Perfectly placed in Karatu
Just outside town, between Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, Oasis Residence is an easy base for the Northern Circuit. Explore by day, then come home to calm.
Ngorongoro Crater
The great caldera and its remarkable concentration of wildlife.
Lake Manyara
Forest, flamingo-lined shores and the escarpment of the Rift Valley.
Lake Eyasi
A quieter landscape and a window into traditional ways of life.
Tarangire
Ancient baobabs and some of the region's great elephant herds.
An intimate alternative
Not a large safari lodge, but a calm and personal residence. Linger on your private terrace, dine beside the pool, book a massage in your suite and let the evenings unfold slowly.
