Known for its 200-strong elephant herds and 700 resident lions, Tarangire is second only to Serengeti regarding wildlife numbers in Tanzania. Its varied landscape of grasslands, swamps, and woodlands is dominated by majestic, near-prehistoric baobab trees, is cut in two by the Tarangire River, and is home to more than 550 bird species.
Breathe in the Real Africa
The experiences on offer at our collection of properties provide lifelong memories. The golden landscapes you see from a hot air balloon, the close encounters you have with members of the Big 5, the smells of the bush in the morning as the animals begin to stir, the roar of the Nile heard from your bed… these are the moments you’ll take back with you and treasure forever.
Discover Mpingo Ridge Lodge
Lemala Mpingo Ridge sits on top of an escarpment with sweeping views across the perennial Tarangire River and valley below and matches the same outstanding standards of comfort and service as the other properties in Lemala’s collection.
Being the sixth largest national park in Tanzania, Tarangire remains slightly off the primary safari circuit but is a terrifically scenic park featuring classic African savannah, green hills, woodlands, and rivers and is especially famous for its large herds of elephants, superb birdlife, and giant baobab trees. Guests at Lemala Mpingo Ridge will enjoy a real sense of wilderness and excellent game viewing, and it’s both a relaxing standalone destination and a great place to start a safari that also combines Lemala properties in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.
Africa is a place of extraordinary sights and unlimited adventure. It is home to lofty peaks, giant fauna, wild rivers, and sweeping savannahs. It is where fantasies are set and memories are made. Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge provides the enriching safari experience you’ve always dreamed of.
