Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp

We spent three nights at Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp. We are impressed with the good location and the great staff of this camp. The area around the uroismaic with rocks on which you can meet lions and rock goats (mbuzi mawe). A few minutes away from the camp you can meet flocks of buffalo, elephants, zebras, impali, etc. We will definitely visit Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp in June.

A wonderful lodge offering a perfect blend of comfort and nature. The atmosphere is peaceful, the service is excellent, and the overall experience is truly memorable. Ideal for relaxation and reconnecting with nature.The food is well-prepared, offering a variety of delicious options to suit different tastes.

When we arrived at Mbuzi Mawe, I felt like I had stepped onto a movie about a safari. Yes we stayed in “tents” but these are tents with real floors, real beds, hot water, and 24-hour electricity (and Wi-fi). At the same time this is very much the wild as when our escort came to take us to dinner he pointed out several African Buffalo less than 5 yards from the doors of our tents and we absolutely heard the lions at night. Our dinner was excellent - be sure to try the Serengeti Balls (they are amazing chocolate cake balls) - and the local Tanzanian dish was highly flavorful. This was the only place on our safari where we were given the option of picking what we wanted for lunch the following day in some level of detail which was nice. We had also arranged a brief walking safari. We were accompanied by a nature guide who provided us with an interesting orientation to the flora and fauna of the area and adapted our route when part of the path was blocked by buffalo. We were also joined by one of the park rangers too. The walk was not long or difficult and it was a nice chance for us to see things on foot instead of from a vehicle and is something I would recommend if you have the chance.

My family and I had an amazing time at the Mbuzi Mawe lodge. The place was clean with all the creature comforts while maintaining the rustic ambiance. The lodge had a nice balcony to enjoy the breathtaking expansiveness of the Serengeti. Food was good too and great service all around. I was able to get an in-room massage which was very good for the price. We celebrated our son’s 9th birthday at the lodge. I had reached out to the hotel front desk to arrange for a cake; the staff made the occasion quite memorable by singing the birthday song in Swahili and bringing the cake during dinner time. All in all, great lodge and I would highly recommend it.

The staff here made us feel so special on our honeymoon - they were amazing! So warm and friendly - they danced and sang for us and made us a special cake. Our room was very comfortable - we stayed for 2 nights. Food was excellent and drinks from the bar - we could watch the football as well and play some cards in the lounge. We were woken one night by an elephant right outside our tent - it was so cool! You really felt part of nature and very safe even being so close. Thank you to all the staff here.

We were on a 10 day safari and were able to spend 1 night at this beautiful tented camp closely situated to excellent game viewing. Several cape buffalos spent the night bedded down near our tent to keep us company! A really great camp with kind and attentive people. The Klipspringers jumped from rock to rock with amazing agility as if to welcome us there.
