With its spacious rooms, Marera Valley Lodge is a charming place to stay: each room has a large bed, a sitting area, a bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a private balcony. You find the lodge tucked away in a valley near Karatu, between Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The big swimming pool lies beautifully in the hilly scenery, and from all over the lodge you have panoramic views of the valley. Finally, the food here is delicious, because the owner is a chef himself!
