Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro is a luxury country-style lodge located in the lush highlands of Karatu, on a large coffee estate near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania. Unlike crater-rim lodges, it sits in a cooler, green valley setting surrounded by rolling hills, plantations, and gardens, offering a peaceful break between intense safari days in Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti.
The lodge is designed in an elegant Cape Dutch manor style, inspired by old colonial farm estates. It features spacious cottage suites with fireplaces, private verandas, large bathrooms with bathtubs, and tasteful interiors combining antique charm with modern comfort. Guests also enjoy a main manor house with lounges, dining rooms, a bar, and beautifully maintained gardens, along with a swimming pool and spa.
Travelers choose The Manor for its relaxed luxury atmosphere and high level of service. It is especially popular as a “rest stop” lodge during Northern Circuit safaris, offering horse riding, coffee estate walks, crater excursions, and excellent fine dining. The quiet environment and spacious layout make it ideal for honeymooners and guests who want comfort after long game drives.
