This was my 1st safari booked for my 40th Birthday as I wanted to get away and have something to remember and oh did that happen. I looked for ages to find somewhere that would give me the real sense of what I imagined a safari was all about and Lake Manze lived up to that and more. The amounts... More

Magical location, excellent staff, lovely comfortable tents with plenty of room and great verandas.It's not at all unusual to wake up to an elephant or hippo grazing within a few feet of your tent. Food ok but you are in the bush after all. This was our third visit in 3 years so clearly we are extremely satisfied with the... More

This was our first safari and we thought it was fantastic. All the staff were very friendly. The tents were comfortable and clean. Everything was well organised and slick. Food was good too. The boat safaris are great because they are so relaxing. But we would recommend the full day safari trip to the hot springs. It was nice to... More

Lake Manze camp lived up to all our expectations and we really felt we had had an authentic safari experience. The food was plentiful and excellent and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Our guide Adam went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing experience and saw everything we wanted to - well nearly, despite his... More

I would highly advise a trip to Lake Manze Tented camp in the Selous. This is a wonderful experience with just enough of the creature comforts (like your own toilet and shower) but not so much that you forget you are in the middle of an African game preserve with thousands of wild animals around you. The number of camps... More

Manze Camp is what I would define a 'no-nonsense' place. The managers are very kind and efficient without being overly fretting on their guests, the tents are comfortable and clean, the showers are fantastic and the meals cover everyone's needs. The camp is set along the shores on one of the many lakes long the Rufiji river giving an easy... More

This was our first safari trip and it was the start of our honeymoon. We definetely caught safari bug! Everything about Lake Manze Camp is so amazing. We were so close to the nature, because the camp is situated opposite the lake, so we could watch animals going down to the lake to drink water. At night we could hear... More

This is a wild place yet comfortable. Me and my children spent three nights there and were more than pleased. It's very satisfying to write a nice report because it was a truly, truly memorable stay! The tents were nice with a bathroom at the end. Wildlife was all around it! As soon as we had checked in and was... More

This was the 1st safari trip we have done and we definitely weren't disappointed. We arrived in Selous in the afternoon and were taken on on a Game Drive straight away seeing pretty much all the animals you could imagine. Lions, Wild Dogs, Hippos, Crocs, Imparla, Kudu, Giraffe, Elephants, Baboons, Hyena, Warthogs, Buffalo, Wildebeasts, Zebra, Waterbutts etc Masai/security - were... More

I can only Echo the thoughts of most of the other guests, the Camp itself is fairly basic which just adds to the fantastic safari experience. As a family who have done several safari's in some luxurious lodges across Africa, this was one of the most enjoyable yet. The staff were all very polite and extrememly knowledgeable and very happy... More
