Set in the northern reaches of the Serengeti, Mara Mara Tented Lodge offers an intimate escape into one of Tanzania’s most spectacular wilderness landscapes. Surrounded by open plains and the dramatic scenery of the region, the lodge places guests close to the route of the Great Migration while offering a peaceful sanctuary to return to after a day of exploration. Here, the feeling is wonderfully remote — wide skies above, untouched wilderness around you, and the rhythm of Africa unfolding naturally each day.
The lodge’s spacious safari tents are designed to combine the romance of sleeping beneath canvas with the comfort of a refined retreat. Each tent offers a comfortable private space with an en-suite bathroom and a veranda where guests can pause and take in the surrounding wilderness. Natural materials and warm African-inspired details create an atmosphere that feels authentic and intimate, allowing the beauty of the Serengeti to remain at the centre of the experience.
Beyond the tents, welcoming communal spaces create opportunities to relax and connect. Enjoy freshly prepared meals, unwind with a drink after a day on safari, or gather around the campfire as the African night comes alive. The surrounding landscape also creates an extraordinary setting for sunrise and sunset moments, while the lodge’s location provides access to game drives and other experiences in the northern Serengeti.
What makes Mara Mara special is its connection to the wild and its position in one of the Serengeti’s most captivating regions. During the migration season, the northern Serengeti can become the stage for some of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife encounters, while throughout the year the area offers exceptional opportunities for exploring a quieter, less frequented side of the park. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Mara Mara Tented Lodge is an inviting choice for travellers seeking an authentic, intimate safari experience surrounded by the untamed beauty of northern Tanzania.
Experience the remote beauty of the northern Serengeti, surrounded by open landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
Comfortable private tents combine the romance of canvas accommodation with modern comforts and a genuine connection to nature.
Its northern location places guests close to the spectacular landscapes associated with the Great Migration and its dramatic river crossings.
Enjoy peaceful evenings, warm hospitality, open-air moments, and the feeling of being immersed in the wilderness rather than simply visiting it.

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![]()
