Where to Stay

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

from $1,500 per person per night for 2026/27

Understated luxury and a true envelopment in nature
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania

Of the &Beyond properties Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is probably our favourite. It might not have the sheer wow factor of the Crater Lodge, or the luxury of Klein's Camp, but Lake Manyara Tree Lodge offers stunning seclusion and a real immersion in your surroundings that is rare for safari camps these days. Located right in the southern part of Manyara National Park it is worth bearing in mind that getting here is a journey in itself and so we recommend at least 2 nights here...but it is definitely worth it!

Beautiful rooms, great food/service, total immersion and seclusion

Price, lacks views out

About the location

A stunning property with a series of rooms on stilts, set out amongst the forests to the west of Lake Manyara. As you drive down through Lake Manyara National Park there is a rapid change of environment from the natural forests in the north, to the barren, scrubby and boulder strewn regions further south.

Coming over a rocky rise you are then confronted with virgin forest once more, and it is in this cool and serene environment that Manyara Treelodge lies.

Do see Parks & Regions on this page.

The communal areas of the camp also have a great little barbeque area out in front of the lounge and dining area and, with a small swimming pool. pretty much everything is covered. The only drawback that we would note is that there are no real views out to the lake…but this is a very small point.

Do see our new Lake Manyara Tree Lodge Picture Gallery further down this page.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge Accomodation

Each of the rooms sits at around 10 feet above the forest floor and has a large balcony running along the outside, with a small table and chairs in which to really soak up the atmosphere.

The room interiors wonderfully bring the exterior inside with opening doors and screens that allow the flow of air. Moreover, by using luxurious fixtures and furniture, you are made to feel as comfortable as is possible.

Wildlife & Activities at Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Lake Manyara National Park is often overlooked as a park. Part of this is that it is sandwiched between the Rift Escarpment and the soda lake that is Lake Manyara and, therefore, the drives tend to be into and back out of the park.

But, for those that commit to spending some time down in the southern regions of the park, there is some really great game viewing to be had ranging from plentiful birds of prey to the famous tree climbing lions of the “maji moto” pride.
