Kirurumu Tented Lodge is a
luxury tented lodge built upon the Gregorian Escarpment of the Great Rift
Valley. Set in this stunning location, it overlooks a spectacular panorama
across Lake Manyara to Mount Losimongori and miles of seemingly untouched
Africa. An idyllic resting place welcomes the Safari weary traveler to an
informal private and relaxing retreat.
Accommodation is in large
walk-in tents, built under thatched structures with good-sized wooden
verandas to the front. There are some new tents being built at the moment,
which promise to be excellent, with breathtaking locations, set into the
edge of the rift, and with staggering views into the Kirurumu river gorge.
This is a well-run camp with an unpretentious feel and great place to stay
en route between Tarangire or Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro or the Serengeti.
As well as providing a place to stay between Manyara and Serengeti, Kirurumu
offers a wide range of activities, which aren't available in national parks
and that in themselves make this a place worth staying at. Cycling on
mountain bikes down to the eastern edge of Lake Manyara and walks from camp
can easily be arranged. Horse riding is on offer and there are some
excellent walks for anything from 1 - 5 days up Lossimingor.
