Marera Valley Lodge is situated on the outskirts of Karatu town, near the village of Rhotia, roughly halfway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Conveniently located close to the main road, the lodge offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and rolling hills. Guests are welcomed with genuine Tanzanian hospitality and a warm, friendly atmosphere.

The main lodge features spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas overlooking the pool and scenic hills. Guests can enjoy a refreshing drink or a leisurely alfresco lunch on the wide verandah, unwind in the cozy bar and lounge with a fireplace during cooler months, and dine in the large, elegant restaurant. The main building also houses the reception area and a charming gift shop. Nestled in a tranquil garden corner, the Rosemary Spa offers massages and a range of relaxing treatments. The guest cottages are surrounded by lush tropical gardens, with walking paths that wind around the lodge’s expansive organic vegetable garden.

The skilled culinary team takes pride in preparing delicious and wholesome meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients—many harvested directly from the lodge’s own gardens and nearby farms.
