About This Accommodation

Wellworth Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge offers a peaceful, luxurious retreat in Tanzania’s northern highlands. Set on a picturesque hill, this five-star lodge overlooks Oldeani Mountain and the Ngorongoro Crater rim, with sweeping views extending towards Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara. Its 40 acres of gardens and local vegetation create a beautiful setting to slow down and enjoy the quieter side of your safari.

The lodge features 50 Deluxe Rooms and the Livingstone Suite, all with views of the surrounding landscape. Elegant furnishings and comfortable interiors make the rooms inviting places to return to after a day exploring. Whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends or with family, the lodge combines the comforts of a luxury stay with the atmosphere of the Tanzanian highlands.

Between game drives, enjoy a refreshing swim in the infinity pool, book a relaxing spa treatment or settle into the lounge with a drink. The impressive stone main building houses dining spaces, a boutique and a billiards room, while a children’s activity room gives younger guests somewhere to unwind. As evening approaches, the outdoor fireplace is a particularly welcoming spot to relax and share stories from the day.

Located approximately 9 kilometres from the Ngorongoro entrance gate, the lodge is well positioned for excursions to the Ngorongoro Crater. Lake Manyara and cultural visits around Mto wa Mbu can also be included in your itinerary. Back at the property, gardens that attract more than 130 recorded bird species offer another reason to leave time for simply enjoying your surroundings.

For travellers who want memorable wildlife experiences alongside time to rest, Oldeani Mountain Lodge is a lovely addition to a safari. An extra night gives you the chance to enjoy the pool, gardens and mountain views without rushing straight to your next destination. Tanzania Safari Experience can include this lodge in your private itinerary and check availability for your preferred dates.

Real expertise doesn’t come from a few trips to Africa. All our specialists have either been guides, run the camps, or grown up and lived in Africa. That’s over 50 years of genuine safari experience.

Tanzania - Safari - Experience

An unforgettable safari – thank you, Laurent and Praygod! We booked a nine-day private safari with Tanzania Safari Experience and could not have been happier. From the very first message to the end of our trip, we felt incredibly well looked after. Planning everything with Laurent was a pleasure. We had plenty of questions, and he always replied so quickly, with friendly, detailed and helpful answers. He listened to our wishes and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. Our guide, Praygod, made the experience truly special. He was such a pleasant person to spend our days with: knowledgeable, well organised and always happy to share insights about the animals and the Serengeti. We could really tell how much effort he put into making every day memorable. Laurent’s recommendation to spend an extra night in the northern Serengeti also worked out wonderfully for us. We enjoyed so many amazing wildlife sightings, and on our final safari day we experienced the most emotional highlight of all: a river crossing at the Mara River! It was an extraordinary moment and the perfect finale to our safari. Our camps and lodges deserve a special mention as well. All the places we stayed were excellent, with lovely rooms / tents and very comfortable beds. The food was delicious throughout the trip and even the packed lunches on our game drives were great. We felt very well looked after at every stop. Thank you, Laurent and Praygod, for the wonderful memories. For us, this safari was perfect, and we would happily book with Tanzania Safari Experience again!

We had Kunda as a guide and what can I say? He was so devoted to his job, we loved every second, he has such big knowledge of the wilderness in Tanzania and beyond and he always added the right touch of irony to keep us laughing during the 5 day safari with him! Totally recommend, thanks a million Kunda 🙏 Also, during our planning and booking we asked sooooo many questions to Laurent and he was always there to support us with our interrogations and make the best to make our dream vacation as true as it could be. Thank you for everything guys! You did really an awesome job and we will remember this trip for a lifetime 🤗
