Aligned with soaring flamingos, Mandhari Lodge is situated high on the Manyara Escarpment which forms part of the Great Rift Valley. ‘Mandhari’ means ‘view, scenery, landscape’ in Swahili, and with a bird’s eye view of the great expanse from Lake Natron to Mondulli Mountains and across Lake Manyara, this lodge offers breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset.
Swaddled in the colours of the earth, the lodge offers a unique medley of accommodation options; nine dramatic, glass-fronted standard suites, one honeymoon suite, one cosy family suite for up to 4 people and one incredible 4-bedroom (up to 8 people) Nasikia Villa with private plunge pool. All suites and villa have an unob- structed view across the dreamy landscape below.
The large, core gathering area of reception, dining, lounge, bar and swimming pool is largely an open eucalypt platform filled with hand-crafted furnishings and woven delights.
Use the lodge to delve into the hearts of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater – or simply remain in the grasp of its surroundings with an extensive range of cultural delights to absorb: traditional spa treatments, highlands hiking, Tinga Tinga painting lessons, Swahili cooking lessons, African drumming, customary dancing, the ancient art of yoga and more. Welcome to soulful Tanzania.
Each guest chalet is full glassed in the front to take advantage of the incredible views - perched atop the Rift Valley Wall with view from Lake Natron and all the way through to Lake Manyara. This land is ancient, set amonst acacia trees and Iraqw farms. Each chalet is ensuited in polished concrete with private lounge for relaxing after a long day of safari - and warm bedroom to spend the night where flamingos soar
Family suites consist of two double bedrooms with shared lounge and bathrooms
This is a guest chalet but set back from the Rift Valley view, but instead has acacia forest and garden views.
