Lemala Mpingo Ridge sits atop an escarpment with sweeping views across the perennial Tarangire River and its valley below a position that combines sensational game-viewing with cooling breezes and a sense of elevated remove from the plains. The lodge is part of the Lemala collection and upholds the same standards of comfort and guiding excellence that characterise all properties in the group.
Tarangire is Tanzania’s underrated classic: scenic savannah, ancient baobab trees, and some of the country’s densest elephant concentrations. Mpingo Ridge amplifies this experience by placing guests on the ridgeline, with the valley’s dramatic scale unfolding below them. Night game drives a rarity at many Tarangire properties are a highlight of any stay here.
Fifteen spacious suites are positioned to maximise both valley views and cooling breezes, each with twin or king beds, a private deck, and a sunken outdoor lounge that doubles as a siesta daybed.
The closest airstrip is Kuro (Tarangire), served by scheduled flights from Arusha via Coastal Aviation and Auric Air approximately 30 minutes. Arusha Airport (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) are the main gateways for international arrivals. Lemala can arrange transfers from any arrival point.
