Lake Manze - Experience adventure! Keep it natural! Feel the thrills of having an elephant eating Doum palm seeds right outside your tent. Hear the sound of its rumbling stomach and see how tender a mother is to her calf. We have so much to learn from our animal friends, teachings that can help us create a better world. We keep everything as it was before we arrived and this is why animals use the camp as much as our guests. Experience this magical, romantic camp on the shore of the Lake Manze with stunning lake views from your own veranda. Experience the sunrise on a walking safari. Enjoy a delicious picnic bush breakfast or lunch during your game drive as you spot lions and wild dogs. Take a fishing trip on the lake. Get close and personal with hippos and crocodiles and thousands of exotic birds on a sunset boat safari. Delight in a sumptuous candlelight dinner on the lake shore to the symphony of the surrounding. You'll never want to leave!

a very special place indeed

I have lost count of the number of times I have visited Selous (I think it is at least five times) and Lake Manze Camp is far and away the best all round camp - for position, comfort, activities, food, safari experience and last but not least, value for money. Position - the…

Amazing experience at Lake Manze Camp

We visited Lake Manze with my friend on early January 2019 and stayed at the camp for 2 nights. Everything from Coastal Aviation airline company to the transportation to the camp site through the stay went so great. The flight was on time, people were professionals and very…

A Magical Experience!

This safari camp is amazing! Our hosts Sean and Millie are exceptional at making guests feel welcome and secure. We loved that when night fell, the camp was lit with lanterns and dinner was a magical experience under the stars. Be warned: if you are addicted to your cell…

Hi again Thank you for your awesome review of the camp and your stay with us. Your many compliments will be carried over to the staff which will spurn them on to give even more. Veranda safaris give you the opportunity to feel the camp and it's surrounding with the daily visits from various animals passing through to enjoy the plentiful food around. Dinner under the stars and that get together feeling to discuss the days sightings over a cold one, is special as you meet new friends from all walks of life. We hope to see you again one day. Safe travels. Shaun, Milli and the Lake Manze Camp team.

If you want to genuinely experience the African bush, Lake Manze is the place to be. The location is perfect, situated next to a lake that ensures all types of animals wander through the camp in search of water-there's a chance some of your best sightings will come to you!…

Life-changing experience!

I have the privilege of bringing a group of 8 women to Lake Manze camp in November 2018. Our safari started immediately on our drive from the airstrip to camp, with sightings of elephant and giraffe, impala and numerous beautiful birds. At camp, we were lucky enough to be met…

What type of plug socket is used

Hi We use a multi plug socket that will take all type of plugs. Cheers Shaun and Milli

Are the tents safe to sleep in with animals around at night?

Hi Zoie, yes the tents are absolutely safe. The walking in camp is then assisted by the Maasai staff of the camp. Please let me know if you have more questions or perplexities, Have a great day ahead

Is there a direct camp contact to find out about reservations if driving self from Dar?

Hi guys We are unable to post any e mail or website addresses on this site . We would suggest you check on our website Essential destinations for an email address where they will be able to give you the needed availability and costs. Hope this helps Cheers Shaun and Milli

Hi We will be staying at your camp from 16 Jan to 21 Jan . We wondered will it be possible to contact the Uk during our stay either by Skype or telephone as we have an elderly relative in the UK with whom we like to keep I touch. We will have a phone and iPad with us. Many thanks John and Linda

Hi John and Linda We do have Skype in the office that you could use which obviously depends on signal. If your phone has roaming it should be able to work or alternatively to get an Airtel sim card in Dar es Salaam as that is the network that works here in certain spots. Hope this helps. See you soon. Shaun and Milli

What are the chances of hearing lions at night? How many people in the game drive vehicles?

Hi There is always a chance to hear the Lions but it obviously depends where the Lions are at that time and if they are calling. They can move many kilometers in a day or night and could be very far from camp. Unfortunately no guarantees. It really depends on the amount of guests in camp. We have eight four seater and two six seater vehicles. Hope this helps Safe travels. Shaun and Milli .
