Fantastic overnight

What an amazing stay. We were the only people that night yet there seemed to be more than enough staff willing to help with all we needed. Not to far from the crater so one can easily stay at Neptune and drive into the crater for a day visit. The food was terrific and nothing was an effort. Polite and well spoken staff. We felt like Kings and Queens. Thank you to all at Neptune.

    We booked our trip via Planet Africa Safaris which was great. On our way to the Ngorongoro Crater we stayed 2 nights at Neptune. The experience was excellent. The quality of the accomodation and the set up in hti sgotgeous valley is a pure dream. Very nice staff, food was good and innovative and drinks helped us to recover from a day in Heaven ! The hotel is very close to the entrance to the Park and I would highly recommend the location.

    I normally do not do luxury hotels but this was part of my safari package. Fabulous 3 bedroom unit with deck and stunning views and great staff and food. Very close to the crater and a great swimming pool. They don't charge for drinks (they are included) and the staff are very willing to serve you.

    Room tip: all the rooms look good

    We really enjoyed the resort. It is conveniently located just outside the Ngorongoro conservation area so you only paid park fees for the days you are in while you can enjoy the lake Manyara or just enjoying the resort the other days. Excellent and accommodating hotel staff even, especially important when staying with 2 small kids.

    I have stayed in this lovely lodge on my to Serengeti. It is a great place to stay. The rooms have all a living- and bedroom with a fireplace and at least a huge terrace with amazing view.
    The atmosphere with the colonial style is very beautiful.
    At nighttime the fireplaces were lit and a hot-water bag was in my bed.
    I would definitely stay here again.

    My wife and I spent 2 nights at the Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge during our honeymoon and it was arguably the most beautiful destination we visited! The lodge overlooks a valley and has a clear view to the west for some spectacular sunsets. We watched the sunset by the pool one evening, and then on our private back porch with a glass of red wine the second night.

    The lodge is extremely well kept and manicured, the staff is beyond accommodating and friendly, and the food is out of this world good! Each meal comes with a bread bowl that contains a plethora of delicious breads and treats. The rooms are spacious and gorgeous - the living room and the bedroom each have a fire place. One of the nights we asked the staff to make us a fire and it made for a perfect end to the a great day. Each night, the staff places a hot water bottle in your bed, just for extra warmth - it was a great touch! I would recommend this lodge to anybody traveling as a couple or with a family!
