Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp; Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp lies in the Northwest of the Serengeti within easy reach of the prime wildlife theatres of Lobo, the Western Corridor of the Grumeti River, the southern grass plains, the Seronera Valley and the kopjes, or inselbergs, of Barafu, Gol, Masai, Loliondo, Simba and Moru.

Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp – which means 'Klipspringer' in English – is set amidst the bush and rocky outcrops of central Serengeti. Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp belongs to the Serena group of hotels/lodges, although this camp is one of the groups smaller and more intimate lodges; it's much more personal than many of the large hotels in the Serena chain.

Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp is tucked away, off the main road leading from Seronera to the northern Serengeti. It is a convenient stop-over point for anyone traveling north or south, and is far from most other properties. That said, there are few game-drive roads in this area, and so few options for drives apart from to head north or south on the main road.

Mbuzi Mawe currently has16 big, en-suite tents, the accommodation here is simple, but being under canvas adds to the wilderness feel of the place. Long, stone ramps lead up to the tents which are all well spaced out in a woodland glade.

These are surrounded by towering rocky outcrops – which are inhabited by inquisitive rock daisies, along with larger and more dangerous wildlife!

Some tents have lovely sweeping views from their outside decks, and the layout of Mbuzi Mawe means that you can also admire these from some of the camp's public areas. There is a fire pit below the main tent for sitting around in the evenings and chatting about the days sightings!

Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp is particularly popular when the Serengeti wildebeest migration passes through this area. Typically this is during March and April, when it's on its way north, and then again around November to January, when the migration is heading south through the east side of the Park.
