Perfect Central Serengeti location - value for money

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 9, 2018
Very well organized tented camp with excellent staff
The tents were very cosy and very big. The food was a pleasant surprise (as in most tented camps we visited)
The location is ok, even though central serengeti is a vast area and sometimes you need to drive a bit more for wildlife viewing
Excellent value for the money

    Serengeti Mawe Tented Camp is the great place to spend nights during Safari in Serengeti. The tents were very comfortable, clean. The only problem was the warm water in the shower and charging electronic equipment. The camp is far away from any other lodgings and has the electricity from the solar panels. But ask staff for help with this and will be happy to help. The food was very good and prepared fresh every day. Very safe place. Security guards will walk you to and from the tent. During the night, we could hear wild animals close to the camp! So excited! In the afternoon we could go around the camp with the staff members to see the area and learn about the history of the camp as well as about animals, their habitats or behaviors. We personally prefer tented camps then hotels or other buildings lodgings, because we could feel more connected with nature.

    It looks like a tent but it’s not. Its palatial inside with large beds a big shower with hot water and big ante room and 2 beds so it can sleep 4 adults. We felt we should have known that and we could have shared and cut our cost of staying into half. The sound of the thundershowers on the tent and the tropical warm rain and noises you can hear at night of the animals made it worth it! Embrace the lizards and small animals that skitter around and the food and chef are all lovely and obliging! Great laundry service too!

    The staff at the Serengeti Mawe tent camp could not have been nicer and made us feel safe throughout our 2-night stay. Dinner was delicious! It was exciting to hear animals outside our tent at night and see the tell tale sign of fresh foot prints in the morning.

    The Staffs are extremely amazing, delicious food, clean spacious tents. The camp is well located with the river crossing right in-front of the camp. It is more than a safari experience, it is a place where you can make genuine friends to give your stay the touch of life. I Highly Recommend

    Room tip: Great view and Confortable

    My group and I were at Mawe Tent Camp for 2 nights, 8-25/8-26/2018. I was all ready to give them a 5 star review until I got home and discovered I was robbed. It was a 10 day trip and Mawe Tent Camp was the only place we stayed 2 nights. I had forgotten that I brought my I-Pod with me and it was tucked away and zipped up in a pouch at the very bottom of my suit case. So that means these guys dug thru all my stuff to look for things of value! What is very disappointing is that we all went out of our way to tip them well before during and after our stay. I was not going to mention the following in my 5 star review had I not been robbed. The food while it was good, couple people from my group found flies and hair in their food. Thank goodness I took my cash, credit cards, and passport with me on my safari during the day. I know you might be thinking well, it's a 3rd world country. Theft is likely going to take place. But I still think it's worthwhile to write about it. Karma will bite them in the future!!!!

    Room tip: Just remember you are working with dishonest staff, ready to rob you behind your back!!!

    Dear Cindy,
    It saddens us to hear that you are suspecting Mawe camp staffs under reason that was the only place you stayed for two nights, sad enough we are all surprised to read it here, neither your ground tour operator nor our camp staffs are aware of this as this was never mentioned to them.
    Just spoke with your Tour Operator and seems that there were some stuffs left at previous hotel you stayed before staying at our camp, it might worth checking with them if you left your ipod there
    Incase of any further inquiry we are more than happy to go a further mile investigating your matter. You may contact me at your earliest convenience through info@serengeticamps.com or through your ground tour operator
    Regards
