Suggestive location overlooking the Ngorongoro conservation area

Pros: The location was stunning. Such a special place. The food was so incredible that I kept on taking double portions all of the time. Staff was very accommodating and kind. The swimming pool was a perfect cherry on top

Cons: The tents need a bit of care - they were not maintained well and might need upgrading 6/10

An Unforgettable Safari Stay: Stunning Lodge with Amazing Views and Exceptional Service

Pros: One of the best lodges during our safari! The staff was incredibly friendly, and we had great conversations with them. Their attention to detail was outstanding. They even helped me to get my toothbrush back from another hotel :) Good was so gooooooood. The pool area was amazing, and the views from the lodge were breathtaking. I don’t understand some of the reviews saying the tents are dark—you can literally open them almost all the way around without worrying about mosquitoes, as everything is covered with nets. The bathroom had a fantastic shower, and everything was spotlessly clean. We truly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer!

Cons: Literally nothing

Excellent staff, good food, and helpful management.

Pros: Breakfast was good. We enjoyed and felt like there was a good variety of items. The staff were excellent and helpful. The owner of the property was also very helpful and kind to us. We had a great stay and highly recommend this property.

Cons: The tents were a bit dim, but this also soothing. Other than that there isn't anything negative I can say about this property.

Excellent stay with excellent staff in a great location.

Pros: The staff and owners are very helpful, polite, kind, and welcoming. They helped to accommodate our dietary needs and they made everyone feel at home.

Cons: The tents are a bit dark. It would be helpful to have an additional light that can be turned on and off to brighten the room a little. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

Great value tented camp at the edge of Ngorongoro conservation area.

Pros: Located at the edge of Ngorongoro conservation area, Pembeni benefits from great views, relative isolation, and proximity to the forest. You can hear animals at night while waking up to impressive views. The staff is incredible attentive and accommodated all our requests. Food was good too with breakfast cooked to order until 10 am. The tents were in good shape with very nice furniture.

Cons: Rooms would benefit from additional electric lighting, specially in the bathroom.
