Maramboi Tented Camp is ideally placed to explore the ecosystems of both Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. Sited on the endless rolling golden grasslands and palm-fringed desert that lies between Tarangire and Lake Manyara, the camp offers the splendor of the Great Rift Valley, stunning views over Lake Manyara, easy access to the Ngorongoro Highlands and the background of Ol Donyo Lengai, the sacred mountain of the Maasai.

Maramboi Tented Camp is situated on a 25,000 hectare Maasai communal ranch.  During the wet season the ‘pans’ (shallow depressions) of this area fill with water, which attracts huge flocks of flamingoes and other waterbirds. The camp is also ideally placed for watching the migration of the wildebeest, which on the tree-less plains can be more easily and more graphically observed than elsewhere. The camp offers just 20 spacious tents, all surrounded by timber decks, while activities include guided walks, ornithology and cultural interaction with the Datoga and Maasai people, whose communities lie adjacent to the camp.  The camp also offers its own swimming pool.
