Tloma Lodge 4*

Tloma Lodge in Karatu, Tanzania is a small hotel from Tanganyika Wilderness Camps collection, boasting an exclusive location right near the Ngorongoro Forest. Committed to eco-awareness principles, Tanganyika Wilderness Camps choose the most exceptional surroundings for their lodges and mobile camps carefully and comfortably designed to conserve the pristine wilderness and ensure the quality of your stay.

Tloma Lodge faces the eastern slope of Ngorongoro Crater from a raised valley shoulder overlooking a splendid view of surrounding forestlands and the picturesque grounds of the lodge. Cottages are secluded among massive greenery, brightly blooming bushes and flowers, smart gardens and tidy fresh-green lawns. Coffee plantations visible from the lodge windows end in the sylvan wall of the Ngorongoro Crater. The lodge offers nutritious full board meals made of products produced on the estate that can be taken in a dining area, indoors or near the heated pool.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area, just some steps away from Tloma Lodge, will be the perfect place to start a memorable safari drive! An hour-long drive will take you to Lake Manyara National Park. These are homes to buffalos, giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, lions, cheetahs, servals, flamingos and many other African inhabitants. You can feel the intensity of the Great Migration passing here annually from December to February. Come here in early February when the calving season offers a great chance to capture lovable wildebeest calves and other baby animals with their magnificent parents!

Tloma Lodge on the map

Tloma Lodge is located in Karatu, a region with a vivid cultural background. Here you can find yourself right in the middle of the Maasai people’s daily life whose cow and goat herds can be seen near the town of Karatu on your way to the lodge. Local markets and villages will give you a glimpse of living in the midst of wilderness. Trips to the Lake Eyasi will guide you to meet the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes.

From here, you can tread in the steps of the Great Migration around Ngorongoro Conservation Area and further, on your memorable safari in the Ngorongoro Crater. Tloma Lodge is similarly perfect for those who want to spend a day in Lake Manyara National Park to see flamingos and pelicans - it is only an hour away. Safari in the Ngorongoro Crater would be particularly engaging in January and February as you can catch the calving season of wildebeest. The period from June to September is perfect for safari: vegetation becomes thinner, giving an easier chance to spot the animals. Lake Manyara National Park features peculiarly scenic views in the rainy November or spring months, with its lush vegetation and waterfalls, when huge populations migrating flamingos, pelicans, cormorants and storks are attracted to the lake.
