AndBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Discover an escape into nature unlike any other when staying at the AndBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, a destination unto itself. Nestled in the wilderness of a Mahogany Forest, the treehouse suites sit high offering a captivating lost-in-nature ambiance. Enjoy the rustle of an elephant perhaps passing beneath.

The kitchen at the Lodge is open-planned, allowing guests to watch delicious cuisine being created, and then dinner is served in a dining area set up in the main Lodge area, or on the privacy of the suite deck. There is a sparkling swimming pool where guests can unwind in between game drives, and a ‘gym-in-a-bag’ option for guests who wish to work out during their stay.

A small safari shop is on site where guests can look for that ideal souvenir, or guests can visit a local Maasai community during their stay. Nights are spectacular with an option of an open-vehicle night game drive, or simply to sit in the small comfortable sitting area or around the crackling campfire and enjoy a nightcap from the charming bar before retiring for the evening and doing it all again the following day.

Location

AndBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is located in Tanzania’s Lake Manyara National Park, a three-and-a-half ‘game drive’ through the park to the Lodge. Guests can fly from Dar es Salaam Airport which will take approximately three hours, a 40-minute flight from Kilimanjaro Airport, or a 30-minute flight from Arusha Airport. If guests want to drive from Arusha, they will have a journey of around three and a half hours.

Rooms / Tents

Nestled in the Mahogany trees in Lake Manyara National Park, nine Luxury Treehouse Suites rest on wooden stilts encompassed by branches, leaves, and an intimate nature-filled ambiance. There is one Family Suite which comprises two bedrooms, each en-suite, with one bathroom containing a bath and shower while the second bedroom’s bathroom is equipped with a shower only.

Each suite has a beautiful, dark wooden floor that flows out onto an outside deck, the doors opening wide so with canvas netting in place, guests can feel as if they are sleeping ‘outside’. A large four-poster bed in the suite is covered with mosquito netting and crisp, white linen on the beds.

There is a small, round table and two chairs set up on the deck, set up for guests who wish to dine in their room, or simply sit and listen to the night sounds or early morning nature calls. There is a chair in the room and a space for guests to hang their clothes, as well as a safe to store valuables during their stay. The suite has a mini-bar and access to a butler service.

The en-suite bathroom is exquisite, with a toilet, vanity, bath, and shower, with bathroom amenities available for guests to enjoy during their stay.

Game Viewing / Activities

Guests can enjoy the magnificent wildlife and wilderness that is Lake Manyara National Park, with animals ranging from buffalos, elephants, hippos, and zebras, to the unique ‘tree-climbing’ lions. Famous for its pink flamingos, spending time around the Lake is fantastic, with walking safaris on offer to show guests the incredible birdlife of which there are over 400 species, as well as the smaller wonders of the Park. Night game drives are possible in Lake Manyara National Park, a wonderful opportunity to witness nocturnal animals such as porcupine, civet and hippos grazing, not to mention the elusive leopard.

Other activities include a treetop-canopy tour, a guided bicycle ride to the local Mayoka Village for a cultural experience, or a tour into Mto Wa Mbu town for a half-day exposure to see local farming techniques and perhaps try some local ‘banana beer’ that is brewed there.
