Sacred 1 bis, Corm ants and Geese. The park is 319sq km. The
wall of the Great Rift Valley forms the back drop from where
the forest opens up into woodlands, grasslands, swamps and
beyond the soda lake itself. It is 130 km from Arusha- about 2
hours drive so can be visited on a day excursion.

on the tip of the great Rift Valley, 4500 feet above sea
level, the lodge offers magnificent panoramic views of the
national park below, and of the seemingly unending surrounding
landscape. Each of the 100 rooms are strategically placed to

 A
luxury tented lodge built on the Gregorian Escarpment of the
Great Rift Valley. Set in this stunning location, it overlooks
a spectacular panorama across Lake Manyara to Mount
Losimongori and miles of seemingly untouched Africa. Kirurumu
is sympathetically and unobtrusively built of local materials,
inspired by the nearby traditional Mbulu (Iraqw) tribal
dwellings.The well spaced tents are private and secluded, each
raised on a base of natural stone. Bedroom are comfortable
with twin or double beds with duvets. The modern en-suite
bathrooms have hot and cold water and flush toilets.
Lake Manyara Serena Lodge
 The
abundant birdlife of Lake Manyara was the inspiration for this
5-star lodge. The unique location of the lodge, also
overlooking the soda lake, allows observation of many large
and small colourful birds moving in circles and spirals. All
62 bedrooms and the swimming pool take full advantage of the
breath -taking view.
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge
 The
lodge is a sophisticated blend of intimacy and romance,
offering privacy and exclusivity in cool, leafy surrounds.
Each of the ten tree houses have been built on stilts, in the
boughs of ancient mahogany trees, discreetly tucked away in
the forest. The tree houses have been crafted from local
timber and makuti (palm fronds) and feature large open decks
and spacious rooms with large windows to invite the
flourishing forest into the luxurious elegance of each room.
