Wayo Lake Manyara Fly Camp

Set up in a secluded part of Lake Manyara, the camp has six tents and a shared tented area. Inside the central tent, you'll find a bar cabinet and lounge area with cushioned benches and bean bags. Enjoy three-course meals under the stars, or in the cosy mess tent if the weather plays up. By the fire, sip on sundowners or steaming hot drinks as you exchange memories from the day.

Split into two groups, the six domed canvas tents come with thick, foam double or twin beds covered in crisp linens and green blankets. Your private bathroom is found just outside the tent, and has a compost toilet and hot bush-bucket shower (very welcome after a day of exploring). Simple but functional, your tent also includes woven laundry baskets, rustic side tables and safari-style lamps.

Set out on daily excursions into the wilderness and as you walk across the plains, look out for the stamping herds of buffalo, zebra and wildebeest who often stop for a drink at the lake. The unmissable trumpet of elephant and lofty silhouette of giraffe complete the picture, along with 400-strong species of birds in every shade. On canoe safaris, watch as snorting hippos wallow in the water and the iconic collection of flamingos sway above the glistening surface.
