Why we book it
Manyara's Secret is a small lodge on the edge of the escarpment above Lake Manyara, a handful of villas spread along the ridge, each with a private pool and the lake laid out below. Dinner is on your own terrace if you want it.
It is the Manyara stop on our luxury honeymoon escape, where the view is the reason for the night.
Our mainland safaris quote this lodge or similar: a property of the same standard if it is full or has moved with the season. The exact lodge is named in your proposal, before any payment.
