Ol Mesera Tented Camp

Lake Manyara National Park


Run by a sprightly Slovenian pensioner, this personalised place, in a bush setting amid baobab and euphorbia trees, has four straightforward safari tents and is an ideal spot to do cultural walks or cooking classes, or just relax for a few days. It’s 14km up the Lake Natron road, and hence a long way from the lake, but lovely and quiet.

Public transport towards Engaruka or Lake Natron can drop you at the turn-off, from where it’s an easy 1.5km walk.
