ESE Manyara Eco Lodge places you close to some of northern Tanzania’s most rewarding wildlife, nature and cultural experiences. Set out on a Lake Manyara game drive, discover village life during a guided Mto wa Mbu cultural tour, cycle through green agricultural areas, visit a Maasai community, enjoy a traditional Tanzanian meal or inquire about canoeing and other activities available around Lake Manyara. Each experience reveals a different side of the destination. One morning may bring elephants, forest birds and the dramatic wall of the Great Rift Valley. Another may introduce you to local growers, artisans, cooks and families whose knowledge gives Mto wa Mbu its unmistakable character.
