Manyara Green Camp enjoys one of the best locations in Lake Manyara National Park, with tree-climbing lions, hippo pools and huge flocks of pink flamingos all nearby. The scenery here is breathtaking, with waterfalls, expansive views of the park, and rock pools ideal for a cooling swim during the hot afternoons.
This sustainable mobile eco camp offers homely comfort deep in the bush, and being located on the banks of the Endabash River in the south of the park it’s the perfect spot for wildlife spotting right on your doorstep. Here you can see fish eagles swooping down to catch their supper, and elephants and buffaloes often trundle past on their way to drink. Giraffes are frequent visitors, and the area is home to the world’s largest concentration of baboons. During some parts of the year, the river is the only water source for miles, attracting thousands of animals to its banks.
About the Park
Lake Manyara National Park is known for its tree-climbing lions, hippo pools and thousands of flamingos which give the lake a hazy pink tint. Here you can spot fish eagles, elephants, giraffes and the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world. We feel that Lake Manyara Green Camp is the best location within this park.
Activities at Lake Mayara Green Camp
Activities here go far beyond the classic safari experiences. As well as game drives and bush walks, guests can enjoy forest hikes in the Great Rift Valley, go mountain biking through the vibrant farming village of Mto Wa Mbu and along the shores of Lake Manyara, and take canoeing excursions on the lake where paddlers can get up close to wildlife grazing on the shoreline. For a rather different perspective of the park, try night game drives or go on a sky-high adventure through the forest on the suspension bridges of Tanzania’s first treetop walkway – keep an eye out for monkeys, butterflies and birds.
