Treehouse sanctuary surrounded by towering mahogany

Tucked into the upper branches of an ancient mahogany grove and embraced by the dramatic Rift Valley, &Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge offers a deeply immersive escape into one of Tanzania’s most biodiverse national parks. Elevated on stilts and crafted from natural materials, ten treehouse suites overlook dappled glades where elephants sometimes wander below.

This is the only permanent lodge within Lake Manyara National Park, offering rare access to its diverse habitats—from soda lake to groundwater forest—and a front-row seat to tree-climbing lions and abundant birdlife. Days here move gently, with healing therapies, fresh seasonal menus, and space to reconnect. The lodge’s graceful, low-impact design lets nature lead, while warm Tanzanian hospitality brings soul to every detail.
