The lodge features 10 spacious tented suites (including a honeymoon suite with outdoor shower) and 2 interconnecting family suites, open year-round. Its main thatched area flows seamlessly from bar to lounge to dining, leading to a stunning rim-flow pool overlooking sweeping plains and the Great Rift Valley.
During the dry season, massive elephant herds migrate through the Manyara–Tarangire corridor, drawn by permanent water sources, making this an exceptional wildlife viewing location.
