The lodge is set in one of the most diverse parks in Tanzania, located in the far western edge of the park normally considerably distant from most other tourists. It's important to note that after entering Lake Manyara National Park, it takes about a half day (through game rich areas) to reach the lodge.

The lodge is one of the most lovely in Tanzania. It boasts 10 spacious tree houses cradled in the boughs of mahogany trees, situated about a kilometer from the great salt lake Manyara. As one of the only properties that &Beyond (formerly Conservation Corporation) actually built from scratch in Tanzania, it is also among the most modern.

The lodge is a sophisticated blend of intimacy and romance, offering privacy and exclusivity in cool, leafy surrounds.

The stunning landscape and surrounds inspired the famous American novelist Ernest Hemingway’s great novel “Green Hills of Africa”, which he wrote following a month long safari he took here with his wife Pauline in 1933.
