We only stayed one night at this lodge and it was an interesting one! The lodge itself is not too far the national park, in fact it's just North of it. The highlights of the lodge are the view from the rooms and the staff. We were given one of the farthest away from the lobby / bar / restaurant... More

Our tent was luxurious from the bed, bed linen, bathroom, service, and dining. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a bush dinner on site just for the four of us with all sorts of extra attention. Would absolutely recommend it.

When we booked our Northern Circuit Safari we didn't actually book Kirurumu Tented Lodge at all. But about a month and a half before our trip we were informed that our 'other' hotel had to cancel our reservation due to facility issues, and we will be staying at Kirurumu. Anyway, this place is awesome - the views from the private... More

The staff were very welcoming and hospitable and my tent was a lot cleaner than I thought you could expect a permanent tent in the wilderness to be! The views over lake Manyara from my front deck were very nice and the entire site was quite peaceful. I had some trouble sleeping simply because it was my first night out... More

Highly recommended tented lodge. We were so excited when we got to this place. It was a fun place that we could relax in, making our safari experience even better. The tented lodge has a zipped screen front overlooking a large patio/balcony with a very pretty view. We spent the eve drinking wine on the balcony and watched the sunrise... More

A great place to stay when visiting Lake Manyara National Park - we could actually see Lake Manyara from our balcony. Our tent was fairly basic but the shower was lovely. The restaurant team (Buru and Latifa) looked after us very well, working round dietary requirements and breakfast started early so we could eat in rather than take a picnic... More

Kirurumu Tented Lodge is a spacious permanent tented lodge. The tented rooms have a large 3 piece ensuite with running hot water with wonderful water pressure for the shower....no roughing it here! Staff, including the Maasai porters in their traditional red robes were all very friendly and helpful. The Maasai look so unique and regal in their bright red, blue... More

Kirurumu was the final place we stayed at on our week-long safari and it was a wonderful ending to a fantastic safari (organized by Donald of Sunshine Tours). The 'tents' are located on the lip of the Rift Valley escarpment and have a fantastic view onto the plains. Each tent is located at some distance from its neighbours so there... More
