Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro

We stayed for one night at this absolutely wonderful Manor hotel for one night, and I wish it had been for longer! The location was superb! The gardens & plantations are mesmerising & above all the cuisine was Michelin-star worthy, with an excellent collection of wines! The fire 🔥 in the patio in the evenings looked romantic . My only negative comment is that the massage was expensive with $150 for one hour. But honestly can find fault at all My only negative

Beautiful and serene location next to coffee plantation. Excellent gourmet food and attentive service. Rooms very big and clean. The safari and culture guide Peter was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and sympathetic. He gave us memories for life. Activities at the Manor include horse riding and a coffee tour, both superb.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Manor, we had an amazing stay, everything was excellent, the room, the staff, the meals etc, we did a day trip to the Ngorongoro crater from the Manor as it is easily accessible, it was a super trip, we really enjoyed our stay here, really superb.

Four days/three nights timed right in the middle of our other stays in different (wonderful) tented camps: it was still a very nice interludium to have in a solid building and accommodation in the middle of an age old excellently kept opulent garden and coffee plantation ! Excellent accommodations, very spacious room and ensuite and a brilliant overview from our terrace over the plantations and Manor’s horses, the (guided tour in) the coffee plantation by one of the plantation managers is a nice plus (even for non-coffee addicts), the vicinity of the Ngorongoro national park is very accommodating. The warmly decorated lounge bar with open fireplace to start or end the evening while lingering over the day’s events is top. Our excellent guide Reginald tried his very best (with success) to avoid the crowded group safari places and did a terrific job. We enjoyed the impeccable service by our wonderful lady butler at the Manor’s restaurant, and the excellent chef and his kitchen team providing us with top notch culinary food. The wonderful treat on our last evening in the separate dining room, amazingly adorned for the occasion, with a lovely dinner ending in a wonderful and compelling African chant and cheers by the staff, is a lifetime memory.

This is, full stop, the best place we've ever stayed. The suite was exceptional, with its fireplace, sitting room and expansive patio. The grounds were beautifully manicured. The food and the service in the restaurant was top-notch, thanks to the wonderful Glory, who was attentive and genius at anticipating our needs. And after a long day of sightseeing, to return to our room where a hot bath was drawn, complete with rose petals was very welcome! Fantastic staff, beautiful property.
