| LAKE MANYARA TREE LODGE - LAKE MANYARA - TANZANIA |
|---|
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only lodge within Lake Manyara National Park. The towering escarpment of the Great Rift Valley is a breathtaking backdrop. The privacy of the location ensures near exclusivity of game drives in the southern section of Lake Manyara National Park. The Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, and 350 species of birds make for good bird watching, thus offering a great diversity of habitats. Open 4x4 safari vehicles are available. Sundowners and lakeshore picnics too.
Location
In the remote southern end of Lake Manyara National Park, northern Tanzania, &Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only lodge in the Park. Here the Great Rift Valley is at its most impressive, with the Escarpment dropping some 500 meters (1640 feet) down to the flamingo-rimmed shore of the lake.
Access
A number of scheduled airline services operate a twice-daily scheduled flight from Arusha Airport and Coastal Air operates daily flights from Dar Es Salaam – both to Lake Manyara airstrip, followed by a scenic 21/2 hour leisurely game drive to the lodge through the National Park.
Accommodation
Ten elegant stilted tree houses are cradled in the boughs of mahogany trees, ensuring privacy for all guests. Built of timber and ‘makuti’ (palm fronds), the interiors are bleached, earthy and stylishly understated. Rooms are spacious with sitting areas and viewing decks. Each room has en suite bathrooms with a bath, outdoor shower, twin hand basins and private w.c.
