Kensington Endoro is a lovely lodge, and like all lodges in the highlands area, it serves a great purpose for those on safari around the Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara. It is a great value, and the rooms are superb.

However, we still recommend Plantation Lodge as the preferred alternative or Gibbs Farm if you’re looking to spend a bit more.

If everything else is booked, the Kensington Endoro is a solid last-resort option and will not affect your stay in this area.

Kensington Endoro -Ngorongoro 

This permanent lodge is set on the foothills of the Ngorongoro highland forest just outside of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The location offers excellent access to the crater and Lake Manyara. Being close to Karatu also allows for trips to the local markets and cultural visits.

Each chalet offers several bed configurations, from king to single, with valet service available.

Double doors open to your private verandah, offering spectacular views of the sunrise and the Ngorongoro forest below.
