🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Mara Mara Tented Lodge by Tanganyika Wilderness Camps is a luxury lodge in the North Serengeti, positioned close to the Mara River. It’s aimed at guests seeking lodge-scale amenities—swimming pool, solid rooms, reliable service—while being within striking distance of the famous wildebeest river crossings (July–October). Its balance of comfort and prime location makes it popular with couples and families who want a polished base for the migration season.

Pricing: typically $1,300–$1,450 per double in high season; around $780–$870 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Lemala Mara Tented Camp (luxury; tented authenticity closer to the river) and Mara Under Canvas by TWC (luxury; mobile camp that shifts with herds). Step up: Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge (premium luxury; villas with panoramic views). Step down: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; simpler canvas, same dawn advantage).

Safari context: River crossings demand patience—being based at Mara Mara reduces travel time, increasing your chance of being in position when herds plunge.
