STAY CONNECTED IN THE BUSH! All lodges now offer Free WIFI Internet
Africa Safari Lake Manyara lies between the foothills of Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, but even more striking is its location, which could easily be mistaken for the middle of a national park. Because of the large number of animals that are permanently present on the lodge's premises, end of 2021 the area and its surroundings have been declared a Game Controlled Area (GCA).
The accommodation is a safari in itself with different room types spread across the various sites. The Luxury Glamping accommodations are reached by walking through the subtle bush to your own private 'safari cabin', complete with hammock, raised wooden deck, living room and beautiful rustic wooden interior. The premium bungalows share the same view as the restaurant area and you can't imagine being closer to the wildlife. The Safari Comfort accommodations are spacious, and comfortable, having exterior canvas walls, a concrete floor and a permanent bathroom.
The swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas is conveniently located near the bar and main buildings. The solidly built restaurant offers a magnificent view of Lake Manyara itself.
Africa Safari Lake Manyara is considered a wildlife lodge and overnight stays are subject to GCA fees.
If you are looking for a Safari Lodge located between the foothills of the Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara, then you have found the right place.
