Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge

Had a great stay at Exploreans, Ngorongor lodge

We just spent two nights @ Exloreans and it as really a superb hotel, we were two adults and three children and we felt totally pampered at the end of our stay, our hosts even seemed sad to see us go. We were in suite # 20, which is in a great location, separate from other cottages/suites. Stanley, the lodge manager, is really a credit to the Exploreans brand, he runs the lodge like a smooth Swiss watch, and nothing is too much trouble for him. The F&B manager, Adigon, is also amazing - always ensuring that my three children were well catered for so far as food and drinks were concerned, even reminding me about extra milk for my baby when we went on long trips. I would recommend this hotel to anyone (and have already done so in my office). Well done Stanley et al.

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.

This hotel was an oasis for us following an "extreme" safari in very challenging weather. It is a brand new property, set just outside the main gate to Ngorongoro Crater, thus combining the best of both worlds (easy access, but not having to pay excess fees). The service was impeccable and the two room suite cottages nicely furnished and very comfortable. All inclusive with excellent food, good wine and local beer. Can easily recommend. Resident-friendly.

beautiful setting, comfortable, spacious and beautiful cottages, very good and efficient service by the friendly staff, good food (however they could work a bit on their desserts...). I have never before experienced this level of service and luxury in Tanzania.

Exploreans only opened a year ago.As a regular traveller I could not fault this hotel.The rate includes full board and the chef is exceptional.Room and property surroundings lovely.Staff very friendly as well.

Thankfully I opted for the all-inclusive package, which included very generous portions of food and wine at each meal. The food at the lodge was overall outstanding (other than the packed game drive lunch, which could have been improved significantly), and the hospitality of the staff is second to none. My room had a huge balcony overlooking the ridge outside the crater and cozy faux fireplaces in the bedroom and sitting room. Bedding was quite comfortable by African standards and the property felt very safe. Excellent massage/spa services provided by Grace!
