Cozy and Authentic Experience Ndutu was the second stop of our safari adventure! We loved this place so much! The service, staff, food and accommodations were so great! We were nicely upgraded to an adjoining room for our daughter when we arrived. As we walked around the grounds, we saw giraffes roaming around in the distance as we sipped on our drinks! It couldn't get much better than that! They had a fire pit lit at night and it was so nice to meet other guests around the fire and share stories! We highly recommend Ndutu Safari Lodge for an amazing and memorable stay! We booked our trip through ATR and have been so happy with their service and the level of accommodations they booked for us!
100% recommendation!!!! We stayed here for 2 nights towards the end of our round trip. We were accommodated with 4 people in 2 rooms. We were all extremely enthusiastic. This lodge is absolutely fantastic and comes with a 100% recommendation. The property, the rooms, the food, and especially the staff are fantastic! It felt like home here.
Backyard Wildlife. We really enjoyed our stay at the Ndutu Safari Lodge. The bungalow we had was rustic, but spacious and clean. The seating and eating areas were perfectly positioned to view wildlife wandering through and past the grounds. The service and food were exceptional and they easily accommodated the different schedules for safaris. We would definitely recommend staying at this place.
