Elewana the Manor Ngorongoro

My wife and I stayed at the Manor whilst on a Micato Safari. We were with a group of eleven exploring the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Maryana National Park. After exploring each day we were greeted with warm wet clothes to cleanse the dust off our faces and a hot bubble bath. Later after a 5 course gourmet dinner and social time we returned to our suite being greeted with fire in the fireplace and a bottle of non-alcohol (requested) bottle of wine. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and staff is exceptional. We would highly recommend staying here. Larry & Kelly St Johns, Fl

Unparalleled luxury and service in the hills of Ngorongoro We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our two-night stay at The Manor at Ngorongoro during our honeymoon. Located just 30 minutes away from the entrance to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, The Manor constantly wowed us with its beautiful grounds, fantastic lodging and attentive and caring staff. Located on the grounds of the coffee plantation, the grounds of the Manor are absolutely spectacular — offering a peaceful escape after a long day spent on a game drive. Some of our favorite memories are relaxing on the patio, smelling the roaring fire and enjoying a sundowner. (The espresso martinis are fantastic, as are the bar staff — who are a riot). The grounds are beautifully maintained and also fenced off, so no need to worry about wildlife entering the premises or escorts back to your room after dinner. The rooms themselves are absolutely wonderful, offering plenty of space, a fireplace that is lit up every night after dinner, and a luxurious clawfoot bathtub. Everything about our room was so elegant and relaxing. As for the staff, Aneth was so attentive in taking care of us at breakfast and dinner — helping us with anything that we needed. The food was immaculate, while the entire staff also treated us to a private dinner for our honeymoon on our final night — including a special assortment of our names decorated with coffee beans. Special shoutout to Altus for the fantastic wine recommendations, as well as Shariff — who was always cracking jokes whenever we saw him and was so friendly.. The Manor itself is a luxury accommodation straight out of a postcard, but it was the staff that really made our stay so memorable. We can’t recommend the Manor enough!

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Manor, we had an amazing stay, everything was excellent, the room, the staff, the meals etc, we did a day trip to the Ngorongoro crater from the Manor as it is easily accessible, it was a super trip, we really enjoyed our stay here, really superb.

Four days/three nights timed right in the middle of our other stays in different (wonderful) tented camps: it was still a very nice interludium to have in a solid building and accommodation in the middle of an age old excellently kept opulent garden and coffee plantation ! Excellent accommodations, very spacious room and ensuite and a brilliant overview from our terrace over the plantations and Manor’s horses, the (guided tour in) the coffee plantation by one of the plantation managers is a nice plus (even for non-coffee *******), the vicinity of the Ngorongoro national park is very accommodating. The warmly decorated lounge bar with open fireplace to start or end the evening while lingering over the day’s events is top. Our excellent guide Reginald tried his very best (with success) to avoid the crowded group safari places and did a terrific job. We enjoyed the impeccable service by our wonderful lady butler at the Manor’s restaurant, and the excellent chef and his kitchen team providing us with top notch culinary food. The wonderful treat on our last evening in the separate dining room, amazingly adorned for the occasion, with a lovely dinner ending in a wonderful and compelling African chant and cheers by the staff, is a lifetime memory.

We spent two unforgettable days at The Manor by Elewana, and we absolutely loved every moment. The property is stunning, with its beautiful Cape Dutch architecture and serene setting on a coffee plantation. The ambiance is both elegant and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. A huge thank you to the manager, Altus, whose incredible wine knowledge introduced us to some truly spectacular wines during our stay—each meal was paired perfectly. We also want to give a special mention to Charles, who took such great care of us and ensured we felt pampered throughout. The food was oh-so-delicious! It was the best food we had during our entire stay. The entire staff was amazing, always attentive and warm. We were genuinely sad to leave and hope to return soon. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish!

An excellent Base to tour the Ngorogoro Crater/Caldera. Superb facilities on the scale of a premier resort. Altus and Leche are the Management Team leading an outstanding Staff able to cater to your every desire. Meals are an art form in both taste and presentation. A wide variety of wines are available, courtesy of Altus's expertise. A special shout out to Sigi, our great Butler, and his Assistant, Charles. Bashu was our wonderful guide for this last part of our Safari adventure, providing great insights into the culture of the region. Having a delicious lunch in the middle of the caldera was a real treat!
