Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

This property is gorgeous and the only lodge located within Lake Manyara National Park. You have the opportunity to be the first vehicle out on morning game drives and don't have to commute afterwards. Lake Manyara is a beautiful park sitting just under the wall of the Great Rift Valley. This can be a good stop enroute from Tarangire or Arusha towards the Ngorongoro Crater.

The wildlife in Lake Manyara can be a bit disappointing if you are coming from the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater. The luxury pricing of this lodge seems better spent elsewhere.  — Mango's view

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is set in the heart of a mahogany forest, and is the only lodge in the diverse Lake Manyara National Park in northern Tanzania. It is discreetly tucked away in an ancient mahogany forest in close proximity to the exquisite Soda Lake.

From soaring groundwater forests and a tranquil lake, to the mountain escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park boasts an incredible wealth of habitats and diverse African wildlife. Guests are offered an exciting, interpretive safari experience in game rich surrounds which include large herds of elephant and buffalo. The lodge, which was designed to exert minimal impact on the environment, is situated in the remote southwestern region of the park.

Cradled in the boughs of mahogany trees, 10 stilted tree house suites are a sophisticated blend of intimacy and romance, offering privacy and exclusivity in cool, leafy surrounds. Each tree house suite features large windows to invite the lush forest inside and a private game viewing deck overlooking the forest. The classically elegant rooms are fitted with contemporary furnishings in neutral colors and textures. Bedrooms have overhead fans, mosquito nets and earthy, understated features.

An interactive kitchen allows guests to observe the preparation of delicious Pan-African cuisine which may be enjoyed in the theatrical boma or on dining decks. Breakfasts and picnics are also served on the lakeshore.

Experience the magic of Lake Manyara National Park on exhilarating game drives, guided bush walks and exceptional birding safaris.
