We spent two nights at Mapito with our 5 young children (13, 11, 11, 10 and 6) and we absolutely loved it...What a terrific place...Rather than describe the details of the place (as it has been very well done by earlier posts), I will mention just a few of the things that made it so wonderful for us... 1. The... More

We really enjoyed our two nights stay at Mapito. The three teens were in one tent and we were in the other. The tents with the unique open to the sky bathrooms make it extra special. You can watch hornbills pick berries while you shower. They even left some pits by the sink. NB The toilet is not completely covered... More

Mapito is a lovely camp with helpful staff and good management. The other reviews do a good job of describing the camp - we just want to add our endorsement to the already excellent TA reviews. BTW - management has recently changed. Hannes has moved and the new managers are a young Dutch-German couple who have lots of experience managing... More

This is the small,intimate camp environment that I prefer in Africa. The tents are large with lovely front porches to have a drink and watch the sun set. I loved the outdoor, open to the sky shower. The food was average buffet with local options at each meal. This was the only place that we stayed in Africa that had... More

This is one of the most awesome places I have stayed in my entire life. If a tented camp in the Serengeti could be given a 5-star rating, Mapito would deserve it. My husband and I stayed here for two nights during a safari as part of our honeymoon in Africa. I wished we could have stayed longer. Upon our... More

Mapito Tent Camp was one of my favorite overnight spots during my safari. The tents are quite impressive, complete with running water and flush toilets in each tent. The showers are open air with a high stone wall encircling the back side of the tent. Everything was very clean and the tents are quite sizeable. I was not expecting such... More

We stayed two nights here while in Serengeti and it was the best we could ever hope for. Great location for game view - we saw a lion as soon as we got there and some warhogs in the early morning, besides hearing the hienas in the beginning of the night. The tents are luxurious and comfortable, the bathrooms are... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during our long trek from Nairobi to Arusha. All very acceptable and we do enjoy being out in the wilds. However, the tents were a little tired and in need of some attention - we had one zip that had jammed. This is apparently going to happen in a month or two's time and... More
