Lemala Mpingo Ridge sits on top of an escarpment with sweeping views across the perennial Tarangire River and the valley below. Excellent game viewing, a real sense of wilderness and outstanding standards of service and comfort, are just some of the many factors that make Mpingo Ridge a truly unforgettable safari destination.
Being the 6th largest National Park in Tanzania, Tarangire remains slightly off the main safari circuit but is a terrifically scenic Park featuring classic African savannah, green hills, woodlands and rivers, and is especially famous for its large herds of elephants, superb birdlife and giant baobab trees.
Early morning walks, sundowners, cultural visits, and game drives in custom-designed vehicles accompanied by highly-knowledgeable and experienced guides are just some of the activities guests can look forward to during their stay here.
Each of the 15 spacious tented suites have been carefully positioned to maximize not only the sensational views over the Park but to take advantage of the cooling breezes during hot weather. They feature en-suite bathrooms, private decks, and sunken outside lounges that convert to afternoon siesta beds. A special feature is the private outside bathtub - perfect for soothing the body and washing away the African dust after an exciting day on safari. For families, 3 of the suites have a sofa bed which can accommodate one child under 12 years of age. The 2 bedroomed tented suite is large and spacious and can accommodate up to 6 people, making this an ideal option for groups, families or friends travelling together.
Guests can also enjoy the spectacular views that Tarangire has to offer from the comfort of the bar, lounge and outside seating areas. Or should you wish, take a stroll down to the pool and enjoy a refreshing swim.
