Marera Valley Lodge, located on the outskirts of Karatu town about midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, is close to the village of Rhotia. Convenient to the main road, this elegant lodge has stunning views over the valley to the hills beyond. We look forward to your visit when we can offer you true Tanzanian hospitality and a warm welcome.

Our large main building has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating areas with views of the pool and the beautiful nearby hills. Enjoy a drink or an alfresco lunch on the spacious verandah overlooking the pool. Relax in the bar and lounge area with a cozy fire in the cooler months, and take your meals in the large dining room. You’ll find the welcoming reception area and gift shop here as well.

The Rosemary Spa is located in a quiet corner of the garden and offers massage and other treatments for your relaxation. The cottages are set in lush tropical gardens, and a walking path circumnavigates the extensive organic vegetable garden.

Our well-trained chefs take pride in creating a selection of tasty, healthy dishes, all from local produce sourced from our own garden as well as nearby farms and plantations.
