We stayed at this property in September, when the lake is practically dry, and NO one around. So, we had the place all to ourselves!! Peter and Dale from the camp bent over backwards for us and we simply have nothing but the very best to say about them. This is a typical tented camp but of course very clean... More

The Lemala Camp has a great location for exploring Lake Manyara, and a beautiful setting. Tents are wonderfully maintained and the service is impeccable. Probably the friendliest camp I stayed in while in Tanzania. The food was excellent as well. I really don't have a single complaint. If you're going to stay overnight at Manyara (which I recommend), the Lemala... More

We stayed at 2 Lemala camps during our safari, and they were both great. Lemala Manyara was our first location and we were totally thrilled with the location, the tented accommodation and the entire experience. The staff at the Lemala camps are extraordinarily customer focused. The moment we arrived, the entire staff came to welcome us with smiles, "jambo", damp... More

Stayed here two nights. Unlike the other tented camps we stayed in, the grounds were less developed and much more natural. The tents were also more "tent-like" - we actually found them to be quite nice and comfortable. Lots of birds around. The staff member who was assigned to our tent was exceptionally nice and helpful. He not only made... More

Michael, the camp manager, was our guide for the night drive. He and the other employee who guided us(can't remember his name, he was slightly hearing impaired)... More

Dear Josh H Thank you for the great review. It is nice to be compared to a four seasons. Night drives are fun if one has the opportunity to do them as you can see the nocturnal animals which are not normally seen in the day time. Best wishes Tom More

I cannot recommend the Lemala Camps highly enough! We stayed at three Lemala luxury camps: Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Ndutu. Each as wonderful as another. I must first start by mentioning that we booked our Safari with Grumeti Expeditions (Tanzania. Tel: [--], +[--]) who provided absolutely top-of-the-line guides/drivers for us! They were so knowledgeable about ALL of the animals, birds, trees,... More

We spent 2 nights at Lemala Manyara. The luxury tents, service and meals were incredible. We have been to numerous luxury African camps and lemala topped them all. Had an awesome tree climbing lion sighting and the birding was phenomenal!
