We spent here 2 nights. We were not informed in the check in that they are available security boxes so we kept the money inside the tent. The only moments when we left the bag alone were the lunch and dinner times. 150$ were missing from the wallet!!! When we told the manager, he accepted our complains but he Didnt... More

We loved it here! The staff were wonderful and it's small, so you can get to know the staff a bit. Very comfortable and clean accommodations, great big bathrooms with hot water. Food was pretty good too.

Lovely location and great service. Rooms are spectacular...we had a twin with 2 massive double beds in it! Food was a bit disappointing – looked a lot better than it actually tasted. Breakfast was good although the coffee, which was great on day one, was not so great on the second day for some inexplicable reason! Packed lunches were ok.... More

We reserved a tent at Mbuzi Mawe for two nights on our safari. Hours before we were headed to the camp our guide received a call from Serena Hotels (who operate the camp) to see if we would move because the camp was overbooked. Our guide told them "they aren't hotel people." On their third phone call they offered to... More

This camp is beautifully hidden amongst a rocky outcrop in Central Serengeti. Game comes very close at night. However, we felt very safe in our first class tented accommodation. Staff were very delightful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was wonderful, with a choice, and four courses for dinner. We had a vast choice of food... More

From the crater, and after an additional stop at the Plantation Lodge, we moved on to the Seronera (Central Serengeti) via Olduvai Gorge. While the visit to the gorge was informative, the ‘class’ was essentially redundant and was riddled with uninformed tourists asking too many questions that could have been avoided had they viewed the museum first. We lodged at... More

This was the last and one of the nicest places we stayed at during our three-week safari to Northern Tanzania. We stayed at Mbuzi Mawe for two evenings while game driving northern parts of the Serengeti. The staff is top notch. They are very customer service orientated and try very hard to make sure their guests are enjoying their stay.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights while on safari and we truly enjoyed this camp. Our room was fantastic and backed onto the Serengeti wilderness! Our tent was very well maintained, everything worked great and it was very clean. They had local entertainment in the evenings which was quite enjoyable. The food here was wonderful and you had a choice... More
