Africa Safari Rift Valley

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Karatu

Africa Safari Rift Valley is a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu, with rooms generally priced around $260–285 per night in high season, falling to about $155–170 per night in low season (Mar–May). Part of the Africa Safari Camps portfolio, this property caters to safari travelers looking for functional comfort at a fair price, without the polish of boutique Karatu lodges like Marera or Tloma.

From a safari perspective, the Rift Valley location means you’ll still spend 40 minutes reaching the Ngorongoro gate in the morning. Expect to depart around 6:30 am and reach the crater floor after 7:30 am. That’s perfectly fine for predator viewing, but not as sharp as crater-rim lodges.

Compared with Marera Valley Lodge (similar pricing, more rustic-chic) and Farm of Dreams (larger, resort-style), Africa Safari Rift Valley positions itself as straightforward and dependable, particularly for travelers who value the chain’s consistency and affordability across northern Tanzania.
