The only permanent luxury lodge in Lake Manyara National Park, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is a collection of magnificent tree houses built on stilts nestled in ancient mahogany forest.
There’s nothing childish about these structures however; the 10 luxurious guest suites at this secluded camp boast beautifully appointed bedrooms, open-air showers and free standing baths that appear to be completely immersed in the lush greenery of the tree canopy.
The lodge also has an inviting pool, furnished decks floating high above the forest floor, an interactive kitchen and an atmospheric open-air ‘boma’ encircled by a wooden fence. It also has a fleet of open 4WD vehicles to take you out into the surrounding bush by day or by night.
Discover the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its pink flamingos and tree-climbing lions. Over 400 species of bird have been recorded in this park, while buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, elephant and hippo are all commonly observed. Guests at this lodge are also able to encounter local tribes such as at the nomadic Mang’ati and the Maasai on a bicycle tour or village excursion to gain some insight into local traditions and culture.
