Why we book it
Marera Mountain View is a lodge in the hills at Karatu with cottages set for the view: the farmland of the valley below and the forested rim of the highlands across it. A pool, a quiet bar and an easy road to the crater gate in the morning.
It is the Karatu night on the Ultimate Natron, Ngorongoro and Serengeti safari and the crater-and-Serengeti highlights trip.
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.
