Mapito Tented Camp

Mapito Tented Camp is a relatively simple, classic tented camp that is located in the Ikoma region, which is technically just outside the boundaried of the national park. Offering just 10 tents, Mapito Tented Camp is small and intimate. And, because it stands outside the park boundaries, the camp is able to offer walking safaris and night game drives, neither of which are permitted within the boundaries of the park.
Standing in a clearing surrouinded by acacia trees, Mapito (which means animal tracks) camp is within easy reach of all the highlights of the annual migration of the wildebeest, particularly the famous Grumeti River.  

Location

The Serengeti National Park is 200 kms west of Arusha, Tanzania: the park’s northern boundary abuts with the Kenya border, its western boundary reaches Lake Victoria, Tanzania.

Accommodation

A small camp, Mapito Tented Camp offers just 10 spacious walk-in safari tents thus providing an intimate atmosphere for only 20 people, with excellent service of our friendly staff. Mapito Tented Camp’s tents are 10 x 13 x 7 ft. in size, spacious and well-equipped. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with flush WC, wash basins, and hot bucket showers. Each luxury tent has its own spacious private, furnished verandah overlooking the Serengeti plains.
The tents are netted, so that they are insect-proof. Lighting is by kerosene lamps and is reminiscent of ‘old Africa’. On chilly nights a hot water bottle is tucked between the freshly laundered cotton sheets.

Dining and bars

Mapito Tented Camp has a central buffet-styled dining area serving a selection of international and local dishes. The camp also features a well-stocked bar and drinks are served around the campfire in the evenings, in typical safari style.

Child-friendly

Mapito Tented Camp welcomes children and family tents are available.

Activities

Viewing of the great annual wilderbeest migration, guided game drives and walks, bush meals and ornithology. Visits can also be made to the local communities, with which this eco-friendly safari camp works closely.

Typical safari experiences at Mapito Tented Camp include: safari game drives in especially adapted 4WD safari vehicles (with professionally trained Tanzania safari guides), safari bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners; cocktails around the camp safari campfire and guided safari walks through the bush. Mapito Tented Camp also offers ornithological tours, cultural performances and visits to the local Maasai people of Tanzania.
In the Serengeti, a particular highlight is a hot air balloon ride, which typically ascends from its launch site at dawn and travels for around an hour across the plains before descending in a controlled landing to a cooked safari breakfast in the bush.
