Plantation Lodge Karatu
Despite of not being at Ngorongoro Crater rim, this plantation lodge is good for those enjoying large impersonal lodges in Ngorongoro. Its found on the farm just below the Ngorongoro Forest Reserve.
The hotel is privately owned.from Lake Manyara. It’s a short drive, less than an hour’s drive from Ngorongoro.
The plantation lodge is on a working coffee and arable farm outside Kavuti.
It’s a small hotel with 16 comfortable and intimate filled rooms for a well-run home bush.
The rooms have very large and were decorated by some one with an eye of detail.
Top quality food and services are offered.
It has one of the most attractive climates at 7000ft above sea level, with hot days and cool mornings and nights. Though from July to early September, there is small amount of low cloud that hungs around the edge of the highlands, feeling more like Scotland in Africa.
After visits to Tarangire National Park or Manyara and Ngorongoro, its good to spend a night or 2. One can access Lake Eyasi Easily from here.
One cant see the animals from your bedroom, but you get to experience the wonderful climate taste. You can take walks around the forest to nearby waterfalls or to the farm land.
Pemba Afloat.
Its an ideal place for one looking for adventure on an island. Two 60-foot yachts moored in a remote inlet-the Njau Gap-at (Pemba Island), the Northern end which make up Pemba Afloat.
Found by Phillip Mason, a man who has knowledge of the area and years of experience, there is access to unspoilt sandy beaches that appear at low tide and are not accessible by land.
Many places claim to be wild, remote and unspoilt, but Pemba really is.
If you feel lie not staying on the yacht, then rather take a flying camp in the Selous Game Reserve. Few places are left in the world where you can experience such.
This works well when you spend a few days at Funde Lagoon for a bit of adventure and then back to luxury.
Within easy reach (the boats are moored) for some of the best diving locations like sheer walls that plunge a short distance from the shore for hundred feet and coral reefs.
Hum back whales mating were experienced by Phillip a few years ago, within a short distance from the boats, he saw spinner dolphins large groups cascading along the shore.
This place has a magical appeal even if you are not into diving, when you sit on the deck under the stars and sleeping on the boat. Looking at the water reflections, you start to believe that you are very far away from anywhere.
