Marera Valley Lodge is an elegant retreat nestled on the outskirts of Karatu town in northern Tanzania’s Arusha Region, beautifully positioned roughly midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, near the village of Rhotia. Set amidst lush, hilly landscapes of the Ngorongoro Highlands, the lodge features spacious double cottages surrounded by tropical gardens, each with a private verandah, fireplace, and en-suite bathroom. Guests enjoy panoramic valley views, farm-to-table dining using produce from the lodge’s garden and nearby farms, plus amenities such as a welcoming bar and lounge area (with a cozy fireplace during cooler months), a large reception and dining hall, a swimming pool, Rosemary Spa, garden walking paths, evening campfires, and Wi-Fi in common areas.
