Main lodge area
The thatched double-storey main lodge houses the restaurant, bar and upstairs lounge, all with views across the floodplain. An infinity pool in front of the lodge shares the view and is a wonderful place to cool down after a hot day viewing game in the park. If you want to catch up on news or sport, there is a flatscreen TV in the upstairs lounge.
A cold cocktail in the informal lounge or outside next to the pool, is a perfect way watch the sun set on another spectacular day in Africa.
Cuisine at Manyara Wildlife Safari Lodge
The restaurant offers a mix of traditional, Indian, Italian and continental dishes throughout the day. Meals can be served in the restaurant dining room, the garden next to the pool, or the upstairs lounge.
For a special experience, a bush dinner can be arranged. A barbecue is set up at the bottom of the cliff which is a short walk down a lantern-lit path from the camp. Delicious food is served under the stars, followed by traditional dancing by local Maasai performers.
