This prime location allows for easy access to both parks, with the lodge itself just a 15-minute drive from Tarangire’s gate and on the southeastern shore of Lake Manyara. This setting not only offers a serene environment but also a rich corridor for wildlife, providing guests with constant animal sightings right from the lodge.
