Mpingo Ridge Lodge
Set atop an escarpment overlooking the Tarangire River, Mpingo Ridge a perfect standalone lodge or great option for inclusion in an ongoing safari to The Serengeti and/or Ngorongoro Crater.

As the sixth largest national park in Tanzania, Tarangire National Park remains slightly off the main safari circuit, yet it is a spectacularly scenic destination. The park is known for its classic African savannah, green hills, woodlands, and rivers, and is especially famous for its large herds of elephants, exceptional birdlife, and iconic baobab trees. Guests will enjoy a true sense of wilderness alongside excellent game viewing, making it both a relaxing standalone destination and an ideal starting point for a broader safari experience that may include the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park.
Each of the 15 spacious suites has been carefully positioned to maximize the sweeping views over the Tarangire valley while also capturing cooling breezes during warm weather. Suites are furnished with twin or super king size beds, with triple options available on request. They feature en suite bathrooms, private decks, and sunken outdoor lounges that convert into comfortable siesta beds.
One suite offers two bedrooms, making it especially suitable for families or friends traveling together. A standout feature of each suite is the private outdoor bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a day on safari.
The elevated main lodge includes a large lounge and bar, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a spa, and a swimming pool, all designed to take full advantage of the panoramic surroundings.
Guests can enjoy a range of activities including sundowners, early morning walks, game drives, and night time game drives in custom designed four by four vehicles, all led by highly knowledgeable and experienced guides.
