A VERY SPECIAL SIGHTING NEAR THE LODGE

Lake Manyara is well known by its tree climbing lions. Mostly females are the ones that climb the most and it doesn't happen very often. Now to see a big male lion and his two cubs on a paper bark Acacia tree just 500 metres away from the lodge is like icing sugar on a cake. Guests at Lake Manyara Tree Lodge have really enjoyed their evening game drive...

NAMING YOUR OWN LION

I saw this lion first so supposedly he is now called 'Canada'. No matter - how exciting it is to yell "lion, it's a lion" and not be delusional.

WHAT A BREAKFAST!

Driving back to the lodge for breakfast after the morning game drive, we came across about 20 dwarf mongooses all alarming and run fast across the road to the thickets. With a big surprise we saw an African Hawk Eagle diving down at full speed and within seconds it was flying up with a mongoose and then perched on a Phediobia albida tree to enjoy its...

TREE CLIMBING LIONS ALSO TAKE ON KILLS

It was hard to belief but it has happened. This evening we were on a game drive and came across two lionesses in the tree near the lodge. One of the lionesses was curiously looking around but when we looked we didn't see anything. Then we left to see the three leopards that we saw earlier (the mother with two cubs). On our way back we saw a lioness who...

THE LOST IS BACK!

This beautiful female cheetah was here  last three years ago. We were all amazed to see her around as cheetah are the most rarest of animals to see here because of the habitats of Lake Manyara which are not ideal for them to hunt. Cheetah like more flat and open habitat areas like the Serengeti, for running. But now that Lake Manyara is almost...

SHE DID IT AGAIN!

It has been an amazing morning as I was following up on fresh tracks of lions. I finally found them - Maji Pride with four females, one male and three cubs of four months just killed a buffalo and laid aside not eating. They looked well fed. We guessed that they has probably fed the previous day. The mother of the cubs was watching the them trying to eat...

TULI CHEETAHS!

Today on our morning drive around the Kwandwe area I spotted something laying down with little bit of the head visible and using binocular my eyes twinkled between leopard rosettes or cheetah spots! I thought it would be a leopard as we had not seen cheetah for four years. As we approched my eyes started to recognise cheetah spots even before I...

SPOTTED BUSH SNAKE PAYS US A VISIT

Lake Manyara is literally a jungle in parts - including the currently situated Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. The sounds of the animals at night is reason enough to come and visit. We were graced by this relatively harmless spotted bush snake one afternoon during shower time.

This young, but sometimes nervous, leopard cub was waiting for its mom to return.
