50 miles or so west of Arusha, at the northern end of Lake Manyara, you reach the edge of the Great Rift Valley that runs the length of the continent. This is a geological feature on a major scale; a virtual cliff that rises up some 1000ft out of the floor of the rift valley. A number of the lodges close to Lake Manyara are located close to edge of the Escarpment and consequently have truly spectacular views, either of Lake Manyara itself or of Lossimigor Volcano (dormant) and the surrounding landscape. This is one of the few places you are likely to see eagles and vultures soaring below you which makes a change.
