Perched high on an escarpment above the perennial Tarangire River, Lemala Mpingo Ridge offers one of the most beautiful vantage points from which to experience the park. From this elevated sanctuary, the valley unfolds in a spectacular panorama of golden plains, woodland and ancient baobabs, while the changing light creates a new view with every hour. It is a place where the wilderness feels vast, peaceful and wonderfully close.
The lodge features just 15 spacious suites, each carefully positioned to make the most of the extraordinary views and cooling breezes. Inside, super-king or twin beds, elegant en-suite bathrooms and thoughtful natural details create a refined sense of comfort. Private decks extend the living space outdoors, while sunken outdoor lounges transform into peaceful afternoon siesta beds. Each suite also features a private outdoor bathtub — an indulgent way to wash away the dust of the day while surrounded by the sounds of Africa.
At the elevated main lodge, guests can move effortlessly between relaxation and the wilderness. A spacious lounge and bar provide inviting places to unwind, while indoor and outdoor dining allow every meal to become part of the experience. The swimming pool offers a refreshing pause beneath the African sky, while the spa provides soothing treatments designed to restore body and mind after a day of exploration.
The wilderness surrounding Mpingo Ridge invites guests to experience Tarangire in different ways. Set out on expertly guided game drives, venture into the bush on an early morning walk, experience the thrill of a night game drive, or rise above the landscape on a hot-air balloon safari. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Mpingo Ridge is more than an elegant place to stay — it is a sanctuary above the Tarangire wilderness, where extraordinary views, intimate luxury and the timeless rhythm of the bush come together.

Incredible experience with Back to Eden Adventures As the Great Migration season kicks off in June, I'm excited to share my unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Back to Eden Adventures. Their expert guide Hassan took us on thrilling game drives, bringing us face-to-face with incredible wildlife. We savored every moment, eagerly awaiting sightings of lions and cheetahs in action. The highlight of our trip was a luxurious 2-day glamping adventure deep in the middle of forest, with impeccable service from the staff. Special thanks to Laurent and Gift and for their exceptional customer service, which truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Back to Eden Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian adventure.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great safari experience! Planned a trip for my parents and another couple, and they had an amazing time! They mentioned Laurent specifically took very good care of them during the whole tour and to their particular needs whether it was the food, their medical conditions etc. I definitely recommend this tour for safari in Serengeti. Reach out to Laurent! He's so easy to get along with and communicate with so that you can plan in advance with him before your trip.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
