Pros:

Eine besondere Unterkunft in einem Kloster. Wie erwartet ist die Ausstattung den Klosterbedingungen angepasst. Es ist aber super sauber und die Betten waren sehr bequem. Wir haben ein Upgrade von einem 3er Zimmer auf zwei Zimmer bekommen. Die Nonnen waren super nett, haben beim Wäschewaschen geholfen und haben einem unserer Mitreisenden auch eine Geburtstagstorte organisiert.
Am Bestenist die Lage der Lodge ca. 5min Fahrtweg vom Eingang des Norogoro Parks sowie das super Essen aus eigenem Anbau.
Sehr zu empfehlen.
Vielen Dank

Pros:

Außergewöhnliche Unterbringung in einem Kloster. Entsprechend außergewöhnlich ist die Stimmung dort. Die Schwestern sind sehr nett und warmherzig. Wir waren mit Kindern unterwegs und diese wurden ebenfalls ganz lieb mit betreut. Mit einem hohen Zimmerkomfort ist in einem Kloster natürlich nicht zu rechnen. Wir nutzten die Unterkunft für einen Zwischenstopp aus der Serengeti auf dem Weg nach Arusha. Für uns optimal. (Essen sehr lecker)

Gr4eat location, even better people, and excellent value where you are treated as personal guest
Pros:

Convent for sincere and kindly nuns with simple en-suite rooms for visitors. Amazing value with 3 meals a day included. Very close to entrance to Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife Park, and pleasant walks in the area. The nuns are so ready to do anything to serve their guests. Most of the food is freshly grown on their premises.

Pros:

The location of the place is exceptional - 5min from Ngorongoro Crater Main Gate. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the food is delicious (big portions!). Our 4-year-old son enjoyed playing in the courtyard and in the gardens and after leaving the place he asked when we would be coming back ☺️

Una experiencia hermosa e inolvidable
Pros:

El personal fue maravilloso! Las Hermanas muy cálidas, atentas, muy preocupadas porque no te falte nada.
Todo estaba impecable!

El lugar es maravilloso! Los jardines eran preciosos! Está ubicado en una colina hermosa al lado de la puerta principal del parque Ngorongoro.

En la recepción te ofrecen safaris excelentes y a buen precio.

Pros:

Невероятное место! Настоящий действующий монастырь! Очень круто!
О ужин и завтрак были восхитительны! мы не успевали столько есть. столько заносили в зал новых блюд!
Обед оформляют в ланч боксы - очень удобно, чтобы поесть в Серенгетти.
Персонал - восхитительный! мы даже были на мессе и сделали несколько совместных фото

Cons:

Сан узел. Это женский монастырь и здесь, наверное, не хватает мужчин. Нужно починить слив в душе и в унитазе.
