How They Dazzle Us

It is not only the lions of Manyara that sleep in the trees, so too do the guests at this stunning Landing. Finished with the signature style and swagger of all &Beyond Landings, this lodge has built its accommodation in the tree canopies, overlooking some of he most incredible Rift Valley landscapes. While Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Ngorogoro Crater tend to hog the headlines, Manyara is their slightly less well known equal. The fact that it is a little less touristy but just as incredible means that it is a great place to unwind and spend time. You certainly won’t struggle to see the game for which it is so famous.

Why We Love Them

Lake Manyara National Park is famous as the only place in the world where the lions sleep in trees. The T-shirts that you can buy in the area are very quick to remind you of this. And without a doubt, spotting that most majestic of beasts, the lion, sleeping in a tree, is a great site – a truly unique site in fact. Lions are not little cats, they are fearsome and imposing and this unique behaviour, which is incidentally done so they can escape the uncomfortable insects that are found in the area, makes visiting Manyara worthwhile.

Their Sustainable Superpower

Houses built in trees are already a huge tick in the environmentally friendly column and this is a Landing that has got it very right. Limited to no damage done to the forest floor and with units built from locally sourced and sustainable products this is a very well-conceived project. They have also gone all out to empower the local community with a fantastic shop selling locally made goods and curios as well as a high involvement of local people working on and benefitting from the Landings obvious tourist pull.
