Africa Safari Glamping, Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania –

Lock in a great price for Africa Safari Glamping – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

We weren't expecting much of this place given how low the prices were compared to other lodges, but we loved every minute of our stay here. We even spent 2 afternoons just lazing around at the campsite which is not our style at all, we usually go out and explore, but it was just such a nice place! The rooms are big, beds are comfortable, fully functional bathrooms, great food and very professional staff. Other reviews say it's hard to find, yes it's not very straight-forward but we found it on our first try, just drive slowly and look out for the signs on the side of the road. The only reason I can think of for the price being so low is that the lodge isn't in the middle of a national park, but Mto Wa Mbu is a really nice village that you don't want to miss (the lodge offers village tours for $20, we did it and it was really cool). Tarangire is a 1-hour drive, Manyara is 20 minutes, Serengeti may be a bit far but the others are all easily within reach.

The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The tent was huge, very clean and didn‘t lack anything. We booked a game drive to Serengeti with overnight stay and the driver/guide Mollel did everything to make this trip a great one!

Fabian, Germany

We had a great stay at Africa Safari Glamping. The tents are spacious and clean. We liked dinnertime in the evening in one of the communal tents. Most of the time we were away so we haven't seen much of the property during the daytime.

Fabienne, Belgium

Excellent staff. Beautiful grounds. Security is very good. Big tents with hot water (just takes a couple minutes). Beds are comfortable.

Chrisneilson, Canada

The place is really relaxing, nature and people around the camp are beautiful. I can only recommend to stay at Africa Safari Glamping and would love to come back.

Recently opened lodge. Everything is still literally "growing". Good food. Great service. Great staff. Fireplace at night. Awesome safari drives (Lake and Ngorongoro) for a reasonable price. Great, experienced, young, motivated guides. Tents are very cool. Bed and bathroom in them are huge! Nice terrace.

I arrived at this town by bus and hired a bike to reach the camping. The village is very pretty and located in a kind of lush oasis. Nice swimming pool Watch out the monkeys around your tent...

Christian, Spain

The kindness and efficiency of the staff, they made us feel at home. The location was enchanting and very much taken care of. The buildings were all new and very clean. The presence of wild monkeys in the beautiful park. The great value for money of the excursions and extra services like airport pick up/drop off.

It's a bit pricey for the luxury tent value wise. It would be nice if they had a ceiling or even just a plug in fan for the warm nights. Good was ok, but pricey.
Excellent staff. Beautiful grounds. Security is very good. Big tents with hot water (just takes a couple minutes). Beds are comfortable.

“Good base camp for safaris”
- • Leisure trip

Our safari tent was not well equipped neither cosy. There would be enough space for chairs and table in a tent. No glasses or hangers were provided. Also the privacy is compromised. No lock or safety box in a tent and no door in the bathroom. The whole concept is slightly overpriced as well as the meals and drinks which are three times more expensive than in the village. However, this is probably the case at all the lodges in this region.
Easy to reach from Mto Wa Mbu village by tuktuk (3000-5000 TSH) or by walking (45 min.), well sign-posted. Safaris available from the camp. Our safari tent was big as well as the bed. Personel were friendly and spoke good English. The location is very good for safaris. Monkeys did not disturb us at all.

Pool water needs to be exchanged and chlored. We could not use it! Ponds were only mud and no water in. Once you book a tour, make sure you paid everything and explain clearly what you want to prevent surprises at the checkout!
Nice area for relaxing after the Safaris and reasonable Safari pricing! Tents are beautiful, comfortable and clean! In the morning birds waking you up and also monkeys are around. A great thanks to Pemba our guide, who had an excellent eye for animals and knows so much about the nature. A good thing are the two small yelow Safari Jeeps the camp has, cause you have an open view all the time and not have to stand up looking through the open roof or open the windows all the time! Especially Our waiter Jazz was very polite and helpful.

We stayed in the Safari Tent and the wind can cause a bit of noise at night. Maybe the Luxury Tents are better for this. Also the laundry service was a bit overpriced. Other than that no real complaints.

This is the worst property I ever stayed. I have booked a luxury Tent & it turned out to be most uncomfortable stay for us as all the rooms are see-through including Bathroom. I travelled with my family & we had to totally compromise our privacy & comfort. The property staff is purely money-minded & doesn't care about serving the customer Finally, the food is pathetic. We ordered for Lunchboxes & couldn't eat them.
Nothing. Absolute waste of money.

There could be 1-2 more signs showing the way - arrows would be very helpful. OpenStreetMaps (App mapsme) shows a location behind the camp so that you have to turn and drive back to find the entrance. At night this can be a problem.

The signage to the camp and the Google map direction are not well positioned. Calls to the hotel are not picked, just either voice recorder from some international line, local number was switched off, mails were not responded too in good time. Generally remote communication should be improved...face to face customer relationship was great and pleasant...
The tents were well spaced and equiped, very relaxed environment

At night there were not many lights so it was a bit dark walking around the property not being able to see where you were stepping into. The only negative part of our experience was the amount of mosquitos. There were many... Of course this had nothing to do with the Glamping it selves but it had a big influence on the total feeling of our stay.
We had a great stay at Africa Safari Glamping. The tents are spacious and clean. We liked dinnertime in the evening in one of the communal tents. Most of the time we were away so we haven't seen much of the property during the daytime.
