Mapito Safari Camp, Serengeti – Wild Luxury Beneath the African Sky

Where Wilderness Meets World-Class Comfort

Welcome to Mapito Safari Camp, Serengeti, where Marriott’s first Autograph Collection in Tanzania redefines luxury in the heart of the wild. Meaning “pathway” in Swahili, Mapito is your gateway to one of Earth’s most extraordinary natural theaters — where the Big Five roam freely, and the Great Wildebeest Migration paints the plains with life and motion.

Just 20 minutes from Fort Ikoma Airstrip, Mapito Safari Camp combines untamed adventure with refined sophistication, delivering a seamless fusion of authentic African spirit.

Luxury Tents Designed for Serenity and Stargazing

At Mapito Safari Camp, your tent is more than accommodation — it’s an experience. Each of the 15 luxury tented suites is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in nature’s rhythm while offering the comfort and craftsmanship expected of a world-class resort.

  • Retractable Roofs for Stargazing: Watch the Serengeti night sky come alive with countless stars from the privacy of your tent.

  • Outdoor Rain Showers: Refresh yourself under the open sky, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of the bush.
  • Private Verandas: Perfect for early-morning coffee or late-evening contemplation with the sounds of the wild as your soundtrack.

At Mapito Safari Camp, every sunrise and sunset brings discovery. The camp’s prime location near a natural water source ensures frequent visits from elephants, lions, zebras, and other magnificent creatures.

  • Day Safaris: Witness the breathtaking drama of the Serengeti in full daylight — lions on the prowl, herds in motion, and birds in flight.
  • Night Safaris: Step into the secret world of nocturnal wildlife illuminated by the stars.
  • Guided Nature Walks: Led by expert rangers, experience the Serengeti’s smaller wonders up close — tracks, plants, and stories that define the land.

Dining & Culinary Experiences

Njia Restaurant – A Journey of Flavours

Meaning “path” in Swahili, Njia Restaurant celebrates the diverse tastes of Africa while blending international influences. Every plate is crafted using the freshest local ingredients, creating dishes that reflect both innovation and tradition.

Dress Code: Smart casual (shirt and slacks required)

Njia Lounge – The Art of Relaxation

A peaceful hideaway perfect for quiet reflection or a post-safari cocktail. Enjoy a curated selection of beverages while the golden Serengeti sunset paints the horizon.

The Boma – Taste the African Night

Gather around the warmth of the fire pit and enjoy artisanal cocktails, local delicacies, and the rhythmic sounds of African drums echoing through the night. It’s an authentic cultural encounter beneath the stars.

Mapito Bar – Sundowners with a View

Experience the best seat in the Serengeti. Skilled mixologists craft signature cocktails inspired by the land — think Baobab-infused gin and Moringa mojitos — as the sky transforms from amber to indigo.

Reawaken your senses with treatments inspired by indigenous African botanicals. The spa features two double treatment rooms where therapists use natural ingredients like Baobab oil, Moringa extracts, and local herbs to promote deep relaxation and healing.
