Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp

About Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp

Close Panel

Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp lies at the centre of the Serengeti within easy reach of the prime wildlife theatres of Lobo, the Western Corridor of the Grumeti River, the southern grass plains, the Seronera Valley and the kopjes, or inselbergs, of Barafu, Gol, Maasai, Loliondo, Simba and Moru.

Scenically located in a glade guarded by 3 million year old granite towers, Mbuzi Mawe (meaning Klipspringer in English) makes maximum use of its unique wilderness location. There are al fresco breakfasts, safari luncheons, lantern-lit bush suppers, campfire roasts, and dance displays by the Ikoma people. There are daily game drives and guests are free to take walks along nature trails.

Accommodation comprises 16 spacious tents, each with 24-hour electricity, constant hot water, ensuite bathroom with twin hand basins, shower and flush toilet, dressing area, two double four-poster beds and a verandah with safari chairs and sun loungers. The dining room has an outdoor terrace and there is a separate bar. There is a fire pit and a nearby barbecue area for outdoor meals and sundowners.

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	£50 to £150
	£150 to £300
	£300 to £500
	£500 to £800
	Over £800

Tribes Advisor

I really liked this camp - in complete contrast to the other Serena property in the area, it feels small and friendly, the rooms are well spaced out with huge kopjes between them so have a feeling of space and privacy. The tented rooms are comfy and well furnished. The location is great all year.
