Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge

Wonderful location with scenic views. Buildings constructed in the 1960s but still beautiful, some improvements should be made to bathrooms and sidewalks around property but otherwise everything very good. Very clean, good food, good staff, loved the raspberry mousse dessert !

Lake Manyara wildlife lodge is nestled at the rim of the rift valley escarpment wall with magnificent views of the Lake. All rooms of this beautiful lodge are facing the lake giving you mesmerizing views. If you enjoy getting close to nature this lodge offers all you wished for, great hospitality, delicious food, excellent and friendly service and a sense of calmness, needless I say more! For sure the rooms could probably use remodeling, but it is nothing that can stop you from enjoying the ambience, and the surrounding peaceful environment. I have stayed in March / 2024 and can’t be any happier with the services they provided. On March 14 after Serengeti we traveled to Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge, with a stop in Karatu for visiting the shops. Unfortunately it got dark so fast and it was raining so bad that we could hardly see the road or the sign for the lodge. It was impossible to travel on the dirt road, and my guide took a wrong turn, getting us stuck in the mud in the middle of the road making this super dangerous! I contacted the lodge, and they did an amazing job to send us a car, but that car got stuck on a different road, then the General Manager of the lodge Ranjeet Singh Sehgal came personally to rescue us and again he himself got stuck in the mud! This took forever and the rain continued heavily! I believe we contacted the lodge at around 8:15 PM, and it took until 11:30 PM until we were able to finally get help. I can’t thank enough to General Manager Mr. Ranjeet Shegal and Mr. Stainley Manjeka enough for not giving up on us and for trying so hard to rescue us in this impossible situation. When I got to the wildlife lodge the Chef had prepared delicious food and was waiting, everyone was in place: the Chef, bartender, the receptionist and directors! It was 11:50 PM when I arrived at the lodge. This was very impressive considering the time! Wonderful hospitality ! You will not get service like this anywhere with friendly, and patient people. My special thanks for the office in Arusha to Purity Munge who kept me calm and patient. It was a terrifying experience while waiting! It will be a very good idea that the Sign for the Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge is visible to drivers. Please see that you will work on it! I have visited several times, and I will always send my guests to stay at this lodge who are always happy with the choice. Thank you so much for a great team and the services provided and I can't wait to go back with my clients.

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.

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.
