Stunning location at the top of the escarpment with huge views of the valley floor below; unfortunately the views from our tent were limited and obstructed by vegetation. The tent just about large enough, simply but fairly comfortably furnished. The ablutions were brick built rooms with separate shower, wash basin unit and a proper loo: something a little more than...

We were floored when we arrived at our first safari lodge: the Kirurumu Tented Lodge was phenomenal--a two story lovely dwelling with a fantastic view and all the amenities we needed. The meal and the staff was outstanding (best of our trip) and Joel took great care of us while dining. The next day the boxed lunch was very good.

Stayed here one night while visiting Manyara National Park. The tents were just beautiful with really hot showers and patios. The bar has such a gorgeous view and the staff is very nice. I think it was one of our favoriteaccommodations during our trip to Tanzania

The view from our tent was fabulous. We dined beside the croaking of bullfrogs in a liitle pond which added to our experiece. During our first night, the party next door kept us awake with card pkaying and loud voices. It isn't that they were exceptionally loud. The problem was that the tents are tents and too close to each... More

The lodge is very pretty with lots of greenery surrounding the rooms making you feel secluded and the views from the top of the escarpment over Lake Manyara beautiful especially when you are enjoying your sundowner at the bar and your early morning tea on your veranda. Our requests were dealt with efficiently with food being prepared for the kids... More

Great first camp to stay at! We were so excited to start our safari and the views from Kirurumu were beautiful. Very relaxing and clean. They were even accommodating when we needed a late check out. Good value.

Our luxury tent, perched high up on the Rift Valley Escarpment, had just the most amazing view down the valley towards Lake Manyara National Park. Each tented accommodation was spaced far enough apart to give you the feeling that you were the only people staying there. It was so peaceful. The tent was extremely clean and modern - hard to...

We spent two nights here to see the national park. The road up the hill to the lodge is quite something, and they are refurbishing the guides' lodgings, so our guide had all the way up and down extra drives, but that is temporary. The people are very nice, and dont't forget to follow the signs 'to the bar' because... More

The Kirurumu Manyara Lodge is a few bunpy kilometres from the main road but once there it affords great views of the Rift Valley and Lake Manyara itself. Staff were on hand to take our bags straight to our tent. We stayed two nights in a two week safari in Northern Tanzania and the tent (a room really) was the... More
