"Escarpment Luxury Lodge is a perfect stop-over for a couple of days. The place was peaceful and beautiful and served amazing relaxation and food.
The staff was amazing - especially Elly!

"Poor entrance road, without signs, but the place was beautifully constructed with old huge wooden beams in the dining area, good food, beautiful grounds, nice pool and helpful friendly staff"
"Hotel only opened 2 years ago and has a lot of potential . However , it's still lacking in details.
1) the path to getvto the hotel is rough and hard to navigate , 2) the reservation system is not up to scrap and need modernisation , 3) the built suffered in storm , 4) out driver didn't revive a lunch box where we got one from every other lodge .
The hotel can be great with small adjustment and attention to details "
"This hotel is outstanding. The food, staff, and room was marvelous. My only wish is that it had a view of the crater but the surrounding view from our room was delightful."

"Um dos melhores hotéis em que já nos hospedamos, foi incrível. Pessoas maravilhosas, fazem tu se sentir a pessoa mais especial do mundo, sempre felizes e prontos para ajudar. Quarto lindo, área comum linda, vista perfeita, piscina linda. A comida é muito boa!"
"Sehr weitläufige Anlage mit sehr gut eingerichteten Bungalows. Das Haupthaus mit Restaurants, Bars, Pool, etc. ist wirklich beeindruckend und besticht durch seine besonders geschmackvolle Einrichtung im Kolonialstil. Das Personal war weit überdurchschnittlich freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit in allen Belangen unserer Reiseorganisation"
"We had a wonderful experience staying at NJIA Panda tented lodge. The property is only about two years old, so everything in in great condition. We were the only guests one of the two nights and received exceptional service. The meals were great with serving sizes so large we were never able to finish. We initially had issues getting hot water and the staff immediately had a team out and got it fixed in no time at all. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area."
"Family 'room' was excellent.
However, for a December visit a bathroom heater was sorely needed and towel bars for drying towels.
Every resort should have a safety bar in shower for young or old!"
"We had a great stay at lilac hideaway but the thing that stood out most are the way they stepped up to help guests with travel plans
We rented a dud 4x4 and it would not start after we checked in - but Eli jumped in an d organized mechanics to come and then drove with us to take the car to the mechanics once they had gotten a new battery in. The car had no brake or transmission fluids and an corroded alternator wire - Eli stayed at the mechanic while we got some food next door
The mechanics...
"The room and the food was very nice and the staff was friendly. The pool-area need improvement, and I think the place need cosy sites both out in the garden area and in the restaurant. Places, where we could sit and talk or read. "

"An unforgettable start to my safari adventure — highly recommended!
I had the pleasure of spending my first night at Escarpment, Lake Manyara, and it was truly the perfect introduction to the beauty of Tanzania. The lodge is perched above Lake Manyara National Park, offering endless, breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding park — a true feast for the eyes.
The suite was exceptionally spacious, beautifully appointed, and designed to immerse you in nature without sacrificing comfort. What truly stood out, however, was the service: the entire team was warm, attentive, and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout my stay.
One of the most memorable touches was being escorted around the grounds by the Maasai security guards, who ensure guest safety due to the possibility of encountering wildlife roaming freely. In particular, one of the Maasai guides kindly offered to take me on a morning walk to watch the sunrise over Lake Manyara. It was an incredibly authentic and peaceful experience — we were even fortunate enough to spot an elephant wandering nearby, and the three of us stood together, quietly witnessing this magical moment as nature unfolded before us.
Special thanks to the wonderful staff: Vais (who handled my check-in with such warmth), Frank at reception who was incredibly helpful, and the gentleman who served dinner with such attentiveness. Every member of the team contributed to making my stay feel personal and memorable.

"This place was a special place for us. The team at Karatu really were special who did out of their way to provide for us when there were issues, and when the first room seemed to have issues (shower drainage, bee hive on the roof, urine smell) they quickly changed the room to a better closer room, and always were helpful in arranging or finding different solutions for transportation issues etc. The place is located 2 hours from Arusha, and around 30 mins from the main gate for Ngorongoro crater. It's right by the main road, so it's not hard to be dropped off or be picked up. However it has no main signage outside so it can be missed when arriving at night. The staff were really welcoming even though we arrived past 2100 the first night. The assistant manager Nassary and staff Christina were really the stars of the show for us. From our entire 2 weeks Kenya-Tanzania-Zanzibar trip, Karatu stands out from a peaceful quiet place we still talk about. The food isn't stellar, and the quality isn't anything to write home about, but they provide basic necessities and do make sure that you get your lunch boxes (even providing for drivers etc). and breakfasts if you leave early for a tour etc. There are equipment issues, the tent window velcro is old so some rooms will have issues of completely seal, or the shower booth is placed on wooden planks, making drainage hard. However, for the price. The place is a steal. Safari beer and liquor is cheap here (USD 3) compared to other hotels!"
