Burudika lodge is affordable accommodation within the Jangwani wildlife corridor that joins the wildlife ecosystem of Tarangire and Manyara National Parks. The lodge provides a spectacular view of Lake Manyara National Park and is situated on the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley.
Jangwani wildlife corridor is within the Mto wa Mbu Game Controlled Area (GCA) where different mammals and bird species roam freely between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks. It is home to a stunning diversity of wildlife in the typically sun-drenched savannah of East Africa.
This area also is home to the Maasai, an ethic group that values conservation and wildlife. The Maasai have co-existed with wildlife for a long time because of their non-hunting culture. Within this area it is not uncommon to meet the Maasai with cattle herds. Burudika Manyara Lodge co-exists with the Maasai and their traditions.
“Banda” is a Swahili word for a single standing house. Our stylish
bandas are constructed using local building materials to reflect
Tanzanian creation and skills. The roofs are thatched with coconut
leaves while the walls are partly made of concrete, canvas and volcanic
stones, which were formerly submerged in the lake. The beds are made of
wood interwoven with sisal ropes in a unique Tanzanian style.
Each banda has a private verandah that offers a spectacular view of Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley with a cool eastward air breeze. You will have an opportunity to watch different bird species coming to drink water from the trough in front of your verandah.
