Accommodation

7 Luxury Tented Suites

The seven spacious tent-style suites offer ultra-luxurious accommodations beneath the vast African sky. Using natural textures and materials such as wood, canvas, cotton, and lava rock, these suites seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment.

1 Family Tent

The family tent consists of two separate tented bedroom suites. It includes a full suite linked by a small wooden bridge to a vintage-style tented room (50 m²) equipped with an indoor shower. This setup can accommodate up to three children and two adults. One tent features the main bedroom area, while the annex tent, connected by the wooden bridge, contains two single beds for children.

Activities

Lakeside Sundowners

Relax on the tranquil shores of Lake Manyara with a drink in hand after the day’s excitement of exploring the bush. Gather your thoughts as you watch the sunset, see the first stars appear, and observe the birds returning home to roost.

Bush Breakfast

Wake up with the birds and set out for an invigorating morning walk. Hear the bush come alive as the sun warms the earth and its furred and feathered creatures. Afterwards, settle down at the foot of a 3,000-year-old baobab and enjoy a well-earned full English breakfast.

Walk or Run with the Maasai

Discover the wilderness through the eyes of those who have lived in harmony with it for centuries: the Maasai. A warrior will accompany you along with a field guide for a rare opportunity to learn how this local population has survived by coexisting with wild animals for hundreds of years.

Lindi Weeks - Safari.com. A Pleasure to Work With.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lindi Weeks of Safari.com to plan our dream safari, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly patient, answering every question I had and addressing all my concerns. Her knowledge of safari destinations, wildlife, and logistics is truly impressive – it’s clear she’s a seasoned expert in the field! Beyond being well-informed, Lindi is an all-around wonderful person to work with. She was understanding of our budget and needs, and she crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, relaxation, and unique wildlife encounters. At every step, I felt like I was in great hands, knowing Lindi had thought of every detail to make our trip as memorable as possible. If you're considering a safari adventure and want someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about making your experience unforgettable, I highly recommend Lindi

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
