Accommodation

Cottages and safari tents near Lake Manyara

Tucked between the trees are eleven cottages built in traditional African styles and materials — singles, doubles, triples and a family cottage with interconnecting rooms — furnished in an intimate, comfortable way with locally made furniture. To complement them we have two luxury safari tents with ensuite bathrooms and verandahs.

All accommodation has electricity and power points for charging, hot water showers and flush toilets, and is fully mosquito-screened at the windows with nets for the beds.

Camping

A large campsite under the acacias

Travelling overland or self-driving with your own tent? A large campsite area is available inside the same fenced, guarded grounds as the lodge — with the restaurant, bar and pools a short walk away.

Staying longer?

Weeks rather than nights — for work, research or slow travel.
