A private ranch on conservancy land close to Lake Manyara with a range of activities including day and night drives, and walks.
The people and wildlife live peacefully together here to provide a valuable section of conservation land. Manyara Ranch is a joint project of the Maasai communities, Tanzania Land Conservation Trust and Africa Wildlife Foundation. It protects natural wildlife migration corridors between Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and the Maasailands.
There are six large en-suite tented rooms all with flush toilets, hot and cold running water. There is generator and invertor power and a central charging area for cameras. There is a dining tent with indoor and outdoor dining space.
There are a huge range of activities on offer here including day and night drives, guided bush walks, Maasai cultural visits, local school visit, fly camping, visit to cattle ranch, bush meals, sundowners, wildlife viewing from hides, and you can even meet a traditional healer. Horse riding was available, but is now being phased out.
There is plenty of wildlife around the ranch including visits from elephant, giraffe and zebra. It is in a good position to visit either Lake Manyara or Tarangire national Park from here - or both without having to move accommodation.
