Kirurumu Manyara Lodge

Lake Manyara National Park


A unpretentious ambience, closeness to nature and memorable cuisine are the hallmarks of this well-regarded camp. It’s about 6km down a rough road from the main road, with views of Lake Manyara in the distance and a bush feel up close. Tents are well spaced amid the vegetation. Maasai-guided ethno-botanical and sunset walks are free, and fly camping can be organised.
