A small and
exclusive lodge facing the Oldeani Volcano, only 5 kms. from the Ngorongoro
Lolduare gate was built, meant to offer our clients an original experience
reminiscent of the atmosphere of the old days.
Ngorongoro Farm House was inaugurated on February the 20th 2003, and is
offering 40 huge cottages with ample space inside, built on the style of an
old colonial farm and rustically decorated with local materials and full of
details of good taste, with the purpose of offering our clients an imaginary
journey to the life of the days gone.
Ngorongoro Farm House is a perfect stopover within any safari in the
Northern Circuit of Tanzania and a privileged place to visit the Crater or
enjoy a bunch of activities: Like a walking safari to the adjacent forest
leading to the Oldeani Volcano or an excursion to the nearby Lake Eyasi in
the Rift Valley, still inhabited by a tribe of hunter-gatherers, the Hadzabe,
a relic of ancient times who still follow a style of life similar to the
humans who inhabited the Earth before the discovery of agriculture.
Another interesting tribe are the Datoga or Barabaig, also called Mangati
(fierce enemy) by the Maasai who expelled them from the Ngorongoro Highlands
during their unstoppable advance to the south some time in the XIX century.
A visit to the village of Karatu or the Njia Panda school, rehabilitated
with the contributions of our clients, can also make the day of anyone
interested in cultural interaction or in helping to the development of the
rural communities of Africa.
