Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

    Beaches

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

The Manor at Ngorongoro

Karatu

The Manor is set high up in the Ngorongoro Highlands outside Karatu.

It is a forty minute drive from Manyara and about an hour and three quarter from the Ngorongoro Crater (day trips to both the Ngorongoro Crater and the Lake Manyara National Park are possible).

There are great views to the southeast over the Mbulu highlands to the edge of the Manyara rift wall. Being so high up (almost 7,500 ft) at certain times of the year, mainly July and August, this area can be very cloudy in the mornings, but this is no doubt one of the reasons the extensive gardens are so fertile.

The lodge is constructed in the Cape Dutch style and guests arrive into an impressive entrance hall in the main building. There is also a lounge with comfortable sofas and huge fire place, a bar area and piano. Meals can be eaten on the open veranda or in the smart dining room.

There are 20 rooms housed in Cape Dutch style buildings (two rooms in each cottage). The rooms are decorated in a classic style and are more like smart suites each with a living area divided from the bedroom by a double-sided fireplace. The en suite bathrooms have claw foot baths, huge showerheads and under-floor heating.

Activities from The Manor include walks on the farm, mountain biking and simply relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
