The only lodge in Lake Manyara National Park, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is small, sophisticated and designed with classically understated chic in mind. Set in one of Tanzania's most diverse parks, the lodge is surrounded by habitats that range from lake to swamp and from forest to the steep escarpment that marks the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley.
The lodge lies a kilometre from the lakeshore tucked into a cool mahogany forest .Ten stilted treehouse suites with open-air showers and luxury bathrooms are cradled in the tree boughs, with large decks and a décor that combines bleached wood and woven palm in muted natural tones. Simple but delicious food is served either on guests' private verandas or in the forest boma.
The park is home to an extraordinary diversity of birdlife, especially waterfowl, as well as antelope, primates and predators. The famous tree-climbing lions are a magical sight, if elusive and there are plenty of buffalo and wildebeest to be seen. Morning and evening game drives in 4x4 vehicles, walks with Maasai guides and picnic lunches or breakfasts by the lake make for a memorable and scenic safari.
