The lodge features comfortable cottage rooms with en-suite bathrooms, perfect for families and groups seeking a reliable base close to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Park.
After a night in Karatu, you will head to the stunning Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Turner Springs in the Central Serengeti.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
