Perched atop the renowned Rift Valley Escarpment above the Mto wa Mbu village, Manyara Best View Lodge offers an unparalleled location, 120 kilometers from Arusha Airport (around a 2-hour drive) and just 6.6 kilometers from Lake Manyara Airport, which is a mere 20-minute ride away. This is the only spot along the escarpment where you can take in sweeping views of the Rift Valley, which spans East Africa, and gaze upon Lake Manyara. On clear days, the lodge offers views of world-famous mountains like Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. While staying at the lodge, you’ll also have the chance to admire the scenic banana plantations and local villages like Migombani and Majengo, as well as other nearby communities within the Mto wa Mbu area. The lodge ensures an exceptional experience with top-notch service and exquisite cuisine, allowing you to fully unwind and relish your vacation. Accommodations at the lodge range from Silver, Gold, to Platinum rooms, all featuring private showers and toilets, comfortable amenities, and luxurious interiors. Each room boasts a large king-size bed (200×220 cm) or two spacious single beds (100×200 cm), top-quality mattresses (25 cm thick), and a private veranda with stunning views. You can savor your morning coffee or tea while enjoying the magnificent African sunrise right from your room. Golden rooms offer added perks compared to Silver rooms, such as an outdoor shower for an authentic “out in Africa” experience, improved views overlooking either the escarpment or Lake Manyara, and more luxurious accommodations. Platinum rooms provide even greater luxury, including a private outdoor bush bathtub, exclusive access to nature, prime view locations, private butler service, and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for guests. The lodge’s restaurant and bar are among the finest, offering breathtaking views and an unforgettable dining experience.
