Kankari Lodge Overview

Welcome to Kankari Lodge, located on the outskirts of Karatu town in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Our small lodge is directly on the safari path, located equally distant between Lake Manyara National Park and the gate to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Karatu is a typical Tanzanian village with lots to discover. Spend a day exploring the markets and brickmaking kilns or hiking in the nearby Ngorongoro Forest. There are coffee farms offering tours to discover the growing and processing of the world’s favourite morning beverage.

All ensuite rooms/tents have two twin or one queen bed, private verandah, writing desk and dressing area. It’s possible to add a for a triple room on prior request.
