Mbali Mbali Tarangire River Camp is where the spirit of Africa unfolds in its purest form – wild, timeless, and deeply moving.
Set high above the Tarangire River, the camp commands sweeping views over acacia woodland and ancient baobab plains. This is a place where elephants roam freely below, and the rhythm of the bush sets the pace of life.
Each of the 20 spacious tented suites is built on raised wooden platforms, combining rustic charm with modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find large beds draped in mosquito nets, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas overlooking the river. A few tents cater to families or honeymooners, offering extra space and intimacy.
The main lodge area features an open restaurant, bar and lounge with panoramic views of the Tarangire landscape. Meals are freshly prepared, blending local Tanzanian flavours with international cuisine. As dusk falls, guests gather around the campfire with a glass of wine, listening to the sounds of the wild.
From the infinity pool, it’s not uncommon to watch elephants or antelopes wandering through the riverbed. And as the sun sets, painting the savannah in shades of gold and crimson, the atmosphere becomes almost otherworldly – the kind of moment you carry home forever.
Game drives with Ndoto Safari begin right from camp. Early morning excursions reveal Tarangire’s most iconic residents – massive elephant herds, lions resting in the shade, and leopards draped over acacia branches. The park’s unique mix of wildlife and baobab-dotted scenery makes every drive a photographer’s dream.
Evenings bring tranquility. The Campfire Deck glows under a canopy of stars, the air filled with the scent of earth and firewood. Guides share stories of Africa’s wilderness, and guests simply listen – connected, calm, and alive. Operated by Mbali Mbali Lodges & Camps, the camp is built with sustainability and community in mind – powered by solar energy, employing local staff, and designed to blend naturally into its surroundings.
Mbali Mbali Tarangire River Camp is more than a destination – it’s an experience of Africa’s soul.
A sanctuary of comfort, adventure, and authenticity – brought to life with Ndoto Safari.
