We spent two nights here the first week of April as part of a safari with Real Adventures. It was definitely the nicest accommodation we had, the tents are beautiful and love the outdoor shower. Sitting on the screened in porch and listening to the hippos was so relaxing. The buffets were very good and beer and wine were included... More

Wow! This place rocks! This about the 15th or 20th tent camp we have stayed at in Africa, including South Africa. It is now our favorite. First one we've ever been to where the drinks (except hard booze) are free, including the bottled water. It is run by the Masai and elder chief "Willie" is the perfect host. The tents... More

We splurged for this and weren't disappointed. The location is gorgeous and are truly in the wilderness. The sound of the hippos grunting in the nearby lake was fantastic. The accomodations were perfection and the food was nice--everyone took great pride in their work.

What an amazing camp. The tents were so luxurious we didn't want to leave. Very comfortable and very well looked after. A lovely bath to lie in with a large glass of wine! The food was great and all drink included which made a nice change. We woke in the morning to a small gathering of wildebeast outside our room... More

We arrived at Lake Masek Tented Camp after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was my favorite place by far. The camp was amazing. Our room was perfect, a huge bed (incredibly comfortable) with an ensuite bathroom and an outdoor shower. You were right by Lake Masek and you could hear all... More

We arrived late afternoon so light was fading and after the luxurious surroundings of Mbuzie Mawe, our initial impressions were not that great as the place externally looks a bit shabby and dark as the power had not come on. However, the rooms were amazing and the system they have for dinner and lunch is great as it allows the... More

this was our last stop in Tanzania and it was amazing. The tents were spacious and well appointed. The footed tub was just what we needed after bouncing around in the safari jeep for a week. Watching the sunset from the balcony while sipping the house wine(at no additional charge) was spectacular. It was nice to be able to dine... More

The accomodations at Lake Masek Tented Lodge are just superb. Overlooking Lake Masek and its complement of visiting elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, etc..., the elevated tents are large and airy with a great bathroom with shower under the stars (with very good water pressure and plenty of hot water). The main lodge has a beautiful outside balcony which is quite... More

While on an OAT safari to Kenya and Tanzania, we stayed for two nights at this lodge, and absolutely loved it! Talk about a romantic and exotic adventure! The room was large and well-appointed (except we did not like the single beds, preferring a larger bed), and the bathroom was luxurious and awesome (an outdoor shower AND a clawfoot tub!).... More

This was an average place to stay and might be better in the right season. The lake is saline and apart from a few sad looking hippos there is no game. We were left without transportation on arrival at the airstrip and very limited apologies for us having to arrive after long delay by kind favour of the parks guards... More
