Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge detail

Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge is perfectly perched on top of an escarpment with sweeping views over the Tarangire River. Between about June and October, this perennial waterway attracts the huge numbers of buffalo, giraffes and elephants that thrive in Tarangire National Park.

Most visitors to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit are usually on their way to the popular Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, thus very few discover the rewarding safari experience that Tarangire has to offer. The park is best known for its big herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the unusual long-necked gerenuk (also known as the giraffe gazelle). With about 550 bird species, it is a superb bird-watching destination and the best place in northern Tanzania to see majestic baobabs – Africa’s unique 'upside down tree'.

Guests at Mpingo Ridge Lodge are privy to guided morning walks in Tarangire’s soul-stirring wilderness, as well as thrilling night game drives. The area is densely vegetated and mostly covered in open woodland with thick forest along the Tarangire River, the ideal environment for leopard.

Rooms

Two Bedroom Tented Suite

An ideal option for friends or family travelling together and wanting to stay close, the two-bedroom tented suite combines two luxuriously spacious suites connected by a comfortable shared lounge and deck where your travel party can enjoy sundowners or morning coffee together. Each bedroom is similar to the standard suite with a king or twin bed and an en-suite bathroom with a large rain shower and outdoor bathtub on the private deck for an indulgent soak under the African night sky.

Tented Suite

Every spacious tented suite has been carefully positioned to offer guests the utmost privacy without skimping on views. Private viewing decks are equipped with sunken outdoor lounges that convert to comfortable day beds, perfect for afternoon siestas. After a day on safari, soothe the soul with breathtaking views of the expansive horizon while you wash away the African dust in a private outdoor bathtub – the pièce de résistance of each suite.

Facilities

Mpingo Ridge Lodge’s elevated main area is harboured by magnificent granite boulders and offers gorgeous views of the Tarangire River and its valley below. Guests can relax in the large lounge area, enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar or head out to the swimming pool for an invigorating dip. A good pamper session at the lodge’s spa is an ideal activity after a morning walk in the bush.

Dining

Delicious meals are served in Mpingo Ridge’s indoor or outdoor dining areas, complimented by a wonderful panorama of Tarangire.
