After 4 hours minimum dirty and really challenging drive from last spot of civilization (wherever is your departure, South near Ngorongoro or East, Arusha or Namanga) you will enjoy the toll organized by the local government, the central government, and the representatives of the 4 districts crossed the previous hours, so 6 guys there asking for a total of 170 usd for 2 adults and one car, by day, before any entrance in the village. And I am not even sure they would have let us get back (by night, in the desert) without paying the fee. Of course when you have accepted such extortion, the village will have its own additional fees for any kind of 2h activity, around 20usd each, by person, not including the at least 40 usd fee for guide that is totally uncessary but compulsory. Just one advice, change your plan before it's too late. Last thing, they say eco village, but they water the lawn 24 hours a day with a 15cm diameter pipe opened continuously, in the middle of the desert.... The view on the volcano on arrival is nice, but still you regret this

The location is wonderful. I was curious about the Lake Natron and its surroundings. I found it full of wildlife, history (the footprints of our ancestors), kind people, and a very special scenery. I enjoyed my stay a lot.

Nothing. I enjoyed my stay. Even the internet connection at the dining area was quite good considering the remote location. The toilet in my house seemed blocked, however, I could use the public toilets without problems. I informed the staff about the issue with toilet in my house and hope it was fixed before next guests arrived.

There is a pool and the staff is very friendly. The food was very delicious.

We had to fix the tent again and again. Internet and electricity were bad.

very open people, polite, friendly, helpful, no begging Ingrid open and happy

Nastanitev z lepo urejeno okolico.

For every little thing you have to pay some sort of local fees which are quite high. Even for just the visiting the place (Lake Natron) it is mandatory to pay same local taxes beside the government taxes.

-food -near the lake and waterfalls

-bad Wifi connection -cold in the room, i would need more blankets -i couldnt see any giraffe or animal around

Beautiful location, kind and helpful staff, coffee with giraffes was a major positive!

I highly recommend this place. The stuff is super nice, we also got an amazing dinner every day and general the local is very beautiful!

This place exceeded our expectations. It is very isolated, but they all make you feel very welcome. Nice and relaxing. I would recommend this hotel if you have the time. we explored the lake in the morning and then did the waterfall in the after noon. Don't miss it.

I have nothing negative to say on this hotel, beside it is in the middle of no where, which is to say it is very hard and long trip to get too. but worth it in the end for sure.

Best accommodation for people visiting Lake Natron and Waterfall. Everything is functions as it should.

Wifi is limited, they don’t accept card payments
