Offering lake views, Manyara's Secret in Mto wa Mbu offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

We have spent two nights and a full day at the hotel to make sure we fully enjoyed all it has to offer: - The style of the buildings and decoration are wonderfully tasteful, very comfortable and match well with the natural environment - The food was delicious, with a menu à la carte. Great breakfast as well. When we were the only guests to have lunch, the chef composed our menu with us - The view on the lake and the environment are amazing. We did a nice walk along the lake and saw some animals like impalas, monkeys, birds etc. We even saw a big group of wildebeests just passing down our plunge pool! - I have to finish with what impressed us the most, which was the staff, always nearby but discreet, ready to answer all needs of the guests, they always made sure we were comfortable. On our last day, we had to get up and leave very early, everybody was on deck for check out and to pack us breakfast for the road Thank you to all the Manyara’s Secret team, we will keep great memories thanks to you

Remote, tranquil, minimalist scenic location overlooking the valley. It’s eco-friendly in that they use solar and minimize resource consumption. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food delicious and plentiful. The road up there is rough (use a rugged car or hire a ride), but the view and being out of the hustle and bustle of town is worth it. The owner, Khan, is very welcoming and cordial. We enjoyed chatting with him. He was honest and a pleasure to do business with. I also liked that they had resident cats who were well-loved and cared for.

    Overall the place was really lovely! The rooms (Maasai Boma) were the highlight for us, so comfortable and well appointed. The food was also great, we went for the full board option and the food was tasty. Only thing, would have liked a bit more choice, would get a bit samey with a longer stay. Happy our waitress on the first day was amazing, so friendly and helpful! Walked us to the lake and told us all about the area. Overall the lodge is great, we would come back.

    We had 11 great days at the resort and we loved everyday. The staff is amazing and it feels like family. We went on two safaris while we where there, and the staff is very nice to help you with the organizing. While eating breakfast or laying at the pool you are accompanied by zebras, monkeys and wilderness beats. if you are lucky you can also see hippos coming up from the lake at night! we saw them twice and it was amazing. We would definitely recommend to everyone and we really hope to come back!! Also very nice food!!

    Wow what a place ! As the name indicates it has magnificent sunrises and also sunsets... Inbetween you will probably be on Safari drives 🙂. Dinner was good and tasty, the staff cheerful and helpful. The rooms and facilities are confortable. And the place, high above, with great views over lake Manyara just beatiful. A great alternative to Karatu on the way to Ngongoro or Serengati. Strongly reccomend !!!

    The lodge is beautifully located with amazing views over the mountains and the city. It is so quiet and most of the noise you hear are the beautiful birds singing! The personnel is really nice and friendly. The safaris are amazing and perfectly organized. I recommend this lodge.
