In Balance with Nature

An intimate private camp in a beautiful bush location.

A little piece of Africa as you had always imagined and dreamt it to be.

A grass root cultural experience and your personal gateway into Maasai traditional beliefs.

Tented Camp

We wanted to do something different than setting up another lodge or tented camp accommodation in Lake Manyara. Combining tent design with engineering and carpentry, a magical result has been achieved by creating one of the best safari-tented camps in the Lake Manyara region. The permanent tents are thoughtfully located with plenty of bush and natural fencing to give you the seclusion and privacy you need for your Tanzanian getaway.

 Verified Safari tent camp
We stayed for 2 nights at this camp on our Safari vacation. The camp is nice but it’s the food that really shines! We had 2 of the best dinners of our trip. Served elegantly under the trees by candlelight. Your own private table! We enjoyed our stay here.

 Verified Wonderful
At over 1000 m, you will find heavenly peace here. They are committed to Maasai culture and maintain a harmonious coexistence. The tents are very well furnished, only the water issue is a bit limiting. In return, you are rewarded with very friendly and nice people who fulfill every wish. We were very positively surprised by the excellent cuisine. The sunset over Lake Manyara is worth a visit! Asante sana, Joseph & crew!

 Verified Totally amazing!
We had an amazing night at Isoitok Camp Manyara. We stayed in a family tent that was spacious, clean and cozy. The staff was wonderful. They were kind and helpful and always with a smile. We went with a local guide to the nearby Maasai boma and also on a medicine walk. It was very interesting and educational and he was patient with all of our (and our children's) questions. We ended the medicine walk with an amazing sundowner with Lake Manyara as a view. The food was also really amazing, very tasty and fresh. We really enjoyed the ”bush shower” under the stars. We definitely recommend a stay at Isoitok. Ashe naleng pee!

 Verified Authentic, peaceful camp with amazing staff, great food, and unforgettable Maasai and sunset experiences.
Our stay at Isoitok Camp Manyara was truly unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly welcome. The staff were amazingly friendly, kind, and always smiling, and you could really feel how much they care about their guests. It created such a warm and relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay. One of the most special experiences was the visit to the nearby Maasai village. It felt very authentic and respectful, not staged at all. We learned so much about Maasai traditions, daily life, and the natural medicine they still use today. Being taught a few Maasai words like “sapai” and “epa” was a small but beautiful moment that made the experience even more personal. The sunset walk was absolutely breathtaking. Walking through nature while the sun slowly set over the landscape was peaceful, emotional, and simply beautiful – a memory I will never forget. 🌅 The food was excellent, fresh, tasty, and clearly prepared with a lot of care. Every meal was something to look forward to. The camp itself feels very natural, calm, and cozy, perfectly blending into the surroundings. Everything was also very clean and well maintained, which made the stay even more comfortable. Isoitok Camp Manyara is a place where you can truly slow down, connect with nature and culture, and feel at home at the same time. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and meaningful experience near Lake Manyara. 💛

Responsible & Sustainable Tourism in Action

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, as we strive to work in harmony with Mother Nature and support the Esilalei Maasai community. One of our greatest ongoing challenges has been the lack of a permanent water source or groundwater. To address this, we implemented a rainwater harvesting system across the camp, initially with a storage capacity of 60,000 liters. By October 2024, in response to growing demand, we expanded this capacity to 120,000 liters. This significant upgrade reinforces our commitment to self-sufficiency, ensuring a reliable water supply while minimizing our environmental impact which through our Wine to Water partnership
