Amazing Race 5 Hotel Update: Lake Manyara

August 18, 2004 at 10:49 AM | by | Comments (0)

The Amazing Race crew jetted off to Africa last night, and ended up at Lake Manyara in Tanzania.

Before they arrived at their pit stop, the racers were challenged to eat an entire ostrich egg at the Kavishe Hotel.  Now the Kavishe Hotel didn't look like the sort of place you wanted to spend your dream African safari, but it did look like an authentic African hotel.  While the Kavishe Hotels looked like the perfect place for an ostrich egg eating contest, the lush grounds of the Lake Manyara pit stop were probably more appealing to the weary race participants.

Lake Manyara sits in the midst of a beautiful national park that is peppered with luxury lodges and camps.  Looks like the perfect spot to set up base camp for a safari.

So lets venture a guess at where the cast and crew may have holed up while stopped at the Lake.

The Lake Manyara Tree Lodge would be our top choice.  Live like the ewoks while enjoying your very own tree suite.  Outdoor shower, dining al fresco, and tree tranquility make this place at the top of our Lake Manyara list.

If not at the tree lodge, maybe the cast checked into the Serena Group's resort at Lake Manyara.  This resort boasts an incredible pool, one of those infinity edge type pools, that over looks the Great Rift Valley.  Very swank.
