Perched in the heart of Mto wa Mbu, where Lake Manyara whispers and the Rift Valley stretches into poetry, Great View Lodge is more than a place to stay—it’s a feeling you arrive into.
Built on the timeless values of warm hospitality, community, and comfort, our lodge blends classic African lodge charm with modern, guest-first thinking. From the moment you step in, the air slows down. The views open up. The noise fades. This is where journeys pause and memories quietly begin.
We’ve always believed that a great lodge doesn’t shout it welcomes. Our rooms are designed for rest and reflection, our spaces curated for connection, and our service grounded in genuine care. Whether you’re a safari traveler exploring Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, or a guest simply passing through Mto wa Mbu, we make sure you feel seen, safe, and supported.
At our core, we are locally rooted and globally minded. We work closely with the surrounding community, honor the culture that surrounds us, and operate with sustainability in mind because preserving the view also means protecting the future.
Great View Lodge is where tradition meets intention.
Where comfort meets authenticity.
Where every sunrise feels like it was made just for you.
