Close Panel

Maramboi Tented Camp is situated in a beautiful location on the shores of Lake Manyara, just 18 km from Tarangire National Park. It is set in a 25,000 hectare concession area run by the local Maasai community.

The spacious tents are on raised decks spaced out each side of the main lounge area, each with en-suite facilities and a private verandah. There are either twin or king size beds with lighting provided by solar power. The bar and dining area has views across to the Manyara shore and the bush beyond. There is a swimming pool at the end of a viewing deck overlooking the plains.

Activities here include game drives, guided walking safaris, cultural interaction with Maasai and Datoga tribes, sundowners, bush breakfasts, and birdwatching (there are more than 300 species in the area). There is a wildlife reference library and wake up calls in the morning with tea or coffee.

Tribes Advisor

The style and setting of Maramboi is great and it's a good option for being outside of Tarangire as it's not far from the park entrance and the views to the lake are lovely. The rooms were light and airy though a bit shabby in decor and the food was terrible, but I'm happy to say that I think things have improved since my stay!
