This rest of this post is about Booking.com, my current favorite service through which to find and book accommodation whenever I travel.

Since many of you come to this post looking for more information on Tanzanice Farm Lodge, I updated this post to begin with that. Let’s get right to it.

Recommended Hotel in Karatu: Tanzanice Farm Lodge (a Relatively Cheap Option for Hotels Near the Ngorongoro Crater)

TanzanIce Farm Lodge, located 12 kilometers from the Lodoare Gate of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, is a place I recommend highly.

A Tanzanian/Icelandic collaboration, TanzanIce Farm Lodge is a farmhouse located on an operational farm and fully fledged social enterprise.

It is very neat and clean. The customer service is among some of the best I have encountered anywhere in years!

The accommodation is simple and well-priced.

Trivago Zanzibar

On the online Trivago platform, you can browse and compare prices from various booking websites for hotels, resorts, and guesthouses in Zanzibar.

This includes a wide range of places, from luxurious beach resorts to budget-friendly stays.

Visitors to Zanzibar often search for beachfront properties, all-inclusive resorts, or unique boutique hotels that reflect the island’s culture and natural beauty.

Trivago allows you to filter based on your preferences, such as price range, star rating, amenities, and proximity to popular attractions like Stone Town, Nungwi Beach, or Jozani Forest.

Happy new year, dear reader!

I hope you had an awesome festive season and that your year is off to a great start.

As we begin another year, which I am sure we all hope will be filled with fun, beautiful, amazing (travel) experiences and adventures, I want to take the time and tell you about my most memorable travel discovery of last year.

It all began last summer as I was planning a 3-week family road trip across Tanzania. I sort of stumbled across it by accident.

After three amazing finds using this service, though, I think I can rule out luck now.

Let me tell you a little more.

Visiting Ngorongoro

As I was planning the road trip I mentioned above, I decided to take my own advice about where to stay when visiting the Ngorongoro Crater and cut costs by staying in Karatu instead of inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

As I told you in this post long ago, my preferred way to plan trips had been to use not only travel guides but more particularly Rough Guides because, in my experience, they were great not only at giving you fantastic travel information but also at breaking down accommodation options by budget.

With Rough Guides, I found it very easy to focus on just budget accommodation, luxury accommodation, or mid-range accommodation depending on what type of trip I was planning.

My first move in planning my “summer” roadtrip, therefore, was to buy the most recent version of The Rough Guide to Tanzania.

With that in hand, I felt ready to plan my trip.

Needing to Look Beyond the Rough Guide

When I looked up accommodation in Karatu, though, all the options listed were either too budget (and I didn’t want my travel companions to hassle me once we got there) or not budget enough (when you are on the road for 3 weeks, costs add up quickly)!

I decided to take a look at TripAdvisor.

I am not sure what it was about TripAdvisor, but after checking my options there, I felt I didn’t have enough information to make a decision I was confident about.

This is when I remembered my youngest brother telling me about some super-cool accommodation that he’d found through Booking.com for his last boys’s trip to Nairobi.

I thought I’d give it a try.

My First Experience with Booking.com

Very quickly I came across TanzanIce Farm Lodge, a lodge in Karatu that I had seen advertised many times on the internet for about a month or so prior.

It had VERY good user ratings, but I couldn’t find much else about the lodge online.

Their website didn’t look particularly professional. When I tried to call the numbers listed on it, no one answered the phone.

Hmmm…It wasn’t looking good.

Except…I didn’t have a lot of time left before my trip, AND…I kept seeing a message on the listing that said “Reservation possible without a credit card”.

Credit Cards not needed to book on Bookin.com

For many of you reading this, Booking.com is hardly newsworthy.

After all, it is one of the largest travel e-commerce companies in the world.

In my parts of Africa, though, where so much of our world is not mapped online and many online services require tools that many of us don’t have, such as credit cards, using an online booking engine to book accommodation in a dusty little upcountry town, is not an obvious choice.

My plan was simply to find options online, call the properties on the phone for more information and, perhaps only then, make a reservation.

After all, being Tanzanian, I suspected I could get cheaper local rates over the phone, rates that would probably not be publicized online.
