Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge

We had a wonderful stay at Neptune and truly enjoyed every moment. The infrastructure of the hotel is excellent — everything is very well maintained, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. Our room was outstanding: spacious, clean, and very comfortable. You can tell great care is taken to ensure guests feel at home. But what really stood out to us was the food. We had dinner at the hotel and were so impressed that we made sure to have lunch there the next day as well. The dishes were simply spectacular — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with attention to detail and care. The chef is truly talented and thoughtful, and it shows in every bite. The staff was also fantastic — well-trained, friendly, and genuinely eager to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. We would absolutely come back and recommend Neptune with our eyes closed. It was an excellent stay, and the food alone is worth a visit! Cheers to the chef!!!!

fantastic service. room has fireplace, sitting room plus day beds in addition to comfy king bed. hot water bottle to warm bed. spa available.

The lodge is well located next to the river, in which are residing hippos! That was such a great attraction as we could watch them from our tent deck and from the restaurant. The staff was very attentive and helpful. We had a great time and would highly recommend it!

This lodge FAR surpasses your highest expectations. Everyone is extremely attentive and welcoming. They go above and beyond in every aspect. Hobart our server was excellent and made our stay amazing. Food was great and love ordering off a menu versus having a buffet. We would love to visit again.

We stayed here for two nights in order to visit the world famous Ngorogoro crater. Located just outside the main gate , it is the perfect location to keep driving time to a minimum without incurring the major fees that lodges inside the gate must pay. The “room” was huge - bigger than every two bedroom apartment I have ever lived in. There’s a large sitting area (with a wood stove), big outside covered deck, ensuite bathroom and large bedroom with king sized bed , and another wood burning stove. We stayed in June - and a combination of winter evening temperatures and the altitude of the lodge, meant we used the wood burning stove on both nights ! The turn down service even included a hot water bottle !! The lodge itself, and the grounds / gardens are beautiful, and immaculately maintained. We heard wild elephants in the night . A combination of long days on safari and the cooler temperatures meant we didn’t get to try the very nice looking swimming pool. The staff are excellent , friendly, and helpful . Breakfast and supper were great , and the lunchtime safari “go box” was substantial , and you got to pick what went into it. If I ever get to come back to Ngorogoro- this is definitely where I will stay !
