"Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge review"
The dinners were delicious but unfortunately one of the dinners made us both sick. Nothing long lasting however. If I had to do over again, I would have preferred to be at one of the lodges along the crater rim.
We were not able to get into the crater as early as we wanted because of internet issues at the entry to the park." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania

"Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge review"
The management weren’t very helpful if you had an issue. The other staff were pleasant enough, and the food average.
The location is ok for access to the main gate for Ngorongoro crater.
The gardens weren’t as special as I had hoped. We did have a tour of the coffee production by a lovely guy.
Good for stop over but in hindsight we maybe wasted a day here as we stayed 3 nights. 2 probably better." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Plunge into the African atmosphere"
It is pretty close to the Ngorongoro crater (although not inside)." See all these reviews: 8n in Zanzibar; 6n in Tanzania
"Well-established and well managed Lodge"
Although everything was catered for it was more impersonal and our chalet a little 'tired'. Also a cuckoo was singing all night (both nights) and although you could hear it right through the camp nobody did anything about it." See all these reviews: 12n in Zanzibar; 8n in Tanzania

"Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge review"
Really enjoyed staying here. the grounds are amazing and it was great to jump into the pool after a dusty game drive.
Food was great (buffet) and we enjoyed making up our own lunch boxes each day.
Rooms were huge and well appointed." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania
"Fabulous setting on Coffee plantation"
A lovely pool if there is time to use it.
Rooms spacious and comfortable with water cooler/heater (slightly annoying as noisy), terrace with glass doors.
Great bird watching on the colourful flowers and trees." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
"Ngorongoro farmhouse"
"Tranquil and very convenient"
The rooms are huge and we really appreciated the offer of a fire and hot water bottles in the bed as it was not that warm when we were there at the end of June.
The dining room and buffet was excellent and the quality of the food very high." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania
