Home / Accommodation / Manyara Best View Lodge & Spa

Manyara Best View Lodge & Spa is a peaceful eco lodge located high on the Rift Valley Escarpment near Lake Manyara and Mto wa Mbu. The lodge sits approximately 350 metres above the valley floor and offers wide views across Lake Manyara, banana farms, distant hills and the surrounding savannah.

The property is fully powered by solar energy, making it a good choice for travellers who value comfort and responsible tourism. Its elevated position also provides a cooler and quieter atmosphere after a full day of safari activities.

The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished with good beds, private bathrooms and private verandas. From your veranda, you can relax with a drink while enjoying the views across the valley, especially during sunset.

One of the main features of the lodge is its infinity pool, which overlooks the landscape below. Guests can also enjoy the full service spa, where massages and beauty treatments are available for those who want to relax between safari days.

The on site restaurant serves fresh multi course meals in a calm setting. The lodge is also surrounded by natural vegetation and attracts many exotic birds, making it a pleasant place for guests who enjoy nature and peaceful surroundings.

From the lodge, you can see the Rift Valley wall on one side, local banana farms below, the Mbuyuni hills in the distance and Lake Manyara stretching across the landscape. The wider area is also connected to an important wildlife migration zone near Manyara Ranch.

Manyara Best View Lodge & Spa is located in the Manyara Kibaoni and Mto wa Mbu area. The drive from Arusha usually takes around three hours, depending on road conditions and traffic. Guests arriving by air can also transfer from Lake Manyara Airstrip.

This lodge is a strong choice for travellers who want spacious rooms, excellent views, a swimming pool, spa treatments and convenient access to Lake Manyara and the surrounding northern safari circuit.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

    Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.

    An absolutely brilliant tour / travel company

    What can I say. How do you explain PERFECTION. I will try. From the outset of our trip Ramadhan and Laurent were excellent. We gave them our requirements and budget and they prepared a program that was outstanding. The whole safari went like clockwork. We were met and briefed by Ramadhan on our arrival and introduced to our driver and guide extraordinar Ngoi. We visited Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar. Absolutely brilliant trip, we saw the most extraordinary game. All the accommodation arranged for us was magnificent, especially the tented camps, where we were visited by a lion and elephant, scary but exhilarating. So if you are looking for an unforgettable experience look no further than Laurent and Ramadhan from Tanzania Safari Experience. They truly put clients first and foremost and deliver on their promises. Cheers from a very satisfied Chris and Terri Harvey
