Why we book it
Kitela is a boutique lodge on a coffee plantation in the hills outside Karatu: cottages with fireplaces and verandas, a pool in the gardens, a spa, and the plantation to walk through in the afternoon.
It carries the crater nights of our luxury Natron, Serengeti and migration safari, where the highlands deserve a slow evening.
Our mainland safaris quote this lodge or similar: a property of the same standard if it is full or has moved with the season. The exact lodge is named in your proposal, before any payment.
