Manyara Best View Lodge: A Luxury Sanctuary on the Rift Valley Escarpment

Perched high on the famous Rift Valley escarpment, Manyara Best View Lodge offers what we believe is the region’s most stunning viewpoint.

From this elevated position, approximately 350 meters above ground level, the lodge overlooks everything—the sparkling waters of Lake Manyara, local villages nestled in the valley below, and, on clear days, the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru in the distance.

The escarpment itself stretches endlessly toward Kenya, creating a panorama that captures the raw beauty of East Africa’s Great Rift Valley.

Brand New, 100% Solar-Powered Eco-Lodge

Opened in early 2022, Manyara Best View Lodge is a modern eco-lodge built with sustainability at its core.

The lodge runs entirely on solar power, ensuring your stay has a minimal environmental footprint while providing all the comforts you expect.

Everything is brand new—from the thoughtfully designed rooms to the public spaces—offering a fresh, contemporary experience in one of Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes.

Africa’s Most Beautiful Infinity Pool

The lodge’s infinity pool has been recognized as one of Africa’s most beautiful, and once you see the view, you’ll understand why.

The pool seems to merge with the horizon, creating the illusion that you’re swimming at the escarpment’s edge.

Whether you’re floating in the cool water or relaxing on a lounger, the uninterrupted views of Lake Manyara and the valley below will leave you breathless.

Wildlife at Your Doorstep

Manyara Best View Lodge borders a wildlife-controlled area, allowing animals to roam freely across the property.

You may spot elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and various antelope species from the comfort of the lodge, especially as they move along the escarpment.

The location offers a unique opportunity to observe wildlife without even leaving the property, adding an extra dimension to your stay.

Supporting Local Community

The lodge maintains a close connection with the local village below the escarpment, supporting community initiatives and ensuring your visit contributes positively to the area. This commitment to responsible tourism means your stay helps sustain the valley’s traditional way of life.
