Kitela Lodge

Ngorongoro Highlands

Luxury + relaxation + African elegance

in a spectacular refuge in middle of the mountains

Kitela Lodge rises up on the hillside of a valley with beautiful views of a coffee plantation and a waterfall within the incredible highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It consists of 20 colonial style cottages surrounded by beautiful gardens, a coffee plantation and a working farm.

In the setting of the majestic mountains, this exclusive hotel is a haven of peace and comfort with all the attentions and the luxury of a traditional country villa. The relaxation the spa offers and its swimming pool are the perfect contrast to the intense excursions and safaris available from the lodge to the Ngorongoro area.

It has been designed and decorated in a modern African style that creates a fresh and light ambiance, very welcoming but with a touch of luxury.

Excellent hotel!

It was a big surprise!!! the rooms are luxurious, almost villas. The food is good, and the staff is very professional, especially Manolito who speaks some Spanish.
