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.

Reviews for Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge

Honeymoon Stay

Reviewed 3 days ago

We had an amazing time here on our honeymoon! Muni took care of us and was so accommodating. Everyone goes above and beyond here. We had a room with a jacuzzi overlooking the landscape and the room was so beautiful. They had special touches for our honeymoon and we especially loved that they put warm water bottles to heat the bed before we went to sleep (so nice when it was a bit chillier). We wish we could have stayed longer! 1 night was not enough!! Thank you!

A dream!

My only regret is that we had longer to stay here! Absolute luxury. The cabin was enormous with a beautiful overview to watch animals come down from the hills. The meals were delicious with several options and the drinks were delicious. Everything was done with purpose and intent by this staff. Would highly recommend.

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

Reviewed 1 month ago

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!
