andBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is built on stilts into a groundwater forest of mahogany and fig trees, tucked into the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment beside Lake Manyara, one of the more architecturally distinctive lodges on Tanzania’s northern circuit.
Elevated suites built into the forest canopy on raised platforms, each with a private veranda facing the surrounding trees, finished in a restrained, natural style.
A strong, contemporary dining programme served among the treetops, drawing on andBeyond’s broader design and service standards across its African portfolio.
Game drives through Lake Manyara’s groundwater forest and open lake shore, along with the park’s noted tree-climbing lion sightings when conditions align.
Lake Manyara is known for its dense elephant population within a compact park, its resident hippo pods, and an occasional, well-documented tendency for its lions to climb into acacia trees.
The park’s dense forest canopy produces a different, more filtered light than the open plains elsewhere on the northern circuit, well suited to close-range forest wildlife and birdlife.
andBeyond supports Lake Manyara’s forest conservation and community programmes in villages along the base of the Rift Valley escarpment.
