Kitela Lodge

Overview

Nestled on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands, Kitela Lodge offers an elegant retreat set among lush gardens, a working coffee farm, and a cascading waterfall. The colonial‑style cottages just 20 in total feature earthy charm blended with modern African design, each with en‑suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and private balconies offering sweeping views toward the crater wall. In the central lodge, you’ll find a restaurant, lounge, terrace, wellness spa and a refreshing outdoor swimming pool all powered sustainably with solar energy.

Perfect as a tranquil base for exploring the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Kitela is only about a 30‑minute drive from Lolduare Gate, offering easy access to crater safaris, guided walks, and cultural excursions. After an adventurous day, unwind with farm‑to‑table meals, organic coffees from the plantation, and an indulgent massage overlooking the dramatic highland scenery
