Foot On Africa Safari Lodge is an activity-rich retreat perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment at Mto wa Mbu, with five private units arranged to face unobstructed views over Lake Manyara and the valley below. Each unit features its own plunge pool and a wooden balcony, designed for guests who want lake views at close of day after full days in the surrounding parks. Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire are all within 50 minutes to an hour.
What sets the lodge apart from other Mto wa Mbu properties is the on-site activity offering. A zipline, canoeing safaris on Lake Manyara, guided nature walks, cycling tours, and night game drives are all available, making it a natural choice for active travellers and families who want to do more than observe from a vehicle. The staff’s reputation for warmth and professionalism is consistently noted by guests.
Five private units — a mix of safari tents and chalet suites — each open onto a wooden balcony with Rift Valley and lake views. Interiors feature king or queen beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and private plunge pools.
Lake Manyara Airport (LKY) is 2.5 miles from the lodge. The property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is approximately two hours by road; Arusha Airport (ARK) is around 1.5 hours.
