Like Stumbling Upon an Oasis in the Desert... We pulled into the parking area during a passing thunderstorm and were welcomed with smiles and umbrellas and shown to our room with no delays. The location is outstanding with beautiful views in every direction. Water, trees, vegetation, flowers and lovely plantings mix with thatched roof, stone, wood beams and warm lighting.... more

We spent two nights at Ndutu Lodge in the beginning of January 2010 and had a very good time. We loved our little, beautiful and cosy cottage and the view of the beautiful surroundings: the acacia savannah and woodland with the lake as a backdrop. Lots of birdlife in the gardens, small animals like grass mice, a few wildebeests and... more

The Ndutu Safari Lodge is a cozy small lodge in the more arid region south of the formal Serengeti National Park. We were there in mid-November before sufficient rainfall generated quantities of green grass and other vegetation. Therefore, the area looked rather bleak in regards to promises of wildlife. However, pockets of birds and other fauna including lions, cheetah, hyena,... more

This was our first lodge we stayed at during our 4 days safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti. I was highly imprerssed with the eco-friendly Ndutu Safari lodge. The rooms are tidy and cosy perfect for after a long tiring game drive. The highlight of this lodge was the incredibly delicious food...a wonderful gastronomic experience. This lodge is unlike others I... more

My fiance and I did a 1 week safari in Tanzania, we stayed in camp sites and cheap hotels and when we got here it was absolute paradise! We booked trhough the safari company, asking to change a campsite in the middle of Serengeti for something better positioned for when we were going to visit that area. So for us... more

Very, very nice place. Charming management. Rooms (hard construction) very clean, nice restaurant with genets waiting for a piece of food (and to be takne on picture). The waiters will not hesitate to call all the eating guests to see an event outside: we had the chance to observe lions hunting a young giraffe. Nice atmosphere around a campfire outside.... more

We (family of 4p) have visited Ndutu Lodge among 6 other lodges/tented camps during our 11 days safari (with safisafaris) and consider this the best. The restaurant/bar area is very pleasant and all perssonel is very friendly and capable (things we sometimes missed at other lodges). We stayed for 1 night and had a good dinner and breakfast. The rooms... more

While we were at Ndutu in April, the wildebeest migration was in full swing all around us. We had great success on game drives seeing lions, cheetahs, giraffes, hyenas, flamingos, and countless wildebeest/zebra. So, in that sense, it was the perfect location. The room was clean and comfortable, but small and lacking any particular charm or character. Food is generally... more

Ndutu Lodge overall is a nice place to stay but there are some disappointments with the rooms. The rooms are laid out along a path in blocks, some are 3 rooms in a block, others are 2 & some are single stand alone rooms. The individual rooms appear to be all the same. Positives: As with a lot of Tanzania... more

Although Ndutu Lodge isn't as plush and fancy as some of the other safari lodges, what it lacks in luxury it more than makes up for in quality food. We opted for vegetarian the first night as they were serving beef and the staff remembered our preference for the duration of the trip. The vegetarian meals were truly a treat... more
