Manyara Ranch Conservancy

An Intimate Safari Experience in the Savanna

For visitors seeking a true safari experience, the luxury tented camps of Manyara Ranch Conservancy offer the ultimate in wildlife access. Situated on a 35,000-acre wilderness conservancy, in a migration corridor that connects Tarangire and Manyara National Parks, Manyara's tented camps offer an intimate setting in which guests can connect with nature in a multitude of ways.


Whether it's taking off-road safari drives, horseback riding amidst the big game, or dining under the stars, visitors to Manyara Ranch Conservancy can enjoy the best of Tanzania's wildlife when they want—and retreat to the luxury and comfort of their own private tent when they need a rest. And, because the tented camps accommodate no more than 12 to 14 guests at a time, you literally have the entire savanna at your doorstep and to yourself.


What's more, as an African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) conservation enterprise, Manyara Ranch Conservancy exists to protect crucial wildlife corridors in Tanzania while also providing ongoing economic support to the local Maasai communities that live in the area. It's a win–win for all involved, including you.
