Great location in Ndutu on the Ndutu Lake marsh. Staff were very eager to help and meet your needs. But some basic flaws - didn't provide torch lights at night, tent zippers were not all working, tent had some holes with water leaking during the rain. Not luxury by any means. Just need to go in with the right expectations.

Overall the Ndutu Wildlands Camp is wonderful and a terrific place to spend one or two nights. The staff while friendly and efficient were at times indifferent. The food is very good as far as safari food is concerned. There are some limitations as to selection of drinks (understandable in that they have to be trucked in from a distance).... More

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. An authentic safari experience with roaring lions outside your tent at night? You got it. But that also comes with slimy water (I felt like I needed another shower after taking one), a toilet that doesn't flush at night (and smells really, really bad), some serious mosquitoes and mediocre food. I... More

We recently returned from a 4 day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area of Tanzania. Our safari company, Hazina Afrika, recommended a mix of permanent lodges (Seronera Wildlife Lodge and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge) and mobile camps (Ndutu Wildlands Camp). We ended up sending 2 nights at Ndutu Wildlands Camp while we explored the surrounding area with our Hazina... More

I stayed at the Ndutu Wildlands camp for 7 nights between 4th and 10th February, 2012. I am a keen wildlife photographer and was looking for basic comfort, decent food and proximity to wilderness. My agent decided to put me up in this camp. I am over joyed. On all three accounts, I could not have asked for more. This... More

If you are planning a Wildlife Photo Safari in the wilderness, this is the place to stay. Simple, neat and clean tents without fences. No fancies yet had all the basics we needed clean comfortable bed, flush toilets and hot water showers in the tent. We spent a whole week there. ( Feb 4th-Feb 11th 2012 ). We heard animal... More

We stayed in ndutu wildlands camp two nights and loved it. The staff are so helpful and friendly; they could not have been nicer. The food was very good. A tent type accomodation may not suit everyone, but if you want to really experience the Serengeti wildness, this is a way to do it. We heard hooves running near our... More
