Mbalageti Camp
Location - In western corridor of Serengeti, close to boundary with Maswa GR
Experience - Game drives in western corridor but out on a limb
Price Guide - $345 - 495 pppn
Mbalageti Camp sits on top of Mwamvini Hill in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti with fantastic views across the Serengeti plains and the Mbalageti River. This is a good location within the park and, although its slightly on a limb with a minimal network of game driving tracks close to the lodge itself, once you are back near the main park roads, you're never going to be far from some good game viewing.

This is a good mid range option and arguably offers a more interesting experience than staying in one of the large lodges which are the other option at this price bracket. Its a little too big to be particularly long on charm or ambience, but it has plenty to offer in terms of space and facilities and as a comfortable place from which to base your stay in this part of the Serengeti it's fine. One of its best assets is the pool, carved out of rock on the hillside providing 360 degree views of the Serengeti landscape.
The camp has a selection of accomodation, the most basic being standard rooms within the main lodge - decent sized rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and each having a private balcony. The next step up is the tents, of which there are 24 scattered around the hillside. These are spacious and well spread out ensuring as much privacy as possible. Each thatched tent has its own bathroom and most of them have great views. At the top there are 2 luxury suites for those wishing to have a bit more space and comfort.
Location - Serengeti and Surrounding Areas
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. The proliferation of animal life here simply defies belief and in the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
