Lake Manyara

Sheltering below the plunging walls of the Great Rift Valley lies the quintessentially serene Lake Manyara Tented Camp, tucked in an evergreen forest on bird-rich Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park is where Ernest Hemingway camped on the hunting safari that inspired his book, Green Hills of Africa.

Tree Climbing Lions

After not seeing the famous tree climbing Lions for weeks, this evening we were lucky enough to see 4 Lions sleeping high up on a Paper bark Acaccia on the Acaccia woodland found only 2 kilometres away from the lodge.
The Lions were very relaxed as we watched them for about half an hour and they were still there when we drove back from the evening drive about 2 hours later.
