Escarpment Luxury Lodge

Top choice in Lake Manyara National Park


The wood-floored chalets at this attractive place are the height of luxury – plenty of space, wonderfully deep bathtubs, leather sofas, tasteful recycled furnishings, wide verandahs, the finest linens and big windows. Views of the lake are as expansive as you'd expect from up here on the escarpment.
