About Lemala Osonjoi Lodge
Opened recently as an upscale sister property to Lemala's tented camps, Osonjoi Lodge is an ultra-luxury hillside retreat designed to blend into the ancient acacia forest. Named after the medically significant Osonjoi trees, the lodge features a "sophisticated yet soulful" design with massive glass windows that bring the lush forest and crater views inside. It is highly regarded for its eco-conscious luxury, utilizing solar power and sustainably sourced firewood for its signature log-burning stoves.

Everything You Need to Know
Why choose the eastern rim over the western rim?
The eastern side (Lemala side) is far less crowded. You save significant time descending to the crater floor, often reaching the wildlife an hour before guests staying on the other side.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the lodge features a beautiful indoor swimming pool heated by solar energy, which is a rare and welcome luxury at the crater's high altitude.
What is a "Secret Nook"?
Every suite includes a specially designed, cozy daybed alcove (the nook) with its own view, perfect for private moments with a book or a glass of wine.
Does the lodge accommodate families?
Yes, the two-bedroom suites are specifically designed for families or groups, offering shared lounge spaces while maintaining private en-suite facilities for each bedroom.
How far is it from the nearest airstrip?
The lodge is about a 2-hour drive from the Lake Manyara Airstrip.
