About Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge

Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge is the only lodge strategically located on the very edge of the vertiginous western escarpment of the Rift Valley, affording magnificent views down across the whole Lake.

The spectacular swimming pool, situated in a panoramic setting, is a privileged location to enjoy the invigorating fresh air and the breathtaking views of the Pink Lake. Let us invite you to discover one of Tanzania's best kept secrets.

Lake Manyara, a small breathtaking National Park with an immense natural richness - home of over 380 bird species, including the thousands of flamingos that tint the soda waters of the Lake pink and the famous tree-climbing lions, which for reasons unknown sleep in the branches of acacia trees.

Strategically located on the very edge of the vertiginous western escarpment of the Rift Valley, affording magnificent views down across the whole Lake. Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge invites you to an unforgettable safari experience from its privileged location, unrivalled by any other, both for game viewing and scenery.

Poor entrance road, without signs, but the place was beautifully constructed with old huge wooden beams in the dining area, good food, beautiful grounds, nice pool and helpful friendly staff

This is a lovely property that is more than adequate for a short stay. The grounds are beautiful, the views spectacular and the rooms are comfortable.
It had essentially two issues that would stop me from returning. The first is that the meals were not great. Most of the food is provided in chafing dishes and that just doesn’t lend itself to quality eats. It wasn’t that crowded so I didn’t even understand why at least main courses couldn’t be cooked to order.
The second was a total lack of detailed attention to room conveniences. The Internet in the whole hotel was very weak-even to the extent that hotel staff had to step outside to process a credit card. In this day and age there is no excuse for Internet that weak-it just isn’t that costly to provide good internet at least in common areas let alone in individual rooms.
There were also too few plugs for charging devices and very slow hot water. These things are all fairly easy to resolve if someone just cared to do so.
I would consider returning to this location if some of these items were addressed.

The location gives it automatically 10 points - it’s like in a dream! It’s a bit old but it has everything you need to feel comfortable and everyone was super friendly!
