The staff very friendly, the room was normal and the tent was just like others tent

Mohammed Oman

The staff the facilities the location everything else was superb and the safari that was organized by the camp was awesome.

James Kenya

We weren't expecting much of this place given how low the prices were compared to other lodges, but we loved every minute of our stay here. We even spent 2 afternoons just lazing around at the campsite which is not our style at all, we usually go out and explore, but it was just such a nice place! The rooms are big, beds are comfortable, fully functional bathrooms, great food and very professional staff. Other reviews say it's hard to find, yes it's not very straight-forward but we found it on our first try, just drive slowly and look out for the signs on the side of the road. The only reason I can think of for the price being so low is that the lodge isn't in the middle of a national park, but Mto Wa Mbu is a really nice village that you don't want to miss (the lodge offers village tours for $20, we did it and it was really cool). Tarangire is a 1-hour drive, Manyara is 20 minutes, Serengeti may be a bit far but the others are all easily within reach.

Kamen Switzerland

The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The tent was huge, very clean and didn‘t lack anything. We booked a game drive to Serengeti with overnight stay and the driver/guide Mollel did everything to make this trip a great one!

Fabian Germany

Location is amazing and the glamping tents are great.

Iain United Kingdom

The staff is more than nice. They take a lot of care of their guest. The food was really good. The restaurant has outstanding view. More than recomended

Aronax France

Its located directly to the border of the Lake Manyara conservation area. Very goog base for a safari. The restaurant served very delicious food. Tends were well equipped and atmosperic.

Claudia Germany

Very clean, very spacious tent for 4 of us. Hot water, good pressure in the shower. No insects at all, how do you guys do that? :D Hippos, zebras and flamingos keeping us company, good food, friendly service, safe environment, and the pool was also nice.

Tatiana Russia

This is a great place with really great staff. The tents are very comfortable and cleaned very well each day. A hippo comes out at night which is really fun. One of the best places we stayed.

Renata Belgium

I liked everything in this hotel! They are very close to the lake Manyara and you can see zebras, monkeys just walking near your tent, unbelievable! We got to see hippos at night as well, because a hippo’s pool is located nearby too. A tent was big and had everything inside: big double bed and a small bed, sofa, and the main thing: hot shower at any time! A chief in restaurant can cook anything upon your preferences there as well. Very friendly staff!
