About Ngorongoro Farm House

Close Panel

The Ngorongoro Farm House is a friendly lodge facing the Oldeani Volcano. It is a 500 acre coffee farm located only 4 kms from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Lolduare gate.

Ngorongoro Farm House provides an original experience reminiscent of the atmosphere of old days. Three separate and intimate 'camps' of nine comfortable bungalows each are attractively built on the style of an old colonial farm and rustically decorated with local materials.

The huge main building, covered with an elegant thatched roof, contains the reception, bar, dining area, library and lounge with a fireplace where guests can enjoy a rest during the cool evenings in the highlands. Guest areas are completed by a swimming pool with superb views of Oldeani Volcano and a craft shop. There is an organic vegetable and flower garden that covers some acres. Guests can enjoy excellent home made cuisine using the dairy and fresh vegetables produce by the farm all year around.

Tribes Advisor

The people here were lovely and friendly and the food was good but I was surprised at how huge the lodge is! The rooms are all spread out amongst the coffee plantations and there are three sections, some being a long walk from the main area and the pool, so be prepared if you want to go back and forth from the pool to the room a few times! The proximity to the NCA gate is great and it's a good mid range option for this area.
