Escarpment Luxury Lodge

An exceptionally beautiful and thoughtfully laid out property, the Escarpment Luxury Lodge offers a true safari escape in the popular Lake Manyara National Park. The main lodge and chalets are set in a natural wild garden, perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

The main Lodge area comprises an inviting lounge and a charming bar, with the restaurant serving up a la carte-style meals, deliciously created by talented chefs. Guests can choose to dine on the main verandah which has been designed to capture the magnificent views. Bush meals are an exciting way to nurture one’s body and soul.

The swimming pool is beautifully appointed and the poolside bar means guests don’t have to go too far to quench their thirst. Guests can enjoy a spa treatment or massage during their stay or take some time out to browse the small gift shop. Excursions to cultural communities and activities such as a zipline adventure or canoe ride on Lake Manyara, plus the immense wildlife waiting to be discovered in the National Park, mean guests staying here will be entertained at all times. The small complement of chalets results in an intimate stay at Escarpment Luxury Lodge, organized through Adventure In The Wild Safaris.

With over 400 bird species and the fascinating pink flamingos that call Lake Manyara home, it is sure to be an exciting outing.
