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 favorite morning beverage.

We’ll do our best to ensure your stay with us is as pleasant as possible. Our many years of providing Tanzanian hospitality in Karatu and across the northern Tanzania safari circuit means we’ll look after you exceptionally well. No detail is too small when it comes to customer service. Our dedicated staff will ensure you have a wonderful time at your home away from home.
