Lake Manze Camp

About Lake Manze Camp

Close Panel

Lake Manze Camp is in one of the richest areas for game in the whole Selous Game Reserve. The camp consists of 12 tents, all well spaced apart offering a degree of privacy and all with good views of the lake. The tents are 'meru style' canvas with double zip locking and mesh windows. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and hot shower and is furnished with twin or double beds. The tents are spacious, with a comfortable veranda to watch the animals passing by. Frequent visitors to the lake include hippos, crocodiles, elephants, herons and many more. The spacious sitting areas offer relaxation for guests and overlook the lake, so are good for game viewing.

Game safaris are carried out in 4x4 vehicles which take a maximum of 4 guests and the drives are not limited to a specific schedule but tailor made to clients' wishes. Boat safaris are carried out in the calm waters of the lake. An early morning walk with an armed ranger is also available and a rewarding way to experience the beauty of the Selous.

Pricing guidelines for Tanzania

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

In Lake Manze, Ian and Bacari were our guides and they were absolutely excellent in their knowledge.

Service good. Food good. A little more touristy than some camps and not so personal.
