Just wanted to thank you for your hospitality when we visited recently. We had a fabulous time and it won't surprise you that your lodge is up there as one of our favourites.
We loved Ndutu Lodge and when Maureen and I are back again (soon) we'd love to come to stay. At least we missed the appalling weather the UK had while we were away.

Greetings from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA!
I had the very good fortune to visit Ndutu Lodge in March of 2001. It remains one of the best experiences of my life - the people, the accommodations, the food, the fireplace - all top notch. I now visit your website on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoy your jottings about what's happening at the Lodge. It is my dream to be able to visit again someday.
Thanks again for taking time out of your busy schedule to write about the Lodge and all the amazing things that happen there. Someone like me truly appreciates your endeavour.

Coming back to Denmark to snow and below zero degrees we send you our hearty thanks for three wonderful days in Ndutu. Your hospitality was great, and we look back on the wonderful evenings sitting together at the fire under the African star sky. Now we enjoy the memories and the great pictures of the animals in Nduto and Serengeti.

Jambo ! Je préfère écrire en français, mon anglais n'est pas parfait! Avril 2000 : 3e séjour à Ndutu ! (1996 - 1999 - 2000 ) Inoubliable. Un émerveillement chaque fois plus intense. Particulièrement en avril dernier où tous les gnous de la Terre s'étaient donnés rendez-vous à Ndutu ! Ils sont irrésistibles. Il y a aussi eu cette nuit - au clair de lune - lorsque deux girafes sont venues brouter un peu du buisson de fleurs au pied de notre terrasse. Nous apprécions vraiment l'accueil si chaleureux et familial, le sourire de tous; les genettes de la maison, et tous les oiseaux "familiers" et les jolis vautours perchés sur l'acacia face au bar. Nous aimons cette solitude, la sérénité et la plénitude ressentie en ce lieu magique. C'est exceptionnel.
Des souvenirs particuliers ? Une genette qui, du haut du plafond a fait ... pipi sur le bras de notre guide et dans son assiette !! Une lionne à l'affût, accroupie dans les roseaux guettant les gnous et les zèbres; une autre faisant des grâces à deux mâles trop fatigués ou trop paresseux pour lui rendre hommage ! Un hyène dormant dans un buisson entourée de pintades picorant, bruyantes et indifférentes du danger. Notre arrivée involontaire (sur une piste du Serengeti) en plein milieu d'un troupeau d'éléphants, avec un bébé nouveau né et trois énormes mâles curieux et nous surveillant de très près. Nous sommes restés là près d'une heure avant de pouvoir nous échapper, sans dommages grâce à notre guide ... Et tant d'autres souvenirs encore.
Nous avons acheté dans votre jolie boutique deux ravissantes pintades en bois peint faite par un vrai artiste. Nous aimerions le féliciter. Encore une chose: nous avons la nostalgie de votre paradis et aimerions tant revenir !! Kwaheri !

Just a quick thank you to you all, for the wonderful few days in Ndutu. It was a very very special New Year, made possible by yourselves. The positive atmosphere and respect that's oozing out of all of you is just so palpable, a pleasure to get a glimpse of it and be part of it.
New Years Day Aadje was whow! Your knowledge, experience and respect for the environment was wonderful and even better for us that you are so willing to share it...Thank you!
I hope you have a really enjoyable high season and then get a chance to rest following that.

Thanks again for a wonderful safari. We loved Ndutu Lodge, it truly was the trip of a lifetime. Your hospitality and personalities made our time there special, one we will always remember. We ended up with some great pictures, even the leopard shots near dusk turned out well. We are giving presentations here to various groups and will be sure to mentions Ndutu Lodge to all.
Hopefully we can return to Africa someday. If we do, we will be sure to visit Ndutu and look you up again.

First of all thank you very much for your hospitality and all you did for us. We enjoyed our stay over there, especially our children are always talking about it. We never wanted to say goodbye to Ndutu. This was one of our most exciting safari we ever had.
We were very lucky in three days we saw 24 lions, with 2 hunts (already hunted) 13 cheetahs,with 1 hunt. and 4 of them were trying to hunt when we were coming out from the crater towards Sopa lodge. Unfortunately we did not see the hunt, 1 leopard, on a tree, 5 rhinos, lots of hippos in Serengeti, and in the crater in both the hippo pools. zebras, gnus, gazelles, lots of pretty birds and many more.
Once again we thank you very much and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Salaamu mingi to Marseli, Thomas and John and everyone else.
