Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp

The room was good and the service was good. The chef made for us whatever we wanted for dinner. Jonas was an awesome waiter and friendly. Even breakfast was served well just the fried egg wasn’t done well but otherwise all good. No complains at all

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.

This was the second lodge that we stayed at during our 8 day safari. Great lodging and great staff. Lodging under canvas was first class with rainfall showers, full baths and comfortable beds. Excellent food choices. Incredible staff. Great location right next to the kopjes. You could see lions on the kopje from our tented room. Cape buffalo walked around at night and you could hear the hyenas. The walking safari with the naturalist and ranger is a MUST. We learned so much about the animals and environment and climbed the kopjes as well. Thanks Gift and George. The true safari experience. Don’t worry about the animals at night, there is a trained ranger to ensure your safety.

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.

Great place to stay - the staff were very nice, the food was delicious, and the rooms were great. The location has a lot of wildlife around it so lookout for hyrax and baboons walking around the campground. There's also lions nearby which is very convenient for an early morning game drive to spot some lions. Overall, we enjoyed staying there and had a great time!

The tented camp is in a wonderfully isolated location set on a koppie with all the tents looking out onto the surrounding savannah with game visible. rooms, food and service were all excellent. Dining area and lounge are set amongst trees.

Our trip was arranged through Africa Travel Resource and we are so grateful that they included four nights at the Mbuzi Mawe Serena camp, any initial doubts we may have had about staying in a tent in the Serengeti were very soon dispelled, these are tents on an entirely different level, beautifully appointed, set on a tiled floor with immaculate presentation and plumbing, electricity and wi-fi consistent with any hotel I have stayed in. The staff were all so warm and welcoming it would be unfair to name specifics , everybody combined to make our family stay a truly magical experience with the food being of an excellent standard, the packed lunches we were sent off with on our daily game drives were superb and, of course, what a fabulous location, you are literally living in the Serengeti with it's wildlife all around, you have to be sensible and listen to the expert guides who escort you around the site but that is all part of the wonderful experience. I would very much like to think that I will be able to visit again one day. Thank you all.
