Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only lodge in the small yet diverse Lake Manyara National Park. The lodge is located in the remote southwestern region of the Lake Manyara, allowing leisurely tracking of the park’s famous tree-climbing lions, and for unimpeded viewing of the flocks of pelicans, flamingos and buffalo cooling in the soda lake. It covers two thirds of the park, while the rest of the ecosystem consists of steep mountainside, swamps, open grassy areas and hot springs.

Accommodation

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge offers 10 tree houses which have been built on stilts, in the boughs of ancient mahogany trees, discreetly tucked away in the forest. The tree house have been crafted from local timber and makuti (palm fronds) and feature large open decks and spacious rooms with large windows to invite the flourishing forest into the luxurious elegance of each room. The interiors of Lake Manyara Tree Lodge tree houses are a sumptuous combination of natural fibers, pure cotton linen and contemporary furnishings. The bedroom consists of four poster bed-like drapings and earthly, understated accessories in natural colors and textures.

There is an exhilarating outdoor shower while the private verandas have comfortable furniture and offer extensive views of the lovely forest environment.
