Kitela Lodge

Kitela Lodge is a small exclusive lodge, situated near Karatu in the foothills of Ngorongoro Highlands overlooking a coffee plantation and with views over the dramatic backdrop of the Ngorongoro Crater forests. The lodge is about 18km from the Ngorongoro Lodoare Gate. Therefore it has a lot going for it as a base for exploring the Ngorongoro Crater.

KiteIa consists of 20 cottage rooms, offering a relaxing, quiet atmosphere surrounded by beautiful gardens.  All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with built in showers, large beds with mosquito netting, telephone and internet access.

Dining takes place both inside and outside, while drinks are available from the cosy bar. Guests have an ample choice of food prepared with home produced vegetables. The lodge’s gardens are ideal for taking a leisurely stroll, while the heated swimming pool in front of the main building is perfect for relaxing both in the warm waters and on one of the surrounding sunloungers!

Other facilities that are available include the African Spa offering a selection of treatments for relaxing the body, mind and soul. Activities available at the lodge include guided walks around the farm, the village and in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
