Kitela Lodge sits gracefully on the hillside of a valley overlooking a coffee plantation and a waterfall, framed by the towering highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Nestled in lush gardens, this intimate retreat combines elegant cottage-style accommodation with refined Tanzanian hospitality.
With 20 colonial-style cottages built amid a working coffee farm, Kitela Lodge offers a tranquil yet sophisticated base for safari travellers. Guests enjoy beautifully furnished suites, farm-to-table dining sourced from on-site gardens, a spa, and swimming pool — all set against the backdrop of the crater wall and vast highland vistas.
Kitela Lodge offers 20 exquisitely designed cottage-style suites, each with en-suite bathroom, comfortable beds (double/twin/triple options), mosquito nets, private terraces and magnificent views over the plantation and highlands.
Amenities include a swimming pool, spa offering massages and treatments, restaurant with meals sourced from the lodge’s own gardens and farm, lounge and bar, and guided walks around the farm, plantation and local village.
Situated on the eastern face of the Ngorongoro Crater wall, Kitela Lodge overlooks a coffee plantation and a waterfall, and is roughly 18 km from the Lolduare Gate of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
At Kitela Lodge, guests can wake to the rustle of bushes, sip coffee grown on the estate, take a guided farm or plantation walk, then head off for a full day safari in the crater or surrounding reserves. As afternoon winds down, relax by the pool, enjoy a spa treatment, or take in sunset views from your balcony. The intimate size and refined atmosphere make it especially suited for travellers wanting comfort, nature and a little indulgence without extreme luxury.
