Overview

Tloma is an attractive, rural lodge located in the Karatu area of Northern Tanzania. Situated on the raised shoulder of a valley, the property affords wonderful views across the surrounding coffee plantations towards the breath-taking Ngorongoro Crater.

The main building houses a pleasant lounge, dining area and viewing terrace. The beautiful gardens and large heated pool are a real draw, and a massage service is also available. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a change of pace and scenery after a busy safari schedule.

The range of activities on offer is superb, including visits to the forests of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, local waterfalls, and nearby farms and villages. Day trips to Lake Eyasi can also be arranged. Although the Ngorongoro Crater is quite some distance from the lodge and the property itself does not offer trips there, we tend to deploy vehicles for exclusive use with private guides, giving guests the flexibility to make the visit if they wish.

With 24 colonial cottage-style rooms and 12 more basic ‘garden-view’ rooms, the lodge is relatively large in size. All rooms are modest but spacious with twin or double beds, en-suite bathrooms and outdoor seating areas. Room and laundry services are available.

Children aged 6 years and up are welcome. There are 4 triple rooms, or 4 inter-connecting rooms depending on family requirements. The heated pool and lovely gardens are a real treat for families and a great place to rest between activities.

Tloma Lodge is a good quality, mid-range property in a peaceful and scenic location offering a wide range of activities and cultural experiences.

  • Dear Lisa. On behalf of the three generations of the Rowland family. Thank you, so much, for organising our wonderful holiday to Botswana and the Victoria Falls. The trip of a lifetime. The week mobile camping in the bush, with our guide Nandos and his crew was a fantastic adventure. How they manage to cook such wonderful food on an open fire is amazing. The sites were constantly visited by monkeys and once by elephants. We were even lucky enough to see two packs of wild dogs, once with a kill. Waterberry Lodge on the Zambezi River is a wonderfully tranquil place. Ideal to relax after the adventures of our safari and visiting Victoria Falls. Very many thanks once again

  • We had a great time - even with the flight between Governors and the coast being two flights and a car! We also experienced a power cut At Nairobi airport on the way home so 2+ hours late taking off. Governors. Wonderful people and dealt with the flight delay very well - taking us back and letting us know that we could stay there if the flight was delayed overnight. The game drives were excellent and our guide (Erick) obviously very experienced and managed to find all the key animals - no rhino in that part of the Masai Mara but everything else in abundance - never seen so many herbivores (many many elephants as well as all the others) as well as two prides of lions. Could not have asked for more. The ‘tent’ was excellent and comfortable and well serviced. The only ‘complaint’ would be that the food - especially dinner - could be improved (I think we got a bit bored of soup as a starter for every meal bar one) and the main courses were not at the same level as Kinondo Kwetu and while all were explained there was no choice offered. The breakfasts were just what was needed after an early game drive. Kinondo Kwetu. What a great location and the welcome when we arrived at just gone 11.00pm was better than you could have ever thought possible - they we’re disappointed that we did not at that time want the full dinner experience! The rooms we’re comfortable. The food was excellent but again no choice was offered - other than for allergy reasons (which we do not have). May be some choice would be nice. Having said that the food we did have was excellent as were the wines (albeit a short list!) and other drinks. There were (as you know) lots of facilities/sports options - but we spent our time relaxing which was exactly what we needed and there were lots of places to do that. Overall. We would go back to both places - perhaps a few more nights at Kinondo Kwetu next time but 3 nights at Governors was perfect for us. Thank you for organising and recommending both places. That you and your colleague for trying to find out about the plane (flat tyre) but communication by the flight company left a lot to be desired (Governors were furious that they were not told and had taken us to the airstrip).

  • It was certainly a holiday of a lifetime for us and we loved every minute!! The standard and location of each accommodation was excellent, as was the variety of each different accommodation type. Our schedule was perfect and we managed to achieve everything on our to-do task list. Your documents were also really helpful, as were the driving directions. We all thank you for making this such a wonderful holiday. Happy to leave a review publicly if you point me the right way. Best Steve
