Welcome to Kankari Lodge, situated just outside Karatu town in the Ngorongoro Highlands. This cozy lodge sits right on the safari route, perfectly positioned midway between Lake Manyara National Park and the entrance to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Karatu itself is a traditional Tanzanian village full of things to explore—spend a day visiting local markets, brickmaking kilns, or hiking in the nearby Ngorongoro Forest. Coffee farms in the area also offer tours where you can learn about the cultivation and processing of the world’s favorite morning drink.

We are committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. With many years of experience in Tanzanian hospitality both in Karatu and across northern Tanzania’s safari circuit, we pride ourselves on exceptional care. No detail is too small when it comes to serving you, and our dedicated team will ensure you feel right at home during your visit.
