Escarpment Luxury Lodge

Welcome to Escarpment Luxury Lodge

A Peaceful Hideaway Overlooking Lake Manyara

Nestled on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, Escarpment Luxury Lodge feels like a secret tucked away above the treetops. The moment you step onto the property, you’re greeted by wide-open views of Lake Manyara below, the rustling of acacia trees, and that soft breeze that always seems to carry the scent of the bush. It’s peaceful, it’s wild, and it somehow feels like home.

This isn’t a place with a lot of hustle—just a quiet, thoughtful lodge where you can slow down and reconnect with nature, whether that’s by watching baboons climb through the trees or sipping a sundowner as the sky turns pink over the valley.

Your Space to Breathe and Unwind

The chalets are warm and spacious, with wooden floors, canvas walls, and big glass doors that open out onto private decks. You wake up to birdsong and distant views of the lake, maybe even the sound of elephants moving below. Inside, you’ll find deep bathtubs, comfy beds draped with mosquito nets, and little touches that make it feel special—like handmade decor and locally sourced toiletries.

Each chalet is spaced apart, so you always have your privacy and plenty of room to just… be.

Dining with a View

Meals at Escarpment are relaxed but thoughtfully done. Breakfasts are full of fresh fruit, eggs made how you like, and good strong coffee. Lunch and dinner are often enjoyed out on the deck, with dishes that mix local ingredients with global comfort food. Think grilled tilapia from nearby lakes, fresh garden vegetables, or a slow-cooked beef stew that hits just right after a day of game drives.

Wildlife & Exploration Right at Your Doorstep

Escarpment Lodge is perfectly placed for exploring Lake Manyara National Park—just a short drive down the hill and you’re in the park, spotting elephants, tree-climbing lions, or hippos wallowing in the lake. And when you come back? A refreshing towel and maybe a cold drink by the pool, watching the horizon fade into evening.

Guests can also enjoy guided walks, cultural visits to nearby villages, or simply sit quietly on the deck and take it all in. Because sometimes the best moments aren’t the ones you chase—they’re the ones that just happen while you’re still.

Come As You Are, Leave Feeling Grounded

Escarpment isn’t flashy—it’s soulful. It’s a place for travelers who want comfort without losing the connection to nature. Whether you’re on your way to Ngorongoro or winding down after Serengeti, this is a stop that stays with you.
