This was one of 8 places we stayed while on Safari in Tanzania--and turned out to be the least favorite of the 8. The view and setting was beautiful. We appreciated being met with a scented wash cloth and fruit beverage when we arrived. The bar and lounge area was done very nicely as well as there was an intriguing... More

The location is beautiful. It was totally unexpected coming off the main highway. The pool was the best and cleanest on our safari. It was a nice change to be able to sit out by the pool with a gin & tonic and actually enjoy the pool. The food selection was great. The chef was knowledgeable with gluten free options.... More

Compared with the vast Serengeti and the picturesque Ngorongoro crater, the wildlife around Lake Manyara is not a huge attraction. However, it is a refreshing break and the location of Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge on the great ridge affords gorgeous views of the lake. The hotel is not over-crowded. Rooms comfortable and the dining options will not leave you hungry.... More

This was the perfect spot to start our safari with RA Safaris. The rooms were clean and spacious. Did need to keep the windows closed in the morning as baboons came to visit. Get up for sunrise it is perfect from the bar next to the pool.
