The Plantation Lodge nestles in the foot-hills of the world famous Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area. The Lodge (built in 1997/opened 1998), is family owned and run. Renate & Udo Marahrens bring their unique style of German quality living to create the ambience that makes Plantation such a special place to be. The “family-feel” extends itself into the staff that have been carefully selected and trained to ensure that your stay is comfortable.
