Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Destination

Lake Manyara

Most people think that the famous tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara have developed their climbing habit to get away from annoying insects. At &Beyond, we have our own theory - they’re jealous of our magnificent treehouse suites at Lake Manyara Tree Lodge! Cradled in the boughs of an ancient mahogany forest, the lodge blends into the natural beauty of its breathtaking surroundings. The only lodge in Lake Manyara National Park, it offers an exclusive wildlife experience with only ten luxurious yet intimate suites located in a remote corner of the reserve. At Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, it is our passion to share our knowledge and understanding of the bush and its inhabitants with our guests. Our highly trained guides will do their very utmost to delight our guests on the following adventures:

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge Amenities

Each suite is a lofty tree house with private veranda and large windows that open up to the lush forest, welcoming in the sights and sounds of the African bush. Woodchip paths and natural branch railings blur the edges between the natural and the manmade, while wooden interiors and thatched roofs invite the surrounding forest indoors. Spacious bedrooms and sitting rooms float in a sea of green, opening up onto a leafy canopy. Even a soak in the large, free-standing tub offers a panoramic view, with an open air shower behind a simple bamboo screen.

Area Attractions

Twice daily game drives - go in search of Lake Manyara's famous tree climbing lions and vast herds of elephant on early morning and late afternoon / early evening game drives accompanied by an expert ranger. Head out on game drive as the dawn breaks over the walls of the Rift Valley and the animals begin to stir. Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only lodge in the national park and, as it is far away from the gate, guests do not frequently encounter other vehicles while on game drive, particularly early in the morning. However, they may be lucky enough to spot a pride of lion guarding the remains of last night's feast or a cheetah heading back from the hunt. Large herds take advantage of the cool morning hours to graze before the heat of the day. On late afternoon game drives, guests can watch the sun slowly sink over flocks of flamingo on the shores of Lake Manyara.
