Mpingo Ridge Lodge
The property
An opulent escarpment lodge over the Tarangire River valley, panoramic elephant plains, bonfires under the acacias, deep in the park.
Built in 2019 high on an escarpment deep in Tarangire, Mpingo Ridge looks out over the river valley and the elephant-rich plains of a forgotten, ancient wilderness. Five-star comfort with a rare ability to get under your skin: the aroma of old forests, firelight under the acacias, the sound of lions carrying across the dark, and the intimacy of being miles from anywhere.
I
Where it sits
Built in 2019 high on a remote Tarangire escarpment over the perennial river valley. The drive in is long, especially from Ngorongoro, but the reward is an uninterrupted outlook over the park’s most game-rich country, with cooling breezes at elevation.
II
The rooms
Fifteen tented suites, each with a private outdoor bathtub and shower over the valley, a sunken lounge, a private deck and a large en-suite.
