Mbalageti Safari Camp

Mbalageti Safari Camp — Where Lions Roar and the Restaurant Overlooks the Plains

Mbalageti Safari Camp is consistently rated #4 of 13 Serengeti hotels on TripAdvisor with 738 reviews — one of the most-reviewed and well-regarded western Serengeti properties. The camp's distinctive approach to camp is itself a wildlife experience: guests must cross a river ford on the way in, passing through an area "that is a haven for so many animals: lions, elephants, baboons, zebras." The camp is unfenced and surrounded by wildlife — guests describe "falling asleep and waking up to the sound of lions roaring" as the highlight.

The restaurant is set high on a ridge with an uninterrupted panoramic view of the Serengeti plains. Multiple reviews describe zebras, buffalo and wildebeest grazing below while dining, and "a local lion family that you can see almost every day." The camp has 14 standard rooms, 24 tented chalets and 5 luxury suites — a substantial property with a full spa, pool with poolside bar and all-inclusive options. The Grumeti airstrip gives easy fly-in access from Arusha. 9.2 couples rating on Booking.com.
