Ngorongoro Lodge

“Our stay at Meliá Ngorongoro was one of the most pleasant surprises of our Tanzania trip. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. The views over the Ngorongoro landscape are spectacular and unlike anywhere else we stayed. The lodge has a warm, cozy atmosphere that reminded us of a luxury ski lodge, with beautiful wood finishes, inviting common areas and incredible scenery in every direction. One of the standout features was the lounge area. After long safari days, it was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a drink and take in the views. The overall design of the property creates a welcoming and comfortable environment that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. The food was exceptional. In fact, it was probably the best food we had during our entire vacation. A special mention goes to the chef from Uruguay, whose work was consistently outstanding. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, with excellent quality, presentation and flavor. The culinary experience exceeded our expectations and became one of the highlights of our stay. The service throughout the hotel was equally impressive. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, attentive and genuinely eager to help. The hospitality felt authentic rather than scripted, and the team consistently went above and beyond to ensure guests were comfortable. The only minor drawback was the size of the rooms. They are on the smaller side compared to some of the other safari lodges we visited, and for a longer stay we might have preferred a little more space. That said, it is easy to understand why the hotel was designed this way, as it allows more rooms to enjoy the incredible crater-facing views, which are undoubtedly one of the property’s greatest assets. Overall, Meliá Ngorongoro delivered a wonderful combination of spectacular scenery, outstanding food, exceptional service and a unique atmosphere. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Ngorongoro area.”

“​Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt in der Ngorongoro Lodge member of Meliá und sind immer noch ganz verzaubert. Das All-Inclusive-Konzept ist erstklassig und lässt absolut keine Wünsche offen. Das Essen schmeckt fantastisch – großes Lob an die Küche! Ein weiteres Highlight ist der wunderschöne, gemütliche Poolbereich und die tolle Sauna, die man beide komplett kostenlos nutzen kann. Perfekt, um nach einem aufregenden Tag zu entspannen. ​Die Zimmer bieten einen absolut atemberaubenden Ausblick direkt auf den Ngorongoro-Krater, den man einfach selbst erlebt haben muss. Was diese Lodge aber wirklich besonders macht, sind die Menschen dort. Man merkt an jeder Ecke, mit wie viel Liebe und Herzblut das gesamte Team bei der Arbeit ist. ​Ein ganz besonderer, tief empfundener Dank geht an die Guest Experience Managerin Emma Clarke. Sie hat uns die Möglichkeit gegeben, die Lodge von einer ganz anderen Seite zu erleben, und uns ein wundervolles Upgrade in die Royal Suite ermöglicht. Vielen Dank für diese unvergesslichen Momente - Ihre Gastfreundschaft hat uns tief berührt.”

“Je reviens d’un séjour de trois jours absolument inoubliable au Lodge Meliá Ngorongoro avec ma fille… et honnêtement, il n’existe pas assez de mots pour décrire ce que nous avons vécu. ✨ Dès notre arrivée sur la terrasse, avec cette vue incroyable sur le cratère, nous sommes restées sans voix. Le décor est tout simplement époustouflant. Chaque instant passé là-bas semblait irréel. La chambre était magnifique, confortable et pleine de charme. La cuisine… un vrai régal du début à la fin ! Et que dire de la gentillesse et de l’accueil de toute l’équipe sur place ? Un service exceptionnel, chaleureux et attentionné qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus magique. Sans oublier notre guide extraordinaire, qui nous a emmenées dans les meilleurs endroits pour admirer les animaux et vivre des moments uniques au cœur de la nature. Un immense merci pour ces souvenirs (Translated by Google) I just returned from an absolutely unforgettable three-day stay at the Meliá Ngorongoro Lodge with my daughter… and honestly, words can't adequately describe what we experienced. ✨ From the moment we arrived on the terrace, with its incredible view of the crater, we were speechless.
