Lake Manyara National Park
Located near the top of the escarpment is this hot, sometimes dusty place with camping and faded warm-water ablutions. The price is great, however, and the views are as wonderful as those at any of the nearby luxury lodges. There's also a restaurant. Dalla-dallas running between Mto wa Mbu and Karatu will drop you at the entrance.
For those without their own tent, it also offers small, no-frills tents and igloo-like structures right up against the cliff. Sunset views are just a short walk away.
