Kirurumu Manyara Lodge

Because the location is outside of the National Park, Kirurumu can offer botanical walks with the hugely knowledgeable Siyanga and Maggie who will teach you about the medicinal uses of plants from the surrounding trees. Siyanga has published a book on Maasai traditions and in particular his expertise on botany, which can be found in the charming curio shop at reception. You can also hire bikes and explore everything the local town has to offer. In the park you can find a wealth of wildlife including flamingos and if you are lucky you may spot the famous tree-climbing lions.

The lodge has 27 tented rooms, 2 honeymoon suites and 2 family cottages, all with en suite bathrooms, private balcony, comfortable bedding and sitting area and sweeping views out over the edge of the Great Rift Valley.

Kirurumu Manyara Lodge is set high on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, enjoying a marvelous, uplifting and panoramic view eastward over Lake Manyara, the Rift floor and Mt. Losimingori. Behind Kirurumu, the Ngorongoro Highlands rise in green and fertile splendor and form the gateway to Ngorongoro Crater and, finally, Olduvai Gorge, the Serengeti. The Lodge features a sun deck with panoramic views, a bar and a dining room as well as communal sitting area.
