A visit by our Shadows of Africa Safari Consultant Inge Olde Rikkert
The saying ‘beautiful things don’t ask for attention’ is true of Mpingo Ridge . It’s just there in itself, understated, turning the spotlight onto its surroundings and guests.
This new Lemala property has been placed with the views as its top priority. High up amongst the ebony of Tarangire it gives perspective to the vastness below and an insight into the significance of nature.
Set back from the main tourist tracks of Tarangire, Mpingo Ridge Tarangire lodge is a little more interesting and a lot more peaceful. Forget the lions, buffalo, elephant, zebra and masses of antelope we had just seen, this was impressive!
The 15 tents are modern in design, spacious and give the privacy desired to absorb the panorama around you, as well as to luxuriate in a bath or shower inside or out, under a canopy of stars. Just what I needed with the rains having started and after a muddy and adventurous game drive!
Aside from the décor and the surroundings Mpingo Ridge Tarangire lodge delivered service and food beyond expectation. The picnic lunch was especially worth a mention.
Thanks, Mpingo Ridge Tarangire lodge, for being so thoughtful and for making me feel beautiful too.
