Lake Manyara Tree Lodge Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

At the all-inclusive Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, you'll spend your days in search of lions, elephants, and baboons, and your nights sleeping in luxury high above the ground in a mahogany forest.

Lake Manyara National Park in northern Tanzania draws visitors both for the the geological splendors of the Great Rift Valley and the embarrassment of wildlife riches in the surrounding forests and plains. At Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, you'll enjoy both the epic scenery and the experience of an African safari. And you get to sleep in a tree.

Of course these aren't your childhood tree forts. Each of the 10 stilted suites is tucked away from the others in the mahogany forest canopy. Privacy is guaranteed; good thing, as the exotic setting has been known to spark romance. Each suite has a private game viewing deck, dream-inducing beds, and an overhead fan for those warm, African nights.

On safari, you'll go searching for large herds of elephants and buffalo, baboon troops of up to 200 animals, giraffes, wildebeests, hippos, and the king of the jungle. In fact, the area is known for its rare lions. But don't worry, they stay well away from the lodge.
