"Ngedere Lodge is nicely situated in Mto wa mbu as an ideal base for Safari game drives to Manyara Lake, Ngorongoro Crater and even the Serengeti National Parks. I had the half board package. Erick cooked great food with a range of pancakes, omlettes, sausages for breakfast and the loads of options on the evening. Numerous local dishes, like Ogali and international greats including pizza and chips, burgers, etc. The rooms were clean with warm showers - great for familes and solo travellers. ...

The ancient volcanic crater shelters Africa's densest concentration of wildlife, where safari vehicles track lions, rhinos, and elephants across grassy plains. Rangers at the conservation area can guide you to viewpoints overlooking flamingo-dotted Lake Magadi and Maasai villages near the crater rim.

The clear skies provide fantastic visibility for photography, and the thinner vegetation makes wildlife tracking more successful.
