The Lodge

Ziwani Lodge Lake Eyasi

Perched on an escarpment overlooking Lake Eyasi, the Ziwani Lodge is a highly unique eco-lodge in Northern Tanzania. It boasts incredible views across the Rift Valley and was inspired by the local architecture to work with the natural environment while running entirely on solar and wind power. 

The Ziwani Lodge was created as a remote and peaceful escape for guests after a few days of concentrated game viewing in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Its links with the local Datoga and Hadzabe tribes has also made it a cultural destination where guests can immerse themselves in their long-established traditions and lifestyles. 

There are just eight guest cottages that are beautifully appointed and with an open design to take advantage of natural cooling systems. A stunning swimming pool invites you to cool off in the heat of the day while a small library and outstanding Tanzanian hospitality add to the Ziwani Lodge’s allure.
