Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is enchanting: it is built deep into the forest with minimal impact on the surrounding environment and is entirely hidden from view until you are right in the lodge.

Leafy paths lead to ten tree-houses, built on stilts in the branches of mahogany trees. Wooden steps with twisted banisters lead to your tree-house which is fabulously luxurious and tucked away from all the others by branches, leaves and lianas.

Inside, there are big beds with sweeping muslin nets, beige sofas, soapstone carvings and wrought iron and cream lamps. The en suite bathrooms have Victorian baths and outdoor showers. A leafy veranda runs the length of the tree-house with branches and tree trunks coming up through the wooden decking.

At night you can see the bushbabies leaping from tree to tree and in the morning the bird calls surround you. Your own personal butler will attend to your every whim throughout your stay.

The main lodge is also ingeniously designed. There is a big lounge, open plan kitchen and dining room and sandy boma which is lit by fifty lanterns and roaring fires at night.

Activities from the lodge include game drives in the remote southwest of the park where the lodge is situated and after a long day of game viewing, you can relax by the small swimming pool which is nestled in a forest glade.

With knowledgeable guides and friendly staff, a stay at Manyara Tree Lodge is a highlight of any safari.
