Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge Hotel

Karatu

Oldeani is one of several Wellworth properties at which we have stayed over several years and so we have a frame of reference to consider the features of Oldeani. What an exquisite lodge this is!  It is rather similar to the Wellworth Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge. The main building at Oldeani is spectacular and spectacularly decorated in an array of traditional furnishings mixed with African art and artifacts. The main dining room and lounge areas are baronial in character, very formal but still not stiff and unwelcoming.  The pool is formal, but the surrounding terrace is a wonderful place for afternoon and evening cocktails. From the pool area, one can see the outer wall of Ngorongoro Crater. The villas are spread out over a large garden area full of tropical flowers and trees. Each villa is elegantly decorated, continuing the theme of traditional furnishings accented with Africana. The service and cuisine are excellent, superior in all respects. If you do not wish to walk to and from your villa to the main building, the friendly staff gladly take you in a golf cart. This is a beautiful, sophisticated but welcoming lodge, something truly special on the safari circuit. The birds love this place too. You can see African lovebirds nesting in the rafters, while sunbirds and weavers are active in the gardens.

An exquisite lodge in all respects.

Such a gorgeous place to stay! The rooms were amazing, the beds were so big and comfortable. It was very pretty and well decorated and clean. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We wish we could have stayed longer - would definitely recommend a few nights here to really enjoy the relaxing facilities after safari. The food was excellent and we enjoyed relaxing in the bar after dinner. The infinity pool was lovely with local music being played. 

Relaxing luxury stay during safari 

Fabulous place, luxurious accommodation, great food, excellent service, lovely welcome. We really enjoyed our stay here and having looked at the photos online before booking I can say that the photos really do not give a true impression of how fabulous this place is.

Fabulous

After a full day's tour of the amazing  Ngorongoro crater, travelers may be ready for a comfortable retreat, and the Oldeani Mountain Lodge provides every possible comfort. The rooms are beautiful with great beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and even a.c. Dinner was five-star, both the service (thanks, Freddy) and the food, and breakfast was just as good. The pool looked inviting, but we didn't have time to try it.  The best sleep I had during our 13-day safari was in this lodge. Worth a 2-day stay!

A Luxurious Retreat

This place was top of line. From the moment we got out of the Land Cruiser we were taken care of. Anthony was the host and ensured no matter what was needed it was taken care of. I am not sure when he slept but it didn't matter what time or day we showed up to the main lodge he was there. I great person and a great host. The facility was top notch and immaculate. The food was 5 star for every meal. The rooms were extremely well decorated with attention to detail. I highly recommend this lodge an unforgettable experience.

Visiting Ngorongoro Crater

Best luxury stay near Ngorongoro.

The team is too good and the chef and F&B manager are the best; made sure we have every dish we wished.

Made lot of effort to satisfy our groups different food tastes.

The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The main lounge area gives a feel of colonial club.

Would recommend this place for a comfortable stay when in Ngorongoro park.

Luxury safari

Rooms were spacious and great. Loved how there was an outdoor shower with a great view. The people were very friendly and welcoming. There was a band in the evening by the swimming pool. It was great to have some drinks and relax there before dinner. Definitely, have a walk around the area! It’s green and beautiful! 

Beautiful 

Stayed one night at Ngorongoro O'ldeani Mountain Lodge after a dusty long day traveling from Serengeti National Park.  After spending two nights in a tent in the Serengeti, the lodge was shockingly luxurious.  The lodge has a beautiful dining room (serving good food), a gift shop, a bar and outdoor lounge area, a fire pit, and a pool.  A local band was providing music on the evening we stayed.

My one complaint was the bar.  I had a glass of red wine that tasted really cheap.  Later on, I asked for a Scotch whiskey - one of only a very few liquor selections available.  Got a glass with a tiny amount, for which I paid quite a lot.  I was not impressed.

Our room ("Tembo") was gorgeous.  Great bed, comfortable chairs, a fireplace, double sinks, and both indoor and outdoor showers.  This would be a very comfortable place to spend some time. 

The lodge is between the Ngorongoro caldera and Lake Manyara National Park, so it would make a good base to explore these two areas.

Luxury near Ngorongoro

Hyper luxurious. Very professional highly trained staff but likeable and easy going.

Very attentive staff (I was not used to this kind of attentiveness and found it invasive).

The chef and kitchen staff must also be very highly trained. The quality and variety of meals was excellent. All the staff were excellent.

Very lucurious

Oldeani is a luxurious lodge near the Ngorogoro Conservation area. The lodges are nestled on the grounds of a beautifully landscaped oasis.  The rooms,  amenities, food, and service at this hotel are top notch. We had two dedicated staff, Pascal and Justina, who catered to our every need. The manager, Joseph, and other staff like Anthony strive for excellence and have achieved it. It was a pleasure to have been their guests.
