Location:
 |
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is
the only lodge in the small yet diverse Lake Manyara National Park.
The lodge is located in the remote south-western region of the park,
allowing for leisurely tracking of the park's famous tree-climbing
lions and for unimpeded viewing of the flocks of pelicans, flamingoes
and buffalo cooling in the soda lake.
Although it is Tanzania’s smallest park, Lake Manyara is one of the
most diverse reserves in the country. The beautiful Lake Manyara
covers two thirds of the park, while the rest consists of steep
mountainside, swamps, dense woodlands, open grassy areas and hot
springs. |

Accommodations:
|
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.
The
interiors of the tree houses are a sumptuous combination of natural
fibres, pure cotton linen and contemporary furnishings. The bedrooms
consists of four-poster bed-like drapings and earthy, understated
accessories in natural colours and textures. Overhead fans and
mosquito nets as well as en suite bathrooms with baths and large twin
hand basins ensure that every comfort is attended to. There is an
exhilarating outdoor shower while the private verandas have
comfortable furniture and offer extensive views of the lovely forest
environment. |

Facilities:

There is a magnificent open-plan guest area with an intimate and cozy
atmosphere overlooking the forest boma, with enough seating for 20
people. Dodoma carvings, African artefacts and sumptuous fabrics and
prints are framed by banana-fibre ceilings and wood-panelled walls.
There is also a stylish lap pool
and a crafts gallery, which features a good selection of community
craftwork. Lake Manyara Tree Lodge also offers the classic Tanzanian
private butler service.
A
gleaming, chrome-accessorised interactive kitchen includes guests in
the preparation of delicious Pan-African cuisine. In the theatrical
boma (reeded enclosure), tandoori ovens produce heavenly cuisine.
Meals are enjoyed in the open-air boma, the dining area, on the decks
in the guest area or on the guests’ private viewing decks. Breakfasts
and picnics are also savoured on the lakeshore. |

Game Viewing
/ Activities:
| There are two daily game
drives in open 4x4 vehicles, lead by experienced rangers and guides.
The wildlife in Lake Manyara National Park is habituated to the
presence of humans and this makes our game drives and night drives all
the more rewarding. Maasai
naturalists and a ranger will lead you on bush walks in the vicinity
of the camp, providing an ideal opportunity for guests to learn more
about the fascinating fauna and flora in Lake Manyara National Park. |
