Lodge in Karatu with bungalows and tented rooms

Kankari Lodge is a comfortable mid-range property in Karatu offering a unique mix of accommodation styles — permanent bungalows and tented rooms — catering to travelers who appreciate variety and an authentic bush feel. The lodge is set within natural grounds that blend into the surrounding Karatu landscape. The lodge features 12 rooms split between sturdy bungalow units and semi-permanent tented rooms, both with en-suite bathrooms and hot water. The bungalows offer a more conventional lodge experience while the tented rooms provide a closer-to-nature atmosphere. The restaurant serves hearty Tanzanian and international dishes, and the communal lounge and bar area provide a relaxed gathering space. Kankari Lodge offers excellent value for travelers on the northern safari circuit, with convenient access to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The dual accommodation style makes it a good fit for mixed groups where some travelers prefer solid walls and others enjoy the tented safari experience.
