Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp
About Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp
Situated on the escarpment overlooking Lake Manyara, this camp offers sweeping views of the soda lake and the lush groundwater forests below. The landscape is dramatic, characterized by steep cliffs and verdant vegetation, providing a rich habitat for the park’s famous tree-climbing lions and massive troops of baboons. The accommodation consists of a mix of tents and cottages, offering a classic bush feel that highlights the natural beauty of the region. The camp is well-placed for excursions into the national park or local cultural visits. It provides an accessible, straightforward experience that emphasizes the spectacular geography of the Great Rift Valley, making it a memorable stop for travelers traversing the northern safari circuit on their way to the Serengeti.
Why we like it
The views from the camp terrace over the lake and the Rift Valley floor are genuinely some of the best in the region.
