mar–May).

Who it appeals to: Travelers who want space and classic elegance — verandas, lawns and a gracious main-house feel — with easy Manyara access and workable crater logistics. If you’re weighing options, consider Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge — nearby hilltop lodge with big views (upper mid-range); or Kitela Lodge — more intimate plantation feel (adjacent tier).

Safari context: Manyara is quick; for crater days plan ~40 minutes to the gate and depart early to protect the morning game-viewing window.
