Constructed from natural volcanic rock, local timber, and thatch, these eco-bandas cling to the face of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Looking down upon the silvery alkaline waters of Lake Manyara and its surrounding acacia forest, the view spans forty miles across the African continent. Troops of vervet monkeys and silvery-cheeked hornbills visit the surrounding fig trees. With minimal artificial light, guests sleep with cooling canyon breezes rustling through open screens while thousands of flamingos settle below.

Ten unhurried days exploring every wild corner of the Northern Circuit, from Tarangire to the far northern Mara riverbanks.
