Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Karatu

Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari is one of the most budget-friendly bases in Karatu, with rooms typically around $120–130 per night in high season, dropping closer to $70–80 per night in low season. It’s designed with a sustainable, community-focused ethos, appealing to travelers who value eco-friendly practices and authentic cultural immersion.

From a safari logistics point of view, staying here means you’ll add roughly 30-40 minutes to reach the Ngorongoro gate each morning. Guests typically depart at 6:30 am, reaching the crater floor just after 7:30 am — slightly later than rim lodges, but still within the prime predator-activity window.

Compared to other Karatu affordable options like Tanzanice Farm Lodge (similar price, farm-style atmosphere) and Ikumbi Lodge (slightly pricier but a touch more polished), Foresight Eco Lodge is best suited to those who want a sustainable stay without unnecessary frills.
