Mpingo Ridge runs along high ground above the Tarangire River’s valley — fifteen expansive suites with floor-to-ceiling views over the park’s signature scene: elephant herds moving between baobabs to the water below.
Lemala built it as the park’s comfort benchmark — decks with daybeds, indoor-outdoor bathrooms, and sundowners poured against one of northern Tanzania’s great panoramas.
Tarangire’s most stylish view — open-fronted suites above the Minjingu plains.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the lodge doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a lodge can only sell you its own rooms; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at Kilimanjaro airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know how Mpingo Ridge’s elevated comfort compares with Tarangire’s classic camps and the Chem Chem concession next door — and where its two or three nights belong in your circuit.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The lodge looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
Epic luxury safaris and just magical. I was referred by a friend in the USA — Evance customized our trip beautifully, the accommodation was first class and our guide so professional. Will definitely be back.
