A place of
infinite calm surrounded by untamed majesty, Mbuzi Mawe
offers a timeless blend of classical safari rusticity and
the world-class professionalism of Serena Safari Lodges,
Resorts and Hotels. Unlike any other camp, Mbuzi Mawe Tented
Camp lies at the epicenter of the Serengeti within easy
reach of the prime wildlife theatres of Lobo, the Western
Corridor of the Grumeti River, the southern grass plains,
the Seronera Valley and the kopjes, or inselbergs, of Barafu,
Gol, Maasai, Loliondo, Simba and Moru.
A ringside seat for ‘the greatest show on earth’ Cleverly
located on one of the main annual migration corridors for
over one million wildebeest, half a million zebras and
gazelles, and their accompanying cast of predators, the camp
enjoys a ringside seat for one of the greatest wildlife
spectacles on earth. Scenically located in a glade guarded
by 3 million year old granite towers, Mbuzi Mawe (meaning
Klipspringer in English) makes maximum use of its unique
wilderness location. There are al fresco breakfasts, safari
luncheons, lantern-lit bush suppers, campfire roasts, and
dance displays by the Ikoma people as well as game drives,
ranger-led bush walks, ornithology and sightings of:
elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, hyena,
wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, warthog, hippo and crocodile.
ACCOMMODATION
A private encampment of 16 superbly luxurious tents guarded
by sentinel towers of 3 million year old granite, the camp
radiates out from a central lounge. A place of light and
air, the lounge’s terrace is a massive ledge of natural
stone, its views stretch to eternity and its décor blends
the gnarled timbers of ancient dhows with champagne suede,
claret chenille and amber weaves. Accommodation comprises 16
spacious tents, each with 24-hour electricity, constant hot
water, ensuite bathroom, dressing area, two double
four-poster beds and a
RESTAURANT AND BAR
The dining tent has its own shaded terrace for optional
outdoor dining while the cuisine blends the traditional camp
fare of flame-roasted meats with salads, fresh garden
produce, piquant fish dishes and luscious desserts. The
central lounge features a cocktail bar stocked with a
discerning selection of beers, wines and spirits; and the
stylish boutique showcases a tempting array of gifts, safari
accessories, books and cultural crafts.
To the rear of the lounge a bar and boutique are fashioned
from rope-lashed hardwoods and back-lit by whimsical coconut
shades; and beyond them a rock-hewn stairway leads to a
classically styled dining tent with soul-stirring views over
the sun-blazed plains.
