About the Hotel
On 50 acres of unspoiled bushland at the entrance to Tanzania’s famed Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge offers an intimate safari retreat that combines authentic African character with refined luxury. The lodge features just 20 spacious suites, each approximately 130 square meters and designed in a traditional wood log-cabin style that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Guests enjoy private terraces overlooking the forest, cozy fireplaces, elegant living areas, king-size beds, and personalized butler service, creating a secluded sanctuary after a day of adventure. The intimate scale of the lodge, coupled with its location just minutes from the Ngorongoro Crater, allows travelers to experience one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations without sacrificing comfort or exclusivity.
Safari experiences are at the heart of every stay, with the lodge serving as an ideal base for game drives into the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Crater, home to the Big Five and some of Africa’s densest concentrations of wildlife. Back at the property, guests can enjoy farm-to-table dining featuring ingredients grown in the lodge’s own gardens, romantic bush breakfasts and sundowners, and immersive cultural experiences that highlight the traditions of the region.

Amazing stay at Neptune Lodge!
Oil not have asked for a better experience. The staff is outstanding and service top notch. The resort is beautiful and our room was gorgeous.

Luxury stay at Ngorongoro
We had an incredible stay for two nights. We stayed in suite 19, the porcupine, which was absolute luxury with two fireplaces, a large amount of space, and a deck with a wonderful view where we saw three wild elephants each day. Location is very close to the crater entrance. Food was delicious and staff was delightful and attentive. They even found a Tanzanian wine for us. We would stay here again!

Neptune NgoroLodge Luxury Lodge-Experience in East Africa
Everything about this lodge was perfect — the location, the food, the rooms, and the staff. Ngorongoro is already one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and this lodge makes it even more special. Highly recommended

Very Pleasant Stay
We are a family of 3 and we stayed at this beautiful lodge 2 times during our Northern Circuit Safari. Both times were excellent - we were looked after and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. Special mention to Nobert, Mwinyi, and Gift who made our stay extra memorable. Christopher, the manager, was approachable too. The suite was very cozy and large with a nice forest view. The Maasai also toured us around the property where we saw the Maasai Boma and the property’s farm. It was amazing to see some buffalos around the property as well! The food was excellent with various choices. They accomodated our requests well. It was a special moment when the whole staff celebrated our 10yrs wedding anniversary by singing and dancing. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and we will miss the friendly staff of Neptune Ngorongoro!
