About Manyara’s Secret

Manyara’s Secret is a small-scale and exclusive lodge on the edge of Lake Manyara National Park, with stunning views over Lake Manyara.

The Dutch owners have bundled their Africa experience in this lodge, with an eye for the environment and the inhabitants of this beautiful area.

There is a nice atmosphere at Manyara’s Secret. Your own personal host ensures that you lack nothing.

Socially responsible

The owners fell in love with a piece of land in the “floodplain” of Lake Manyara. In the distance you can see the pink of the flamingos. The weather is always wonderful at this place. Warm, but not too warm. With a breeze.

They soon came to the following principles:

  • building materials and equipment from local entrepreneurs
  • fully solar powered
  • in consultation with the community
  • respect for nature
  • water from a well
  • own water basin for drought periods.

Due to the construction of the water pipeline, the surrounding Maasai villages now also have clean water.
The surrounding community also flourishes through the collaboration with local entrepreneurs.
