A comfortable hotel with a pool, in an attractive location within easy reach of Lake Manyara National Park.
This camp is located a short drive from Lake Manyara National Park at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. It is a drive of around 2 hrs from Arusha and about 20 minutes from the gate at Lake Manyara, so it's a good place to stay on the way from Arusha to Ngorongoro Highlands or the Serengeti National Park. The camp is set in a stunning location right at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment wall which towers up over 1500 ft just to the west. To the East there are views over the rift valley to Lossimingor and on clear days Mt Meru is just visible in the distance.
This is a peaceful and comfortable camp to spend a night en route between a safari in Manyara and the Serengeti National Park or Ngorongoro and the pool is a welcome sight if you have been driving for an hour or two on dusty roads. The crew is entirely Maasai, coming from a local village and this is a camp that works closely with the local communities and produces valuable revenue for them. There are some great treks from camp and when we were last here we walked directly up the side of the rift wall - we only made it half way because we had very small children on our shoulders, but the views, even from that point, were stunning and there were signs of wildlife including baboons and hyrax as well as some good birdlife
