Special, but not for everyone
The busy location in the north of Tarangire takes something away from Mawe Ninga. It’s a shame as this is a lovely camp.
Activities
Game drives
-
Mawe Ninga Tented Camp is well-situated for exploring the central and southern more remote areas of the park and game drives make the most of Tarangire’s wildlife.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Facilities & Amenities
The lodge is quite modest, with 12 canvas tents raised on wooden decks.
They are divided into a bedroom and a bathroom/dressing room area. They are very simple with log beds, a coat stand, lamps, a small canvas shower and chemical toilet.
