Escarpment Lodge

Nestling into the edge of the escarpment which towers over Lake Manyara is Escarpment Lodge – a high quality luxury lodge with breathtaking views.

The lodge really maximises the benefits of “outside in”  – expanses of windows and doors mean that you have nature right around you as you sit in the comfort and luxury of the superbly appointed bar lounge. A spreading deck surrounding the main lodge affords you breathtaking views of the lake and the gorge upon which the lodge perches – watch pelican sweep the skies as you take sundowners, see the sun slip like a segment of orange into the hills and listen to the sounds of Africa nestle up to you as night slides in.

Luxuriate in leather sofas and read or play backgammon or chess on handmade leather boards in the evenings after dinner, watch the lake wake up from the deck as you take your breakfast and appreciate the cool and calm of high ceilings and beautiful décor designed to make you feel both at home and in a princely place.

You can take a cycle tour from the lodge to the nearby village of Mto wa Mbu where you can indulge your need to shop for local curios and artifacts and immerse yourself in the diverse cultures of people inhabiting this pretty little village.

Evenings at Escarpment Luxury Lodge will afford you an exhilarating glimpse into local life when you dine in the outdoor Boma adjacent to the main lodge and are entertained by cultural Masaai dancing and singing provided for you by the villagers living near our lodge.

Escarpment Luxury Lodge has 16 excellently appointed and private chalets offering double, singles and triples.

Each chalet has its own private deck from which you can view the lake below you and watch wildlife as it drifts through the lodge grounds. Abundant bird life fills the trees and bushes which grow right up to your deck – affording you the sense of being immediate with the natural bush of Africa whilst luxuriating in your private chalet.  Wooden floors and wide windows and doors add to the natural feel of the lodge and every effort has been made to ensure comfort and luxury: large beds with sumptuous linen, leather sofas in your own small lounge area, handmade and recycled finishes in keeping with an eco-friendly environment and a large, deep bath from which you can survey the bush and the lake.  Each chalet boasts both an inside and outside shower – imagine the glory of taking a shower under African stars as you listen to the night sounds of the bush around you – or early morning outdoor showers to the rising sun and the sound of birds waking.  Wake in the mornings to the gentle sound of a wooden cow-bell, straight from the neck of a Masaai cow, take your tea or indeed any meal on your deck and enjoy sundowners as you watch the sun set and the gorges and hills surrounding the area grow dark against the sunset.

Escarpment Luxury Lodge has taken every care to provide attention to detail and to meet your needs for comfort and luxury whilst enjoying the immediacy of the African bush right at your window or doorstep.  This is a great new addition to the Safari&Beach portfolio.
