Maramboi is a large, upmarket tented camp set amongst an oasis of palm trees, in a peaceful, private concession south-east of Lake Manyara. Just around the corner from Tarangire National Park, it’s close to all the big game action, with rolling views of open plains that showcase the surrounding wildlife. As an established camp, it operates like a well-oiled machine, ensuring all your needs are met and often exceeded. Despite its heart-of-the-bush location, guests can expect many of the creature comforts associated with with slick city hotels, but at a fraction of the price tag.

The lodge

The centrally positioned main area is built and situated to make the most of the stunning surrounds. Connected by raised wooden paths and built-on raised wooden floors, it boasts views of golden grassed plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. The lounge is inviting and spacious with comfortable sofas and chairs, characterful hardwood furniture and hand-carved ornaments. Dining under swaying palms with a gorgeous view is the order of the day. Of course there’s also the ever entertaining “bush television” - the campfire with its flickering flames and stories of the wild.

The rooms

The camp consists of forty large, well appointed, en-suite tents evenly spread out to create a sense of privacy. The decor is beautifully simple with wooden floors, four-poster beds and wrought iron furniture. The tents, conveniently connected to the main areas by either sand or wooden walkways, are raised off the ground to maximise the striking views of the Great Rift Valley plains. On very clear days, it is possible to see Oldonyo Lengai, a mountain revered by the Maasai. The private veranda, complete with directors’ chairs and a coffee table, is the perfect spot to savour this picture.
