Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge

Lovely view from lodge, we could have sat by the pool all day. Kids loved swimming and they had great food just for kids which is really nice. Had a wonderful massage, very relaxing after being out on so many bumpy, dirt roads. Nice rooms with comfortable beds.

We stayed in this property during our safari vacation in Tanzania. This lodge is an elegantly maintained property on the shoulder of the lake Manyara rift valley. The view from the lodge is excellent, and it offers a 180 deg view of the lake. It has a beautifully maintained lawn and an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the rift valley. The viewing platform and poolside bar offer great views as well. The rooms are standard-sized, with an ensuite bathroom and a balcony. We had two interconnected rooms for our family. The lobby is huge with full of exquisite furniture. The staff we found is amicable and welcoming. They always helped us whenever needed. The only thing I found about food is the limited choice. When we stayed, there were very few guests; maybe this is why the food choice was not great. The taste and portions were good, but as I said, the choice was minimal. However, I can downplay it a bit as long we fed well. I don't want to give them four stars for this but consider it 4.5. Overall, this is a great place to stay near Lake Manyara.

we really appreciate it and very well served especially in accomodation and food side all Staff are respectively with good manners,we do like the safari which was very remarkable especially in Ngorongoro was wow . thanks for having us. thanks yours faithfully Mariam John.

The location of this lodge and the views are absolutely stunning. The hotel however is very old and needs to be renovated. The views from the balconies are often obstructed by plants etc. The bathroom is very dark, the water is lukewarm. The food was really not good. The service was fine, the staff were warm and friendly. All in all not good value for money. We also had safaris organised by the lodge which turned out to be problematic as the drivers car was not registered and he didnt have a drivers licence so we were stopped by the police and had to wait about an hour at the police before we could go to the crater which is quite a big waste of precious time and it also made us very anxious .

Manyara Wildlife Camp is a great setting looking towards the lake. The tents are well situated and furnished. The main building offers a pool, a bar and open plan restaurant. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Fully recommend this place.

The lodge with permanent tent accommodations is located on the shore of Lake Manyara and hippos can be heard and, sometimes, seen in the water and on the grounds. Staff was friendly and helpful and food was good. Over two-night stay our water never got warmer than tepid but family members closer to a solar water heater had hot water for their showers. Escort with flashlight to and from the restaurant after dark was very nice.
