Ten stilted treehouse suites set in a mahogany grove above Lake Manyara National Park, the only permanent lodge inside the park's boundaries.
&Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge sits on stilts in an ancient mahogany grove, inside the Rift Valley escarpment that frames Lake Manyara National Park. Ten treehouse suites are raised above the forest floor, built from natural materials, with large windows that bring the canopy indoors. Elephants sometimes pass beneath the decks, and the lodge's elevated position gives a direct view into a forest few other camps can reach, since this is the only permanent lodge inside the park itself.
Lake Manyara National Park is known for its tree-climbing lions and its range of habitats, from the soda lake shoreline to groundwater forest and open floodplain, drawing over 400 recorded bird species. Days at the lodge are built around this variety: game drives in search of the lions and elephant herds, a night game drive, a bicycle ride through Mayoka village, a treetop canopy walk, and a cultural tour of Mto Wa Mbu. Guests who want to sleep closer to the bush can book a sleepout under the stars. Each room-night contributes to Wild Impact's work in the surrounding communities, where 70% of the lodge's staff are local and the programme funds conservation education and health care.
Rooms are divided between the standard Treehouse Suite and the Family Treehouse Suite, which sleeps up to four. Bedrooms are furnished in neutral tones with overhead fans and mosquito nets, and bathrooms have freestanding baths looking into the forest alongside an outdoor shower. Rates are quoted per person sharing on an all-inclusive basis, covering meals, house drinks, safari activities and a shared pair of Swarovski Optik binoculars per room. Healing Earth wellness treatments are available at an additional cost.
