Traveller Reviews

  • Tour Name

    Loved the environment and a nice break in between the safari camps. At first we thought we wouldn’t like not being out in the bush but Sky Safari knows better and some relaxation was in order especially after a long day in the Crater. Our driver Baraka was great and again very knowledgeable. And our butler was fantastic and surprised us with a bath after our long day and stayed late into the evening one night as we talked with the friends we made on safari. Again, everyone there was great. I did the horseback riding for just 30 minutes and it was a nice way to see the coffee fields and views so I would recommend that. And I would recommend the lazier day to recoup before more adventure rather than going to Lake Manyara.

  • We then moved on to the Manor and this was a gorgeous spot the rooms are unbelievable and so are the rooms in the homestead. Food was fantastic. While we were out on a drive they radio ahead and advise we are on our way back and the butler has the bath full of hot water with petals on top. We toured the crater and just as we were heading home a lion decided to have a rest in the shade of our jeep so we stayed for a while then he decides to wander along the side of us while we are slowly driving along, fantastic and got it all on video. Didn't want to leave here.

  • The kid's (and us) absolutely loved the Manor. They felt like princesses there and even got to go horseback riding. It was a VERY luxurious end to a vacation. The Crater it beautiful but the animals were very disappointing after what we'd seen at the other 3 locations. But you can't go to that part of the world without going to the Crater..... it was beautiful landscape. The hotel was definitely the highlight at that location.

  • The Manor at Ngorongoro Lodge was amazing.

  • We loved every minute of it. Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and our stays at the Treetops, the Manor (unbelievable place, we were speechless!)

    Linda Dauriz, April 2012
  • Manor at Ngorongoro (they prepared special private dinner for us) and Escarpment Manyara Lodge (they were really caring about us after we got wet under rain during night safari). As I said before we felt special attention for us in each of the hotel we stayed and we enjoyed and appreciated it! The safaris were unforgettable. We saw a lot of animals even rhinos and leopard and also lion on a tree and giraffes fighting! We took thousands pictures every day!!

  • When we got there it took our breath away. It was in the top two of properties from the trip, including Escarpment Lodge. The property was amazing with horse stables, a wonderful pool, and open areas everywhere. Set on a coffee plantation, the views were amazing. The property had a wine cellar, a billiard room, a movie room, a bar room, and outdoor areas to sit and eat. Our room was fantastic. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for us, and our laundry was taken and done for us that night.

    Alex Yoffe, January 2012
  • This is very luxurious. They had hot water bottles in the beds! We all enjoyed the pool and a massage after quite a long drive (1 1/2 hours) to the rim of the Crater. We had a good vehicle which had pop-up roof and big windows.

    Rosemary Hogan, February 2011
  • Your selection of accommodations was fantastic and each one had their own unique characteristics that we will always remember. At the Manor, we were amazed at the opulence; The service at all of these places was excellent: it was genuine and it seemed as though the people were very happy to have us as guests. The food at all of these places was first class!
