Located between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks, so a convenient base of operations for both – about 2 hours from Arusha. Rooms are very spacious semi-permanent tents on raised platforms with nice baths & spacious showers. Meals are served buffet-style in the open-air lodge, which also has bar area, spacious deck and pool. Food exceeded expectations. Fantastic sunsets with... More

We stayed here while visiting Tarangire Park, and what a lovely haven we found it to be! The "tents" were nothing short of amazing and the lodge was exactly as you would imagine a tented camp to be in Africa. The beds were masive and comfortable and the showers had good pressure. The rooms were clean and well done considering... More

My husband and I stayed at this camp during a group tour safari in Tanzania. This was our least favorite accomodation. To be honest, we arrived around dinner very tired from a long day with an early start and then woke up at about 5:30 am to drive into Arusha. When we arrived with our bags, the staff disappeared with... More

The staff here were always smiling and very very welcoming.This was a good honest camp. It had very large tented accommodation. You didn't need a wake up call as the birds do that every morning! The food was plentiful and excellent. Choosing what to put in your lunch box yourself was a very pleasant surprise. Excellent location close to Lake... More

Spectacular location very close to Lake Manyara. Very nice restaurant, good food, good service. Loved my stay here. Tents not high tech, but everything you need was available and in good condition.

Located in the middle of really nothing but great nature. Next to Lake Manyara. Great pool. Good buffet. The tented lodges offering a good comfort with bathroom, good shower and seperate toilets. During the night, different security guards will accompany you to your tent, which can be 6 minutes walking if you are sleeping in one of the more recently... More

Although not realistic that we would be in once place for the entire safari, Maramboi Tented Camp was hands down the best place we stayed at. The scenery was shockingly amazing, the staff were really friendly and helpful, the breakfasts and dinners were plentiful and very delicious. The "tent" itself was not a tent. It was better than some hotels... More

Our group stayed here following our trip to Tarangire National Park. I was really surprised about how much I liked this camp. It was my favorite of the trip. It seemed like a perfect safari atmosphere. Sitting in the lounge area and soaking in the surrounding scenery. We were expecting to stay in one of their tent accommadation but ended... More

We only stayed one night and I would give a 5/5 if it wasn't for a couple of little things. When we arrived, we were told that our rooms had a problem with the electricity and they needed to move us. We had combined triple and double rooms. After a very long wait with complete darkness upon us, we were... More

Spending the night in a very well-appointed tent after a wonderful buffet dinner and a long day spent in Tarangire National Park seeing countless beautiful animals was a luxury not completely expected. The rooms are large and airy with very comfortable beds - large singles - a large bathroom with an excellent shower & lots of hot water. There were... More
