Search Magara hotels

The best area to stay in Magara is typically near the Magara Airstrip, as this offers convenient access to the Lake Manyara National Park and surrounding activities.


This area is generally centred around the main road leading towards the park entrance. You'll find a selection of lodges and tented camps here, usually offering good views of the escarpment or the lake in the distance. These accommodations are designed to provide a comfortable base for safari-goers, often featuring swimming pools, dining areas, and organised game drives.


For couples looking for a romantic and exclusive safari experience, staying in one of the luxury tented camps slightly off the main road is an excellent choice. These camps often blend into the natural landscape, providing privacy and a sense of being truly in the wilderness, while still offering high-end amenities and personalised service. They're great for enjoying sundowners with scenic views and quiet evenings under the stars.


Families will find the lodges near the airstrip very practical. Many lodges cater to families with larger rooms or interconnected options, and the proximity to the park entrance means less travel time with children.

The best time to visit Magara is during the dry season, which runs from June to October.


During these months, the weather is generally clear and sunny, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. The vegetation is sparser, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. This period is also excellent for outdoor activities like game drives and walking safaris. For those seeking a comfortable and predictable travel experience, this is the most reliable time to go.


Another good time to visit is during the short dry spell in January and February. While it's a shorter window, you'll still find pleasant conditions for exploring the region's natural beauty.
