Agent Tips

  • Big Tusker elephant encounters are a signature here—these elephants are among the largest-tusked remaining in East Africa, making sightings in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area particularly memorable
  • The Silent Walk is one of the collection’s most distinctive experiences—moving through the bush on foot with a Maasai guide offers an entirely different perspective on the landscape.
  • Couples celebrating a wedding or milestone can arrange a Maasai blessing ceremony for a meaningful connection to local tradition.
Accommodations

Thoughtful design keeps the surrounding landscape firmly in focus.

The collection of camps and lodges spans northern Tanzania’s remarkable landscapes, from the boundless savannas of the Serengeti to an exclusive-use protected wildlife area between Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks. Each property is shaped by its surroundings—the terrain and textures, trees and grasses, colors and cultures. A sense of space and seclusion runs throughout the collection, with thoughtful design intended to deepen your connection to the wild.

At Mwiba Lodge, each of the ten suites opens onto a private deck overlooking the wilderness. Inside, generous windows flood the space with light, highlighting hardwood floors, brass fixtures, hand-carved antiques, and contemporary touches. After a day of adventure, plush sofas, deep soaking tubs, and generous king beds create an inviting place to unwind.
