Lemala Mpingo Ridge 

Show-stopping Tarangire views

Lemala Mpingo Ridge brings new heights of luxury to Tarangire, with 15 super-chic tented suites in a stunning safari setting.

There’s possibly no better way to explore Tarangire National Park than beginning perched on the rocks of Lemala Mpingo Ridge, elevated over the grasslands with nothing short of sensational views. Here, luxury design meets natural landscape and shows how a contemporary aesthetic and traditional craftsmanship can go hand-in-hand with the African wilderness.

If you want to split up your game driving days, you’ve got Champagne and snacks followed by afternoon siestas on your private deck's sunken bed and nocturnal drives are also on offer before safari sundowners around a blazing camp fire.

Why we love Lemala Mpingo Ridge

  • This is the best place to come if you want to see giant ancient baobab trees and the extraordinary Silale Swamps, which bring large herds of elephant to the park

  • There's an infinity-edge swimming pool where, if you get up early enough, you’ll be lucky to see the far peak of Mount Kilimanjaro before the sun appears

  • A special feature at Mpingo Ridge is that can offer exciting night drives

  • Fall asleep to the nocturnal sounds of Tanzania in the cloud-like king-size beds draped in nets
