Manyoni Game Reserve

Manyoni Private Game Reserve is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in Kwazulu-Natal. This 23,000-hectare reserve is the product of 17 dedicated landowners who dropped their fences in 2004 to create one contiguous protected area for our wildlife. The selection of the area as a potential release site for the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project was a major driving factor in the establishment of Manyoni. In 2005, the newly established reserve was confirmed as a release site by the WWF and a founder population of black rhino were released into their new home.

Nine luxurious stilted treehouse suites cradled in the ancient mahogany canopy of the groundwater forest, offering the ultimate in intimacy and exclusivity. This unique lodge provides dramatic views of the magnificent Rift Valley and Lake Manyara beyond. Each treehouse suite is suspended above the forest floor, allowing guests to wake to the sound of hornbills and the chattering of blue monkeys. The lodge combines sustainable luxury with exceptional wildlife viewing, being the only accommodation within Lake Manyara National Park. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the park's diverse ecosystems, from alkaline lake to dense forest, supporting an incredible variety of wildlife including tree-climbing lions, elephants, and over 400 bird species.
