Manu is a tribe from Survivor: Edge of Extinction. Their tribe color is blue.
Consisting of strong, conflicting personalities, Manu found itself preoccupied by the political aspect of the game. As a result, the tribe failed in challenges. Misfortune haunted the tribe as five of its six remaining members were transferred to the new Lesu tribe at the tribe switch and continued their losing streak there. However, the tribe produced the eventual Sole Survivor, Chris Underwood, who returned from the Edge of Extinction.

| Notes: ^1 The castaway was voted out and opted to be sent to the Edge of Extinction.
^2 Reem, Chris, and Aubry's status as jurors was not announced until the Vata tribe's first Tribal Council on Day 19. ^3 Chris won the second reentry duel, thus removing himself from the jury. ^4 Because Lesu and Manu lost the Day 16 Immunity Challenge, both tribes attended a joint Tribal Council where they would vote together to vote one person out. ^5 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor rules, a revote would commence. | ||||||

Trivia
- Manu's camp was previously used as the campsite for Takali in Millennials vs. Gen X, Mana and Maku Maku in Game Changers, Soko in Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, Naviti and Lavita in Ghost Island, and Goliath/Jabeni in David vs. Goliath.
- Manu is the second blue-colored starting tribe for Kelley Wentworth, following Hunahpu (San Juan del Sur).
- Wendy Diaz is the only original Manu member to stay on the tribe after the tribe switch.
- After Wendy's elimination, Manu became the fifth tribe to contain none of its original members at some point during its existence. It was preceded by Maraamu, Mogo Mogo, Nuku, and Soko, and would be followed by Vula.
