Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro

Wow - we had an amazing stay at the Manor, the beginning of our safari adventure. It was perhaps the best service we've ever had. The lodge is beautiful, and Altus the manager is very nice and helpful. Our guide Peter and our butler Sherif were incredible. We spent two days exploring Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater and then a day enjoying the facilities at the manor. We went horseback riding, took the coffee tour, my husband went to the spa, and I went sourvenir shopping at Safari Land (which I would recommend) and then enjoyed the pool. We would definitely recommend The Manor!

We had a fabulous stay at the Manor! We enjoyed the delicious food and wonderful accommodations! The grounds are beautiful. You are surrounded by the coffee plants! We also enjoyed the coffee tour. Learned quite a bit about the coffee business! It was great!

Arrived tired after a days safari, welcomed warmly, our room was fabulous organised but our tour operator, the house reminds me of our South African home of long ago, beautiful gardens, and we had an exceptional dinner and enjoyed the peace and tranquility. A lovely coffee plantation. Lovely ...

The Manor is a superb, secluded venue from which to enjoy the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounds. My room was spacious and well appointed. The food was excellent with a 5 course tasting menu with a decent wine selection. The service absolutely outstanding. It’s a 2 hour drive to the crater floor so ends up a very long day but would thoroughly recommend!

We had an amazing stay here. This is a beautiful setting and a wonderful way to end our Safari trip. So very lush and verdant. There are brick walking paths to get around the property. When it’s wet, be careful as they are quite slippery, especially on the small slopes. Our coffee tour here was personalized and informative. We really enjoyed learning about the history and process of growing coffee here. The roasting of the beans just for us and tasting the coffee was a fun and delicious experience. Our butlers, Hesron and John have made our stay here first class. Their unobtrusive attentiveness and friendliness is to be commended. How quickly they understood our preferences. We had a beautiful barbecue lunch in the crater. What a surprise! The grilled food was delicious as were all of the accompanying sides. The setting was beautiful, the tables, tent and amenities were fantastic. Our last evening meal by the pool was very memorable as well as the whole staff came out and serenaded us. Again our butlers created a beautiful table setting for us as well as impeccable service. We’ll be dreaming of coming back to this idyllic place. Asante sana to all!
