Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Tarangire

Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge is Tarangire’s flagship premium luxury property, perched high above the valley with sweeping views over the baobab-studded plains. It appeals to honeymooners, photographers, and discerning safari-goers who want high design, private plunge pools, and some of the most spectacular sundowner spots in northern Tanzania. From here, you watch elephants tracing the Tarangire River while sipping cocktails on your deck.

Pricing: typically $2,445–$2,650 per double in high season; around $1,465–$1,590 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier: Nimali Tarangire (premium luxury; designer interiors, spa and close river access). Step down to luxury: Lolkisale Bush Camp (luxury; intimate bush camp by Silale). For value, Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge (luxury) offers access without the ultra-premium trimmings.

Safari context: Elevated location makes this a lodge to return to for long midday breaks and unforgettable sunsets before evening game drives.
