Tanzania
In the remote southern end of Lake Manyara National Park,
northern Tanzania, &Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is the only
lodge in the Park. Here the Great Rift Valley is at its most
impressive, with the Escarpment dropping some 500 metres (1640
feet) down to the flamingo-rimmed shore of the lake.
This remote lodge blends intimacy and romance in cool, leafy
surrounds. Spacious bedrooms float in a sea of green, with generous
decks and massive windows opening up to the lush forest. Blow
bubbles while contemplating the forest from your bath or soak under
the steaming hot water of an outdoor shower. An interactive kitchen
brings a touch of theatre to breakfast and lunch. Dinner each night
is prepared and served in the open dining boma, encircled by a tall
fence of gnarled wood.
Rooms
Ten elegant stilted treehouses are cradled in the boughs of
mahogany trees, ensuring privacy for all guests. Built of timber
and makuti (palm fronds), the interiors are bleached, earthy and
stylishly understated. Rooms are spacious with sitting areas and
viewing decks. Ensuite bathrooms with a bath, outdoor shower, twin
hand basins and private w.c are all features of these beautiful
treehouses.
