LAKE MANYARA TREE LODGE

The lodge is set one of the most diverse parks in Tanzania. Located towards the north of the country, Lake Manyara National Park boasts an incredible wealth of habitats, from swamps and a tranquil lake to the mountain escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. In the heart of a mahogany forest in the southern reaches of the park, is the exclusive Lake Manyara Tree Lodge.

It takes the place of Maji Moto Tented Camp and has been designed to exert minimal impact on the environment. The lodge boasts 10 spacious tree houses cradled in the boughs of mahogany trees and is situated about a kilometre from the lakeshore.

The lodge is a sophisticated blend of intimacy and romance, offering privacy and exclusivity in cool, leafy surrounds.

The stunning landscape and surrounds inspired the famous American novelist Ernest Hemingway’s great novel “Green Hills of Africa”, which he wrote following a month long safari he took here with his wife Pauline in 1933.

Each of the ten tree houses have been built on stilts, in the boughs of ancient mahogany trees, discreetly tucked away in the forest. The tree houses 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.

This camp is often combined with its sister camps of Grumeti River in the Western Serengeti or Kleins camp in Northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Lodge in an exciting Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit.
