The unforgettable "Sundowner"
Sipping a "sundowner"’ cocktail as the sun sinks below the horizon is central to the safari experience; and a scene that the staff of Mbuzi Mawe delight in setting. Drinks and canapés can be enjoyed on the rocky terraces of the camp’s own kopjes, out in the wilderness, or around the massive fire-pit where guests may foregather for pre-dinner chat and post-safari tales. The camp also offers evocative al fresco breakfasts, safari luncheons, lantern-lit bush suppers, campfire roasts, and cultural dancing displays by the Ikoma people, the original guardians of the Serengeti plains.

At the heartbeat of the Serengeti
Unlike any other camp, Mbuzi Mawe lies at the epicenter of the Serengeti and within easy reach of the prime wildlife theatres of Lobo, the Western Corridor of the Grumeti River, the southern grass plains, the Seronera Valley and the kopjes, or inselbergs, of Barafu, Gol, Maasai, Loliondo, Simba and Moru.

In the arena of the wild
Time in camp seems fleeting when there’s so much to experience. Diversions include game drives, ranger-led bush walks, bird-watching and sightings of such Serengeti residents as elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, hyena, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, warthog, hippo, crocodile and a bewildering array of antelopes and accompanying plains game. As for the birdlife, the Serengeti offers one of the most spellbinding ornithological experiences in the world.

Domain of the Klipspringer, Haunt of the lion
Named after the tiny Klipspringer antelopes (Mbuzi Mawe in Kiswahili) that still prance atop its rocky battlements at dawn, this glade was once the hunting ground of lions that lounged in the shelter of its tumbled boulders to ambush their prey. And when night falls, the camp still echoes to the menace of their far distant calls.
