My husband and I were here the second week of Feb 2013 for 2 nights. The first night that we stayed we were the only two people there which was very cool. The service was excellent and the people who worked there extremely friendly. My husband and I learned quite a bit of Swahili in our first two days. We... More

We stayed for 2 nights and thought the food was excellent at this camp. We loved the sweeping views (watched a huge distant lightening storm on our first night) and sitting watching the light change at the end of a safari day with a cold beer. The fire pit was gorgeous. We went at the end of November and had... More

When we arrived at the Mawe Ninga Camp and were met in the parking lot by an entourage of very polite staff bearing welcome drinks of fresh fruit juice we realized the word ‘camp’ did not have the same connotations as it does in North America. We were then shown around the dining area, bar and the outdoor lounge. The... More

Maweninga is built on a granite outcropping overlooking Lake Burungi on the western side of Tarangire. The camp is well laid out with each tent located in such a way as to provide privacy from surrounding tents. All the tents are built on elevated platforms with private decks offering fantastic views of the surrounding area. Tents are large, well appointed... More

Having had a spectacular first day on safari, we possibly wouldn't have noticed any "faults" if there were any! Good camp layout, nice restaurant / bar area, space between tents & lovely individual verandahs. Friendly welcome, but, overall, not all staff perhaps as willing to please as in some of our other stops. None-the-less, we really enjoyed our stay and... More

Fantastic two night stay. Service was extremely good, if not somewhat chaotic. At a typical dinner, 3 or 4 individuals would be serving tables in a somewhat random, but enthusiastic way. Rooms were clean and comfortable, each offering a degree of privacy from the decks. For those traveling as a family, the lodge made sure that we had two "tents"... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during our visit to the Tarangire and it was my first experience of a tented camp. I was pleasantly suprised as the tents were comfortable and had ensuite facilities. What most impressed me though was the location and views from our private terrace over the Tarangire Park across to Lake Manyara. The tents are... More

Up close and personal with Tsetse flies enroute. We loved the Tarangire Park and the Mawe Ninga Camp was placed well. No vehicles by the French tent owners, which we found interesting. The bartender/waiter was an interesting character. When we arrived in the late afternoon, he said "good morning" and that's the way it remained for 3 nights. In the... More

The tents at this camp are comfortable, but not elegant. Our tent had plenty of room, a deck with a lovely view, a good shower, sink (but no running water), and a toilet. I was joined on my deck by a curious hyrax, the funny little animals that are everywhere on this property. The common areas of this camp are... More

We spent two nights here in late July 2012 and liked it a lot. While it wasn't as luxurious as the other places we stayed in (e.g. Alex Walker's Serian North in the Mara which was truly five star), it was perfectly fine. The bed was comfortable, the showers and toilet were good, and the food was edible. We didn't... More
