Wayo Manyara Green Camp

Deep in Lake Manyara National Park, beneath the Endabash Waterfall and surrounded by forest, Manyara Green Camp is a wonderfully adventurous choice for a family safari in Tanzania.

Set away from the main game-drive tracks, its peaceful riverside setting offers a real sense of being immersed in nature, with the Rift Valley escarpment rising dramatically beyond the camp.

The eight spacious tented suites are raised on wooden decks, with locally crafted interiors and retractable gauze roofs for falling asleep beneath the stars.

Elephants, buffalo, baboons and abundant birdlife can be found around the river and forest, while game drives offer the chance to see zebra, hippos, giraffe and other wildlife across the park.

For families looking for more than traditional game drives, Manyara Green Camp is an excellent option.

Canoe safaris on Lake Manyara, guided walks along the lakeshore and into the forest, hikes to the Rift Valley and a treetop walkway offer different ways to explore the landscape, while night game drives reveal the park after dark. Mountain biking and village visits can also be arranged, creating a wonderfully varied family safari holiday.

With locally made accommodation, solar power and a strong commitment to conservation and local communities, Manyara Green Camp combines adventurous family travel with a genuinely light-footprint approach to safari.
