![]() The national park was established to protect the elephants from danger and threats such as poaching.Īlthough it is smaller in size compared to other wildlife viewing destinations in the northern part of Tanzania such as Serengeti national park, Tarangire national park, and Ngorongoro conservation area, Lake Manyara national park offers amazing wildlife viewing experiences. Lake Manyara national park is known for having large herds of elephants which can be seen as tourists explore the destination. These tree-climbing lions can also be seen in the ishasha sector in Queen Elizabeth national park in south western Uganda. Tree climbing lions can also be seen during safaris in Lake Manyara national park and they are among the unique attractions at the destination. And NOT worth the money.Lake Manyara national park is characterized by acacia woodlands, savannah grasslands, a forested area, flood plains and also the rocky escarpment of the rift valley. This place is certainly NOT on par with any of the safari camps we stayed at. The entrance has a tattered "certificate of excellence" flag which I find hard to believe. What was less pleasant is that our first shower caused the entire place to flood! This was fixed but the lights in the bathroom went out not long after and being as tired as we were, we didn't bother having that replaced.ĭinner and lunch boxes are also mediocre. Our bungalows are a bit dated but that wasn't a big deal. ![]() Honestly, we had 10x better connection in the middle of the Serengeti. It would've been better to say we have no internet so we wouldn't have wasted the time trying to connect. Who honestly spent more time on his phone or watching the tv in the lobby than trouble shooting the terrible internet service. On arrival, we were greeted by Sam, the guest relations manager. The setting was beautiful and staff friendly but this property is the prime example of poor management. ![]() Out of our 8 day safari and 9 different lodges and mobile camps. In the evening, when we left our accommodation for dinner, we were escorted by a ranger with a gun to protect us against aggressive wild animals.Īfter a good breakfast, we were off to the Serengeti, but not after staff had supplied us with a sumptuous lunch box. From our deck, we watched a wonderful sunset. Great view of the Manyara plain and the evening ambience is unbeatable.Īfter a full day of site seeing at the Lake Manyara National Park, we were surprised to be housed at this well-appointed lodge for one night. Helpful staff, nicely decorated rooms (actually, the best mosquito nets I had on safari), decent food. Love it from the minute of our arrival till the last moment. Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp is excellent value for money, located just about 15 min for the park gate. If you are looking for a decent place to stay closeby to Lake Manyara, look no further. After dinner, armed guards escort you back to your accommodation.Ī wonderful place and definitely recommended. Then there is the outside relaxation patio and beautiful pool if you wish to take a dip, and the open view restaurant where a wonderful buffet dinner and breakfast is served. The bungalows have thatched roofs, queen size bed with netting, full amenities and ample toiletries, lots of hot water, and an electric fan for cooling. Wonderful location and ambience - your own private tented bungalow (double decker cottages also available) set amidst colorful hibiscus, frangipani and bouganvillas, and overlooking the vast rift valley expanse below where you can see groves of large Baobabs, Maasai people tending their cattle or carrying wood, and a fantastic sunset. And the room was nice as well, we were upstairs, so fresh, airy, we slept well. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner, we felt like guests of the previous century, very well behavior. Yes, we felt so welcome there, the staff was so kind and friendly. What People are saying Oh my baby, the best lodge over the Africa and only 3 stars?
