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

Ndutu Lodge advertises itself as a lodge with tonnes of character, great food and charming atmosphere. In fact it's in a ok location, the rooms are pretty basic (the most basic we stayed in during a week's safari, in five different lodges), the food is average at best and the staff - on the night we stayed there - weren't... more

Fantastic!

Ndutu Lodge was absolutely magical! We stayed there for two nights, and witnessed some great animal activity in the area. The staff were friendly and the rooms felt a bit more like home than the lodges we had visited previously. One morning we got up to se the sunrise (and we had a very early gamedrive) it which is quite... more

Loved it here. Room was great, shower even better. So good to be able to sit outside our room looking out over the lake, watching the Fisher's Lovebirds as the sun set through the trees. Loved the dining room and bar/lounge areas, a great deal of charm throughout, very 'homely' in a cosy, reassuring sort of way. Staff great, so... more
