There are 52 chalet-style rooms at ground level, each with a private terrace or balcony over the gardens or the plantation. Hand-plaited thatch, wide verandas and colonial-style interiors give it the look of an old farmhouse. The main building holds a restaurant and a lounge, with a large terrace facing Oldeani, and there is an outdoor pool.
Much of the food comes from the farm's own vegetable garden. When the weather allows, dinner can be served on the terrace deck. In the afternoon there is a guided walk around the farm and the garden, and a massage cabin for after a game drive.
Tanganyika Wilderness Camps runs the lodge as a stop on the northern safari circuit. It is about 150 km from Arusha, roughly two and a half hours by road. We can build a night here into your route before or after the crater.
