About Plantation Lodge

Plantation Lodge is situated about 30 kms from the Ngorongoro Crater. The place is very neatly tucked away on a coffee farm in the hills near to the town of Kiratu. When you get here you will see the beauty of this part of the world. Sweeping hills with thick green vegetation make you want to stay forever. This lodge has a very personal touch to it. From the minute you walk in, you are pampered by the local staff who are perhaps too eager to help you. The decor is a European African theme and all rooms are decorated individually. Beautiful gardens allow you some time alone and away from it all. They have a spectacular pool at the bottom end of the garden which overlooks the valleys below and is a welcome relief on those scorching African summer days. The lodge is basically a house that has been converted for guest accommodation. There are various little houses located around the gardens which guests stay in. One of the best features is a huge house which can accommodate groups or families.

Rooms at The Lodge

Dining room in the group house There are a total of 14 double rooms of which 6 can be converted into triples. All the rooms are individually furnished in varying themes. The most interesting is room 5, the honeymoon suite. This room has a special shower/ jacuzzi bath which has millions of buttons for the various settings. It is highly recommended for a romantic night. Further down the garden is the group house. If a group or family is traveling through Tanzania, then this is really recommended. There are 4 double suites, all en suite and a large dining room where the guests can have their meals. There are also facilities available for younger children.

Lodge Facilities

As this is a private home type lodge there is not much in terms of facilities offered. They do have a fantastic pool area and are currently building an outside entertainment section, but we have not yet seen the improvements
