Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania, Africa

Northern Tanzania at its most impressive. The Rift Valley Escarpment crashes down to the flamingo-rimmed lake and Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, cradled in a mhogany forest is host to more diverse species than the Serengeti itself.

Manyara tree lodge 

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is set in the heart of a mahogany forest, and is the only lodge in the diverse Lake Manyara National Park. From soaring groundwater forests and a tranquil lake, to the mountain escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, the park boasts an incredible wealth of habitat and diverse wildlife. Guests are offered an exciting, interpretive safari experience in game-rich surroundings which include large herds of elephant and buffalo as well as the park’s famous tree-climbing lions.

Highly skilled guides will lead you on interpretive game-drives in open 4x4 vehicles and due to the Lodge’s secluded location, you will meet noone, allowing for leisurely tracking of predators and uninterrupted viewing of flocks of pelicans and flamingoes on the lake. With three hundred and eighty-seven different bird species recorded here, the diversity in terrain and wealth of game and predators, there is no more intense and varied a safari experience in Tanzania.

Cradled in the boughs of mahogany trees, ten stilted tree house suites are created from a sophisticated blend of chic romantic style and rustic indigenous touches in leafy surroundings. Crafted from local timber and makuti, the treehouses are discreetly tucked away in close proximity to the exquisite soda lake.

Each tree house suite has large windows inviting the lush forest inside. The classically elegant rooms are fitted with contemporary furnishings in neutral colours and textures and bedrooms have overhead fans, mosquito nets and earthy, understated features.

Overlooking a forest boma, the soaring lodge building houses Dodoma Art and an open kitchen allows guests to watch the preparation of delicious Pan-African cuisine - enjoyed in the boma, on the dining deck, or on your own private deck with spectacular forest views. Breakfasts and picnics served on the lakeshore and magical.

Katavi National Park is one of the greatest wildlife experiences on the planet. Miles from anywhere, there are very few visitors and game behaves rather differently than in more frequented locales. Wonderfully diverse and un-touched, the pinnacle of African safaris can be found at Chada.

Remote and beautiful, Ras Kutani lies in an idyllic spot on the Indian Ocean. Relax in one’s cottage gazing across the lagoon to the deep blue Indian Ocean, sip a cool drink on the white sandy beach or go fishing, windsurfing or riding – Ras Kutani is a haven of tranquillity and an African delight

Katavi is the African bush of fifty years ago - wild, deserted and utterly beautiful. In the Park, Palahala tented camp is a gem, combining perfect position, extraordinary comfort and the pinnacle of service and guiding quality with warm hospitality.
