Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is a compact, yet luxurious camp that settles peacefully within the heart of a beautiful mahogany forest and is the only lodge in the Lake Manyara National Park. The Lodge offers privacy and exclusivity in cool, leafy surroundings that instantly infuse the visitor with feelings of intimacy and romance. In fact, it was these beautiful vistas and surrounds that inspired the Ernest Hemingway novel ’Green Hills of Africa’ which he wrote following a month long safari in the area in 1933.

Dining is superb with delicious Pan-African cuisine being taken either on private decks or at a lakeside sala which is equally perfect for sundowners and picnics.
