Overview

Lake Manyara is compact but full of surprises: groundwater forest, a treetop walkway, a soda lake that turns pink with flamingo, and the tree-climbing lions of its southern woodlands.

&Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only lodge inside the park, hidden in a mahogany forest. It is intimate and very romantic.

Highlights

  • The treetop walkway in the groundwater forest
  • Canoeing on Lake Manyara, water levels permitting
  • Tree-climbing lions in the south of the park
  • Two nights at the only lodge inside the park
