Beautiful stars, delicious food, inspiring landscapes, stimulating company. Simple pleasures -what more could you ask for? – Miriam
Brilliant time – loved the privacy and the full on bush experience. A bit of bush bashing a thrill. Liz, Jarrad and Conna Marcussen
Manyara Ranch has been very special part of our Tanzanian safari experience. The night drive, the walking safari, the solitude let us feel in touch in a unique way. Thank you to such a wonderful team. Wendy Hart, Miami, FL.
Manyara Ranch is a beautiful place, thank you for sharing it with us. I learned so much about the world around me, and I know I will notice more when I go home. Thank you for answering all of my questions. Thank you for helping us to get up close and personal with so many different species. I will never forget the people here. You were all so kind. – Kate Huffer, USA.
Joanne, Chris and the fabulous staff at Manyara Ranch. You have given us the experience of a lifetime – everything was amazing! This place is a paradise – not only the environment but you – the people who run it and take care of us! This has truly been one of the greatest highlights of our lives! A million “thank yous”! Good luck and best wishes for a success and a wonderful life. - Gayle and Joel Callahan
We don’t want to leave. Everything here – the staff, our hosts. Chris and Joanna and the fabulous walking safaris and game drives have been something we will never forget. Last night, Chris and Joanne took us to the hide. We watched six lions come down to drink and Chris and Jo were so patient enough to allow us to stay as long as we wanted. We left only after the moon was out and it was impossible to see anything. The lions, the wine, the snacks and their knowledge made for an unforgettable experience. The location, the facilities, the service – all were outstanding, but, at the end of the day, the staff is what makes this place. All were outstanding and Julius made us laugh every day. – Wendy York / Steve McCue, USA
My experience at the Ranch far exceeded my expectations! I felt like I was with friends and not with guides who I didn’t know. I feel totally blessed to have had this adventure. The horses were awesome, and I’ll never forget running with the zebras and giraffes. Thank you so much. - Suzie Hofert, North Carolina, USA

Aardvarks on the Ranch
Here on Manyara Ranch Conservancy, our night time game drives are a regular occurrence. Usually departing after dinner, we take our time to explore 35,000 acres of exclusive wilderness. Searching for a variety of nocturnal African species, we often come across a very special and rare specie known as the aardvark. Aardvarks live in sub-Saharan Africa, where there is suitable habitat for them to live, such as savannas, grasslands, woodlands andbushland, and available food (i.e., ants and termites).The aardvark is nocturnal and is a solitary creature that feeds almost exclusively onants and termites (formicivore); the only fruit eaten by aardvarks is the aardvark cucumber. An aardvark emerges from its burrow in the late afternoon or shortly after sunset, and forages over a considerable home range encompassing 10 to 30 km, swinging its long nose from side to side to pick up the scent of food.
The closest living relatives of the aardvark are the elephant shrews, along with the sirenians, hyraxes, tenrecs, and elephants. With their extinct relatives, these animals form the superorder Afrotheria.

Honeymooners Delight
We all have different tastes in furniture, food, people, and the same applies when it comes to choosing a honeymoon location. Some newlyweds choose to seek a more adventurous and unique way of celebrating their marriage, than your typical beachside resort. Manyara Ranch Conservancy is a wonderful choice for honeymooners in Africa; offering the chance to get away from hordes of safari vehicles yet the ability to experience wilderness in complete privacy and adventure.

Pictures can sometimes be more powerful than words. Here is a small snippet of what’s been going on at the Ranch lately.

August Update from Camp
It just keeps on getting better at the Ranch with three new lion cubs sighted this month. Our guests were fortunate enough to witness these playful and inquisitive cubs, as well as have the unique privilege to name them. Therefore we are proud to announce the arrival of Enzo, Babi and Nala to the Conservancy. We shall determine the sex of the cubs in the weeks ahead and let you know.
Three 19-month old lions currently on the Conservancy have progressed out of their childhood and are today practicing their hunting skills at the dam most afternoons. Unfortunately, Duffus the male lion has been ruining the hunts; much to the entertainment of our clients and to the disappointment of his two sisters.
