Perched on top of a cliff with jaw-dropping views over the Tarangire River, lies the beautiful Lemala Mpingo Ridge.
Experience
In dry season – between June & October, this water source becomes a drawcard to Tarangire National Park’s large herds of buffalo, elephant & giraffe – a wonderful sight to behold.
Tarangire may not be as well known as the iconic Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater but offers an intimate & unspoilt safari experience. The park is famed for its tree-climbing lions, big herds of elephants & the unusual long-necked gerenuk.
It is also a bird lover’s paradise since there are over 550 species recorded - & the best place in northern Tanzania to photograph striking baobabs – Africa’s unique ‘upside-down tree.’
Stay
Accommodation comprises 10 luxury tents, 3 family tents & 1 two-bedroom tent, all perfectly positioned to maximize the amazing views.
Each luxury tent features an en-suite bathroom, a private viewing deck with sunken outdoor lounges that convert to comfortable day beds & a private outdoor bathtub.
The en-suite family tents sleep a maximum of 4 people & are identical to the luxury tents but have a sofa bed to accommodate triples & a safari-style Kids bed for children under 12.
Ideal for families or friends travelling together, the two-bedroom tent is generously sized, with each en-suite bedroom affording sensational views & a shared lounge. This unit can sleep 6 guests.
Mpingo Ridge’s elevated main area is sheltered by granite boulders & offers breathtaking views over the Tarangire River & valley below. Guest areas include a comfortable lounge & dining room, safari bar, sparkling swimming pool, library, Kids Club & spa.
