The ten spacious suites flow seamlessly, each with open layouts that blend indoor and outdoor spaces. Traditional canvas walls are enhanced by copper details, and every room opens up to nature. The expansive bathrooms feature oversized bathtubs and private outdoor showers, perfect for reconnecting with the wilderness. For a relaxing experience, take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool, which overlooks three serene springs, providing the perfect setting to watch wildlife in their natural habitat.
Exciting Adventures Await at Mwiba Lodge

Mwiba Lodge offers experiences for every age, making it the perfect destination for families or solo travelers alike. Join the Hadzabe hunters on an authentic walk through the wilderness, where you’ll gather materials to craft your own bows and arrows.

Or, venture to a traditional Datoga village to immerse yourself in their culture, dance with the locals, and share experiences with a community that has lived in harmony with nature for generations. If you’re feeling adventurous, scale the lodge’s surrounding rocks for panoramic views that stretch for miles.
Cultural Expeditions: Connect with Traditional Tribes

These communities, who have lived alongside the Serengeti for centuries, often contribute to the lodge’s staff. Visiting these tribes offers an authentic and humbling perspective on their way of life.
You’ll meet the Hadza, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in Tanzania, who live with minimal possessions and a deep connection to nature. The Sukuma tribe, one of Tanzania’s largest ethnic groups, will welcome you to meet their medicine man and learn about their ancient healing traditions. Discover the nomadic lifestyle of the Datoga people, famed for their herding and rich music. Finally, immerse yourself in the culture of the Maasai, known for their long-preserved traditions and stunning ceremonial dress.
