Lake Manyara is on the surface, the least visited of the Northern Tanzania parks. There’s no Great Wildebeest Migration and no big five, so people often overlook it. Yet, deep in the Southern sector of the park lies one of Tanzania’s most serene, beautiful and tranquil secrets that we insist must be on any wilderness-seeking guest’s itinerary.

Chem Chem is a luxurious lodge in a beautiful location but it is not for those wanting a pumping safari lodge. It is about taking things slow and seeing another side to safari. Great for the few who have the time and the budget.
Set right next to Tarangire National Park within the Kwakuchinja wildlife migration corridor, home to over 50 species of mammals. Manyara Ranch conservancy is a small permanent tented camp that can offer game drives in both Manyara National Park and Tarangire.The private conservancy is an intimate and undisturbed safari destination, across the lake from Lake Manyara National Park.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is one of the most luxurious lodges on the northern circuit, owned and run by &Beyond. Despite the luxury of the lodge it is perhaps one of the least visited, partly due to its location in the quieter area of Lake Manyara and also since Manyara as a destination is overshadowed by the other larger game areas in the north. We think this lodge is great but would recommend at least two nights to make the long drive in worthwhile.

Perched high on the Manyara escarpment, Mandhari Lodge is all about the incredible views. From each room, you will get sweeping scenes from Lake Natron to the Monduli Mountains below, making for an exceptional base to explore the surrounding area. If you have ample time on safari and are keen to explore the smaller parks of Lake Manyara and Tarangire, you can’t go wrong with this base. Plus, it's excellent value for money.

The lodge has an excellent view of the Great Rift Valley from many of the rooms and the bar area. We think this is a good option for those who are lovers of a great view and a slightly bigger lodge style.
Although this is a large lodge, it disguises its size quite well with its spread out design. The little pointy thatched rooms are dotted over a large area creating good space between one another. With only a 20 minute drive to the park, the Lake Manyara Serena is a great option for this area given its access and amazing views. If a tented camp is not your thing or you don’t want to stay in neighbouring Karatu then this is a great choice.
