Manyara
Ranch Camp; Manyara Ranch
Camp is a new luxury camp located in Manyara Ranch Conservancy
about 80 Kilometers South of Arusha within the Wildlife
corridor between Tarangire and Manyara National Parks
in Tanzania.
Manyara
Ranch Conservancy offers a superb wilderness area with
an excellent cultural mix for the active traveler in
Tanzania. Manyara Ranch Conservancy is in a uniquely
important location. It is located between two National
Parks: Tarangire & Lake Manyara.
Several
kinds of animals (zebras, wildebeests, elephants, etc)
use the area as a migration corridor, essential to their
survival during the dry season. By creating the trust,
African Wildlife Fund helped to save this land from
agriculture and excessive ranching, which would destroy
the corridor and severely damage these animals’
migration routes.
Manyara
Ranch Tented Camp has
6 luxury tents and offers several exciting activities
that guests can partake while visiting Manyara Ranch
Conservancy
such as guided game walks, day and night drives, 4x4
safari extensions to nearby National parks, visits to
partner villages, horse riding with big game, bush breakfast
and dinners and participative research activities to
promote ongoing conservation projects in collaboration
with the African Wildlife Foundation.
All
of this in the heart of the northern safari circuit,
makes Manyara Ranch Conservancy an ideal destination
for a longer stay.
Manyara
Ranch Conservancy has several large dams that attract
and retain the wildlife within the conservancy area.
There is a significant resident population of wildlife
which includes groups of large bull elephants, breeding
herds of giraffe, many lesser kudu, wildebeest, zebra,
gazelle, oryx and eland. There are also predators, including
lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, jackal and bat-eared
foxes.
For many years, wild dogs have denned on the ranch.
The resident game population is continually being increased
by wildlife moving through the migratory corridors.
There
is a large number of species of birds including many
raptors on the ranch. Manyara Ranch has a variety of
habitats, which include open savannah, acacia woodland,
bush and riverine forest. These habitats support a large
diversity of wildlife and birdlife.
Manyara
Ranch Conservancy can be visited throughout the year.
The green season occurs in in April, May and June and
again in November and December and brings with it a
lush environment very different from the golden grass
with reduced foliage that characterizes the dry season.
Throughout
the year, the Conservancy remains a haven for wildlife
moving between the parks and protected game areas surrounding
the Conservancy.

Manyara
Ranch Camp Activities
Off-road
Game Drives in open 4x4 Safari Vehicles
Manyara
Ranch Camp Game
drives in the Conservancy allows us to leave the established
tracks and roads to reach more remote areas. Such off-road
driving is carefully monitored to ensure the area does
not suffer damage as a result. The camp provides both
non-package and all inclusive Game Package options.
Night Game Drives
Late
afternoon game drives can extend into the night after
a sundowner in the bush. Night drives enable visitors
to see nocturnal game rarely seen during the day. Spotlights
are used by trained guides in such a manner that ensures
the animals are not disturbed.
Escorted Walking Safaris
Manyara
Ranch Camp experienced,
armed guides will take those interested in exploring
the Conservancy for game walks from camp or while out
on a game drive.
Horse Riding Safaris
Manyara
Ranch Camp well
trained safari horses are available to explore the Conservancy
and surrounding village areas. The Conservancy has few
stones or holes in the area and plenty of game, this
is a wonderful area for horse safaris. Horse riding
safaris can only be booked by experienced riders.
Masai Cultural Visits
Neighboring
communities are an integral part of the Tanzania Land
Conservation Trust who own the Manyara Ranch. These
communities benefit directly from all visitors to the
Conservancy in exchange for having set aside the land
for the protection of habitat and wildlife.
The
Masai are partoralists with a rich cultural heritage.
Guests will have the opportunity to visit nearby villages
to learn about Masai culture, issues that affect the
people and how the Conservancy is helping to improve
their lives.
Local School Visit
The
African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) recently relocated
the primary boarding school previously situated in the
heart of the Conservancy.
The
school is now outside the Conservancy with easier access
to main roads and villages. The school was built with
donor funds and now provides a much higher standard
of facilities than previously. The move also reduces
human pressure from within the Conservancy.
Day Trips to Tarangire,
Manyara and Ngorongoro
Tarangire
and Manyara parks are located either side of Manyara
Ranch Conservancy a short drive from Manyara Ranch luxury
tented camp.
The
Conservancy is an excellent place from where to visit
these parks on day trips without having to relocate
to a new camp or lodge. An ideal stay would be for guests
to spend a few nights within the Conservancy with day
trips to the nearby parks.
Fly Camping
Fly
Camps are available for use by guests who stay at least
3 nights in the Conservancy. These fly camps are ideal
for extended walking trips and horse safaris and for
those who want to experience nights out under the stars
in the heart of the bush with a bedroll and simple cover.
Visits to the Manyara
Ranch Cattle Operations
The
cattle enterprise on Manyara Ranch is managed by The
Tanzania Land Conservation Trust (TLCT) and supported
by the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF).
They
provide an insight into the importance of cattle to
the Tanzanian economy and the local pastoralist community.
TLCT and AWF promote the improvement of cattle stock
and use advanced breeding techniques aimed at producing
a better quality of cattle for local markets.
Feeding stations and a newly constructed market, both
outside of the ranch area, are used for educational
purposes to raise awareness within the pastoralist community.
The
project also helps in protecting the lion population.
If a local pastoralist loses a cow to lions, AWF will
give them a calf. The hope is that this will discourage
the killing of lions by the pastoralists in the future.
Guests may visit the cattle enterprise and join the
Masai herders with their cattle.
Bush breakfasts, Lunches, Sundowners and Dinners under
the Stars
An
important part of the Manyara Ranch Conservancy experience
is to leave your vehicle and explore the wilderness
on foot. To support this concept, Manyara Ranch luxury
tented camp provides outdoor dining and sundowners at
specially chosen locations.
Game Viewing from Hides
A
number of hides have been established where visitors
may wait unseen for game to come to drink or gather
at a salt-lick. There are also some sites which are
frequented by leopard.
Traditional Medicines
Traditional
medicines play an important role in Tanzanian culture.
Most ingredients are sourced in the wilderness. We offer
walks with traditional healers who will explain the
medicinal values of the indigenous plants.
Indigenous Tree Nursery
To
make way for cattle, much of the woodland on the ranch
was lost over the years. This coupled with demand for
charcoal, resulted in the ranch losing a good deal of
its indigenous tree cover.
Re-growth
is rapidly taking place with the support of a indigenous
tree nursery and hardwoods center on the ranch. This
is operated by the TLCT and AWF. The local plant ecologist
offers interesting insights into the values of the trees
and efforts being made for their re-introduction to
the Conservancy and neighboring villages.
