Tortilis Camp Manyara

Tortilis Camp comprises an impressive row of fully furnished tents, set at the foot of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, perfectly positioned to overlook the vast expanse of Lake Manyara.

It’s easy to succumb to the enticing sofa and chair in an exclusive game-watching area in your tent, a serene space to sit back and marvel at the birds dancing over the lake or a troop of elephants passing by. Wildlife surrounds the camp.

Expect to hear lions roaring and to encounter hyenas and buffalo. Bird lovers, feast your eyes on the many species of migratory storks, ibis, and pelicans, as well as over 90 more species, including thousands of flamingoes, which have made the lake their home for much of the year, along with eagles, hornbills, kingfishers, and weavers.

Over two-thirds of the park is covered by water, so a guided walking tour is a must. Being so close to hippos and elephants on foot is thrilling, while bird spotting so close to the lake offers the most colorful spectacles. Waking up in Lake Manyara to experience the sunrise over the lake, you’ll feel you’ve discovered a lesser-known treasure of Northern Tanzania.

Breakfasts are worth getting up for and are enjoyed from the mess tent as the buzzing world comes alive around you. The sumptuous breakfast array includes colorful platters of fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, cold meats, and cheese with crackers and biscuits, croissants, cakes, pastries, toast, and spreads. Coffee and teas of the world are, of course, essential to complement the first meal of the day, and then to really get the best start to the morning, order your favorite choice of eggs or omelets from the chef.

Perhaps one of the biggest challenges of your whole stay at Tortilis Camps is to pull yourself away from the glorious breakfast every morning

The packed lunch served to you by the Tortilis driver guides at the perfect location in the bush will be just the unique meal you may have imagined it to be.

You’ll be amazed at the setup we can quickly create in the middle of the bush, with you sitting in a comfortable chair at a table laden with nuts, fruit, cheese, and crackers as hors d’oeuvres, followed by creatively prepared main courses and salads from the chefs.

These meals include additional flavorful spices and vibrant Tanzanian infusions. Lunch back at the Tortilis Camps is also an option every day if you are not away on a game drive or activity

The tents are always a surprise to the visitors, who feel more like they are in a comfortable lodge than in a simple tent. We’ve put a lot of thought and creativity into the layout and interior design, as well as the decoration, materials, fabrics, and items used to create each of our tents.

The result is a unique, spacious, and comfortable East African space where you feel welcome throughout your Tortilis Experience. Tents are built to easily withstand the elements. Thick canvas protects against rain, and adjustable tent flaps over mesh windows surround the tent. The tent flaps are easily adjusted to allow maximum airflow during the day.

It’s easy to succumb to the enticing sofa and chair in an exclusive game-watching area in your tent, a serene space to sit back and marvel at the birds dancing over the lake or a troop of elephants passing by. One reason the tents are always in such good condition is the system of ongoing maintenance performed by their own staff.
