Fig Tree Lodge & Camp

Fig Tree Lodge & Camp is just moments from the lively centre of Mto wa Mbu, surrounded by the landscapes of the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater are not far away. The property has a quiet garden and a pool for cooling off, and it is classed in the budget-conscious category. Things get exciting without a jeep: walking safaris in the area lead through banana plantations and rice fields and to local craftspeople, and if you like, you can visit schools and health centres or the colourful Maasai market. A safari without an engine, so to speak, but with bananas.
