Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge is perched on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, 110km from Arusha, with panoramic views stretching over Lake Manyara and — on a clear day — to the distant outlines of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. Part of the Wellworth Collection, the lodge is set within pristine gardens rich with over 130 bird species, offering a scale and refinement that places it firmly at the top of the Mto wa Mbu luxury tier. Its Rift Valley position is among the most dramatic of any lodge in the northern circuit.
The main house anchors the property with considerable amenity: a grand lounge, dining room, spa, boutique, conference room, boardroom, media room, gym, outdoor fireplace, and rim-flow pool. This breadth of facilities makes it well suited to both safari travellers wanting a fully serviced base and corporate or incentive groups requiring event infrastructure. Day excursions to Lake Manyara National Park (10km), Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi, and the Ngorongoro Highlands depart from the lodge.
All 50 Deluxe Rooms and the two-bedroom villa have private balconies overlooking the Rift Valley and lake. Each room is finished with en-suite indoor and outdoor shower, a bathtub with views, air conditioning, fireplace, Wi-Fi, mini bar, in-room safe, and flat-screen TV.
Lake Manyara Airport (LKY) is just 7km from the lodge — approximately 15 minutes by road transfer. Coastal Aviation and charter operators run scheduled and on-demand flights from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and Arusha Airport (ARK). The lodge is happy to assist with flight coordination.
