Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only permanent luxury lodge in this game-rich national park. Cradled in the boughs of huge mahogany trees, its ten stilted timber and makuti palm fronds treehouse suites blend intimacy and romance in cool, leafy surrounds.

The elegant bedrooms are fitted with contemporary furnishing in neutral colours and textures, overhead fans and billowing mosquito nets. Each treehouse suite features decks suspended above the forest floor and large windows invite the lush forest inside, best enjoyed from the free standing bath or from under the steaming hot water of an outdoor shower.

Being the only permanent lodge set in the remote southern region of the reserve, far from the park’s entrance gate, game drives explore areas of the park that cannot be reached by day visitors and your game viewing is unlikely to be disturbed by vehicles from other lodges.

Each morning and afternoon you will set off in the company of your guide and tracker team in an open 4×4 safari vehicle, exploring the many diverse habitats of the park, from the acres of flamingos on the lake to the woodland’s tree-climbing lions and herds of elephant.

It’s also possible to head out on night game drives, explore the lake on mountain biking excursions and meet the local Maasai and encounter the nomadic Mang’ati tribe on cultural visits.
