Karatu Simba Lodge offers a slice of life only to be found in rural Tanzania.

THE LODGE/CAMP:
Accommodation at Karatu Simba Lodge is in individual twin, double or triple cottages or rondavels with canvas walls and concrete attached bathroom and shower, tastefully and simply decorated with hand made furniture of African hardwood. Each unit has its own deck with safari chairs for relaxing and viewing the pastoral setting; from which you may see a troop of baboons foraging in the recently harvested barley fields or local ‘cowboys’ tending their herds. Fall asleep to the call of the bush baby and Montane nightjar.
ROOMS:
All rooms have a view of the forest, fields and far distant hills. Rooms at Karatu Simba are beautifully and simply decorated with local fabrics and hardwood furniture; the beds all have mosquito nets. Full amenities are provided. The lodge is eco-friendly with solar power and hot water, and there is a well-stocked bar (extra) and dining room serving food and coffee fresh from nearby plantations.
QUICK INSIGHTS:
Due to the solar electrical system, it’s not possible to use a hairdryer at Karatu Simba. We kindly request that you don’t attempt to plug in a hairdryer as in all likelihood it will blow the system resulting in loss of power to the entire lodge.
