We stayed 2 nights just a week ago. And has an amazing time. People are so nice, polite and helpful. Nothing is too much, always eager to please and make it so special for guests. Granted water is manually filled in shower tanks for each tent and water from shower comes out in thin dribbles. But this is what makes it so special being in the wild, conserving water and being one with nature. I do feel very sorry for the workers who have to carry buckets of water and fill tanks. Even at 5 in the morning it was not too much for them to make hot water available.
And food was super delicious. 3 course dinner in the middle of nowhere. Not to forget bonfire in the evening sitting out in the open watching sky full of stars.
All this was made special by all those who work at Tingitana!

I stayed here two nights and so glad I did. I enjoy the place, my tent, the food and the staff. My room was spacious for a solo traveler. Hot water or water for that matter was generous. The staff were there ready to provide water for my bath. I love the colorful curtains inside the room. I love the cotton blanket and sheet on my bed. It added comfort to my sleep. I did hear some animal outside my tent (I wanted to investigate and use my lamp to see what type of animal, but I was too tired to get up). I just love the sounds of the animals around (sounds that I don't normally hear back home). The guy who guards the tent at night has a bow and arrow (his own protection). He was so nice to escort me early in the morning to the dining area tent to get breakfast (it was 5:30 am). At night, he would escort me back to my tent and zipped the outer zipper for me. They all wish me a good day for game drive. I will stay here again when I come back.

We stayed at the Tingitana camp for three nights during our recent safari with 4x4 Adventure Safaris to the northern Serengeti. The location of the camp is excellent and the wildebeest were literally walking past our tent as they were heading to the river. We could spot giraffe and zebras, as well as thousands of wildebeest right from our tent. The fireside atmosphere is nice and the camp serves nuts or popcorn here.

As this was our 7th safari and we have stayed in many camps I can honestly say service and food at this tented camp should be improved. First of all the first night I was seriously bitten by bugs. The next day I realized that our mosquito net had a huge hole in it. The net was changed after I asked it to be but this should have never happened. This camp refused to bring us a wake up tea or coffee to our tent in the morning. Instead we had to go to the main dining tent to get it. The camp (as noted my another recent review) does not have any coffee- only instant coffee with powdered milk. This is seriously sad in a coffee producing country- a French press is an easy way to make “real”coffee in the bush. We expected better food as this camp is owned by a French gentleman but the menus seemed to be taken from a 1960s British cook book- watery soup, meat and boiled veg, plus roly-poly cake for dessert. We did not go hungry but the menus were uninspiring. I wish we could have had Tanzanian food. Also it would be nice if the staff removed their shoes when they went into your rooms- they stomped in wearing muddy rubber boots.

Despite these hiccups, we did have a great time because we saw so much. During our 5 game drives we saw four large crossings as well as lions, a leopard and a cheetah. When it comes down to it; it does not really matter where you stay as everyone sees the same animals. Staying at any mobile tented camp is an amazing escape from pressures of the world. Choosing the right guide and safari company is the most important part of the safari. Our guide from 4x4 Adventure Safaris made our trip to the northern Serengeti special.
