Mara Mara Tented Lodge

Mara Mara Tented Lodge

Mara Mara Tented Lodge is a permanent tented safari lodge in the Kogatende area of Northern Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Located close to the Mara River region, it offers a comfortable base for exploring one of East Africa’s best-known wildlife destinations, particularly during the Great Wildebeest Migration season. The lodge combines the atmosphere of a canvas safari tent with the comforts of a well-equipped lodge. Guest accommodation includes spacious tented suites raised on wooden platforms, with private decks overlooking the surrounding landscape. Inside, guests can enjoy comfortable king-size or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom, a bathtub and an outdoor shower. Family accommodation is also available, including interconnected tents suitable for travelling together. The shared facilities include a restaurant, bar, lounge and swimming pool, providing welcoming places to relax between game drives. Wi-Fi, electricity, laundry service and room service are among the listed facilities. The lodge is arranged in northern and southern sections, offering different accommodation areas within the property. Northern Serengeti is especially popular between approximately July and October, when migrating wildebeest and zebras may gather around the Mara River. River crossings are natural events and their timing is unpredictable, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Outside the migration period, the region can still offer rewarding wildlife viewing, depending on local conditions and animal movements. Guests can explore the surrounding plains and river areas on game drives with a professional safari guide. Wildlife in the wider ecosystem includes wildebeest, zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs and other species, although individual sightings depend on the day and location. Mara Mara Tented Lodge is a suitable option for couples, families and safari travellers seeking a comfortable stay in Northern Serengeti with access to the Mara River region. It can be combined with Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and other Northern Tanzania destinations in a tailor-made safari itinerary.
