Ziwani Lodge offers sophisticated accommodation with just 7 cottages (including 1 family cottage) on the shores of Lake Eyasi, an excellent location with sweeping views toward the Rift, boasting a beautiful swimming pool for cooling off on hot afternoons. Ziwani fits perfectly in a northern Tanzania safari in style and elegance, combining the breathtaking landscapes and games of our marvelous country with the possibility of enjoying authentic, off the beaten track, cultural tourism, real encounter with ancient Tanzanian tribes.
The property is a fully fledged eco lodge; running solely off solar and wind power. The inspiration of the construction and design came from the local architecture around the area. The open feel of the design with limited amount of glass in the windows, is not only used as a natural cooling system in the rooms and main areas of the property, but also to get our guests to feel at one with nature.
