Set on the southern edge of the Serengeti and west of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area border, Mwiba Wildlife Reserve is covered with rolling hills, thickets, rock kopjes, and interspersed by seasonal rivers containing permanent water holes and more than 20 natural springs. The undulating nature of the site delivers a colour-infused landscape that is home to thriving wildlife populations such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, hyenas, among others. Over thirty freshwater springs provide water for these animals throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy walking safaris, picnic breakfasts, game drives, bush cuisine and rejuvenating sundowners at Mwiba Lodge – arguably the most luxurious lodge in the greater southern Serengeti migration area.
Overlooking a rocky gorge on the Arugusinyai River, this stylish safari sanctuary rises from an outcrop of granite boulders, gazing out over a candelabra and acacia tree-dotted landscape. Here, tranquillity and privacy underpin all aspects of the experience thanks to the lodge’s secluded setting on our exclusive-use concession and the dispersed layout of the 10 tented suites — all of which afford sweeping views over the surrounding wilderness.
Each luxury suite features a deep-soaking tub, indoor and outdoor shower, a personal minibar and a comfort-driven king-sized bed. The lodge’s first-rate facilities champion rejuvenation and relaxation and include a fully equipped gym, library, and pampering spa where guests can indulge in a range of African-inspired treatments. There is also a secluded jacuzzi and an infinity pool, both offering unobstructed views over the landscape below. Guests will enjoy family-style lunches at the lodge, while breakfasts and gourmet 3-course dinners are served à la carte.
Activities here include guided walking safaris that take you deep into the bush, day and night game drives with your private guide and vehicle, spectacular sundowners and authentic cultural experiences at a nearby Datoga village, and foraging walks with the Hadzabe tribe.
