KIRURUMU TENTED CAMP
Lake Manyara
Kirurumu Tented Camp: Our ViewThis is a great little camp, even the somewhat bizarre orange bathrooms provide character! We really like this place - a refreshing option for those of us who do not want to stay in the large hotels for the duration of their Northern circuit safari. The views are stunning and the local village near the camp is a great place to explore. Kirurumu is a great choice for any Northern driving circuit. Very good value tented accommodation in a beautiful location easily gives it a good 3 paw rating. Kirurumu Tented Camp: Fast Facts$650 per person per night (high season) Our Rating
Kirurumu Tented Camp: The DetailOn the edge of Lake Manyara National Park, taking its name from a Bantu word meaning echoing waters, describing the sound of the river running nearby. Kirurumu used to be the only owner-run safari camp at Lake Manyara and now part owned by Hoopoe Safaris. It is most atmospheric, with permanent tented rooms built onto a stilted wooden base, designed to give each a private bush enclosure with its own undisturbed view. Wonderfully hot and powerful showers with solar-heated spring water in every tent make it hard to fault. The open-sided dining room and naturally sanded wood and rock-enclosed bar also make the most of the location, and food and service are excellent. Meals rely heavily on fresh fruit and produce, vegetables and herbs from their own organic garden and are greatly enhanced by a selection of fine wines from the bar. The honeymoon tent is hopelessly romantic, with a wide wooden bed under voluminous nets. Naturally there is no reason that such treatment should be exclusively for the honeymooning few? Its position outside the Park means that Kirurumu is free from Park rules, and the lodge specializes in botanical walks through the surrounding bush with Maasai guides to describe the medicinal uses of plants. The many resident bird species will delight watchers, and a watering hole and extensive bird list help you spot and name them. You may also likeNgorongoro Highlands
