Amazing experience

Pros: We have an amazing family experience. The lodge is located in a truly wonderful area close to the NP, surrounded by beautiful nature that makes you feel relaxed and connected to the environment. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, caring, and always ready to help. The safari experience was unforgettable. Visiting Ngorongoro NP and Lake Manyara NP was my kids dream. The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best possible experience, from spotting wildlife to learning about the parks. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Foresight Eco Lodge and Safari to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic safari experience in Tanzania. Many thanks to Ernest, Erick, George and all the staff.

Tropical Eco Paradise

Amazing place and staff. Definitely recommend!

Pros: The staff were the best. Loved the character of the hotel and the location and facilities were great.

Cons: We had to wait 5min for our hot water to reach the tiny home room which isn’t very eco friendly. I think a small electric hot water could be fitted to the bathroom.

A small and personal lodge with very friendly service

Pros: It is a lovely unique setting, we stayed in Honey Tree house which was very secluded and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, a great stay to go to the crater one day and just chill at the lodge the second day- hope to return

Memorable with so much kindness and love for the community, children, staff and the environment

Pros: Earnest and his team made us feel immediately welcomed at home. The backstory of this place is truly special and inspiring. We love it because it’s not your usual typical luxury safari lodge/ camp thanks to the vision of one determined woman Anita with her partner Earnest to bring Foresight’s vision to life. When you come to Foresight it’s about care kindness resilience community and giving back. Thats what I loved most about Foresight. The vision and spirit it was built on. Plus our family suite was just sooo lovely and definitely worth the full board package that we paid for. The hospitality of the team there was just so genuine and warm. I highly recommend Foresight if you are looking for a special place to support with your tourism money.

Cons: Nothing!

Foresight

Pros: Had a very nice stay in Foresight. Staff was very friendly, food was really good. Even the cook stepped by to check if everything was good. Room (Bungalow) was very spacious and clean. The lodge is located at the very end of the road, up the hill. Nice view over Karatu and quietly located. All in all a very good stay.

Cons: We did the Crater Safari with the lodge but we did expect a bit more of it. The price is high but the time inside the crater was quite limited. If we knew that before, we had done the drive ourselves to enjoy the cratertimes to the max.

Pros: Lovely boutique lodge with beautiful views, a relaxing setting and friendly staff (many of whom are from the local community and provided excellent hospitality).

Cons: Road is bad and steep in rainy season. Our safari truck got stuck in the mud for over an hour, it was a safari provided by an external company. 4 x 4 recommended.
