Moonbow Lodge is a small, intimate retreat perched on the Manyara Rift Valley escarpment in Mto wa Mbu, offering four spacious rooms with sweeping views over Lake Manyara National Park and the surrounding wilderness. The lodge positions itself as a genuine base for exploration of Tanzania’s northern circuit — Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater are all within easy reach — while providing a restful environment that allows guests to slow down between game drives.
Each room measures 85 square metres and is designed with a personal touch, blending modern African style with local materials and handmade Tanzanian amenities. The outdoor pool, gardens, and bar create a welcoming common area, and the staff’s warmth and attentiveness have been consistently highlighted by guests. Birding from the lodge grounds is rewarding, with the escarpment setting attracting a diverse range of species.
Four Deluxe Rooms of 85m² each feature king-size beds, private bathrooms, and all modern amenities. Garden views and the tranquil escarpment setting complete the experience.
Lake Manyara Airport (LKY) is approximately 4km from the lodge — just minutes away. Charter flights from Arusha and Kilimanjaro operate regularly. The lodge can assist with transfer arrangements.
