“A wonderful stay. The camp is situated in a wonderful location with stunning views. We received a very warm welcome. The restaurant is atmospheric. We had the opportunity to take a safari to the Ngorongoro Crater, organized by the camp. An unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back. ♥️ Best regards.”
Beautiful views and facilities, but limited value for money

“Nos alojamos dos veces en Rothia Valley Tented Lodge, en la zona de Rothia, cerca de Karatu, durante nuestro viaje al Ngorongoro y Serengeti. La ubicación es preciosa, con unas vistas espectaculares del valle que hacen que la estancia sea muy especial. La primera vez nos alojamos en una Deluxe Room tipo cabina con bañera en la terraza y la experiencia fue fantástica: la habitación era muy bonita, con estilo y encanto, la cena estuvo bien y el personal fue amable en todo momento. En general, el lodge ofrece un entorno tranquilo y cuidado que convierte la estancia en algo muy agradable y recomendable, especialmente si se elige este tipo de cabina.”

“Lage Mitten im Regenwald, dass muss einem bzgl der Tierwelt bewusst sein. Personal wie überall in Afrika freundlich . Zelte sind mit dem Notwendigsten ausgestattet. Gepflegte Anlage. Viel roter Sand. Abends Begleitung nach dem Dinner zum Zelt. Abendessen gut, Frühstück für Afrika normal.”

“This place was amazing. I didn’t know we are goinf to stay at the border of Ngorongoro we heard hyenas howling at night and elephants eating tree leaves during the day just in front of our balcony. I recommend stay longer and unwind they have really good cuisine here and water at the pool si so refreshing!”
