Lake Manyara Lodges

The Ultimate Guide To The Best Lodges And Camps In Tanzania's Lake Manyara National Park

Ernest Hemingway called Lake Manyara "the loveliest lake in Africa", and we can say, hand on heart, he was not that far wrong. A small park (in comparison with other parks within Tanzania) that can be traversed within a few hours but enjoys a diverse environment and nothing short of spectacular wildlife and birdlife. With habitats ranging from the rift wall, groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, grasslands, the shore of the soda lake known as Lake Manyara.

Lake Manyara National Park is one of those safari destinations worth visiting, especially for the wildlife and scenic photographic opportunities that abound. The National Park is perfectly paired with the Ngorongoro Conservancy, The Serengeti National Park and the Tarangire National Park in what is known as Tanzania's northern safari circuit.

Flamingo, rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, hippo, elephant and zebra, now add in the backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment with groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, grasslands and the shore of the soda lake. Lake Manyara National Park is a photographer's paradise and has to be added to all safari itineraries, including Tanzania.

Safari activities on offer include; game drives, night drives (lodge dependant), walking excursions, birding safaris, photographic tours, and cultural and local school adventure trips. Each of the below lodge options offers something different in terms of safari activities; please, contact us if you are looking for something unique. We will most certainly be able to assist in that department.

The Tanzania lodges and safari camps in the below portfolio are some of the best on offer, all with spectacular locations and views, excellent service and guiding, and beautiful wildlife and birdlife sightings on game drives. Lake Manyara and surrounding areas are so impressive that we would suggest a stay of at least (an absolute bare minimum) two nights, with three to four nights being the perfect amount of time and for one to explore, experience and photograph most of the national park.

At Uyaphi.com, we have selected several of the best Lake Manyara safari lodges and camps within the national park and surrounding private conservation areas in Tanzania's northern safari circuit.

Enquire and book your Tanzania safari that includes the magnificent Lake Manyara National Park and all that it offers.
