About Martina Retreat

About Martina Retreat

Martina Retreat is a boutique lodge in Karatu offering mid-range accommodation in the Ngorongoro highlands. The property is owner-operated and takes pride in the personal hospitality that characterises smaller family-run lodges in this area. A swimming pool, restaurant, and bar provide comfortable downtime between game drives, and the garden setting creates a peaceful environment that is typical of the highland lodges around Karatu.

The retreat is well-positioned for Ngorongoro Crater day excursions and Lake Manyara visits, and the team can assist with arranging game drives, cultural tours, and other activities in the area. It suits independent travellers and small groups looking for a personal, unhurried stay in the Ngorongoro highlands.
