Overview

About Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge

Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge sits on the Great Rift Valley escarpment, looking across Lake Manyara towards Mount Meru. Gardens surround the thatched buildings, while the main house brings together a lounge, dining room, spa and swimming pool. Rooms have indoor and outdoor showers, baths, air-conditioning and private balconies, with Wi-Fi for staying connected. Double rooms, twins and a two-bedroom suite offer different layouts, and interconnecting rooms give families another option. Full board covers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Manyara Airstrip is 15 minutes away, making the lodge a practical stop on a northern Tanzania journey.

“A comfortable escarpment base for families, with interconnecting rooms, a children’s play room and a pool, plus private balconies for taking in the Lake Manyara views.”
