"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
The tents were comfortable, the food was excellent and the general organization was very efficient." See all these reviews: 7n in Zanzibar; 5n in Tanzania
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
The facilities at the camp were excellent and the tents very comfortable. We loved having the toilet and shower open to the skies and the lack of electricity gave a wonderful atmosphere at night. Hearing elephants right outside the tent was a fabulous experience as was their company at breakfast!
The food and service was first-rate and the waiters loved our ten-year old. Travelling as a family of five, the only draw-back was the communal dining at lunch and especially at evening when it was a race to sit together." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
The experience of having elephants wandering through the camp and around the tents at night was amazing. Also the quantity and variety of game life we saw was way above expectations - whether this was the time of year or sheer luck doesn't matter, it was excellent."

"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
the camp was well positioned & had an abundance of very well conditioned animals with lions prolific - six different sightings with over 70 lions seen.
again no leopard or wild dogs were sighted & cheetah are not seen in Selous. the guide & driver could not be faulted for knowledge & effort
they were very accomodating with full day full on safari
the boat on the lake was also excellent with numerous hippos/crocodile & wading birds" See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
Only regret: we had a trainee guide for all our drive safaris, and, having been on safari before, he did not bring much new with his comments. It was more a "chat with him" than real information or anecdotes about the animals...
the drive boat was great, in a quite small boat near quite big animals!" See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
Our tent was great too - more of a rustic experience with no electricity but just what we wanted as we wanted to feel like we were on an adventure. There is power available in the bar too so you can charge phones, cameras, etc.
It was an extremely relaxing experience with the day built around what we wanted to do and a variety of activities on offer. Being near the lake the option of a boat safari is excellent with even more animals to see.
To top it all off we were visited daily by elephants right outside our tent which was an experience we will never forget. To be so close to them was amazing.
Finally, it was a great touch for the staff to organise a romantic meal for two outside our tent on our last night. We would heartily recommend Lake Manze Camp to anyone considering a safari." See all these reviews: 7n in Zanzibar; 4n in Tanzania
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
We loved the 50s style tents, basic but charming and comfortable and the simplicity of the camp coupled with excellent and thoughtful service made for a very memorable stay." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 2n in Zanzibar

"It was the real Africa, a pleasant suprise!"
The food and accommodation were great, and was pleasantly suprised by Sarah......the girl that runs the camp is Italian!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, I had no tummy upset and no insect bites either....
Great result!
Being on the edge of the lake was great as all the animals travelled passed us day and night!" See all these reviews: 3n in Tanzania; 1n in Zanzibar
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
Our guide Emmauel and driver Bacari were good company and were very keen to find the animals for us , and also gave good info on birdlife and flora. We saw very few other vehicles. A lovely welcome in the camp from Sara and her staff, and we especially liked the tented bar/dining area. We enjoyed the river and lake trips, seeing lots of hippos and crocs. Plenty of good food, just a little heavy sometimes.
Tents were comfortable,spotless and bug free! The actual location of the camp was great, the only minus being a deeply rutted track in some places which made access quite uncomfortable." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania; 3n in Zanzibar
