With an extensive team of professionals, E Unoto Retreat has been methodically developed and constructed with all environmental issues and theme concept in mind as our major concerns and goals. The lodge resembles an "Authentic Tanzanian Maasai Village" and fits in with the surroundings in a most indigenous manner.

The construction methods used by Maasai are, as what is expected from nomadic pastorialists. Even though the factors regarding the construction methods of the Maasai have been incorporated into the methods used in the concept and construction of the lodge, the construction methods and materials of E Unoto Retreat are much more aesthetically astounding and lasting. Of course, the handcrafted and imported furnishings and fittings only compliment the overall theme. With the most-spacious rooms in East Africa and each perching over tranquil Lake Miwaleni, guests enjoy the all-inclusive exceptional experience. There are 25 spacious bungalows.

Kirurumu Tented Lodge is set high on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, enjoying a marvelous, uplifting and panoramic view eastward over Lake Manyara to Mt. Losimingori and miles of seemingly untouched Africa. Impact on the Lodge's surroundings has been absolutely minimal, all utility lines are carefully placed underground and hot water is created by solar panels. As a result, bird life around the Lodge has increased and even the shy Dik-Dik, the smallest of the antelope family, has remained resident around camp.

The 20 tents are secure, secluded and spacious with deck-style wooden verandahs.
