Mwanga Moto Mobile Camp: Luxury on the Serengeti
My husband and I are members of Exclusive Resorts, and we participated in their Once-in-a-Lifetime trip to Tanzania in June 2011. The tour was operated by Tanzania by Firelight, and Mwanga Moto was their property in the Serengeti. We spent three nights there and were impressed by its luxury.
We were greeted upon our arrival by the staff, champagne in hand, and given a nice lunch. Our tent was equipped with two king-sized beds, down comforters, lights, writing desk with snacks, hot showers and a flush toilet. This is how I like to camp!
In addition to our private tent, which included a zipped-in porch, there was a dining tent and a game tent for the kids. But the main gathering area (besides the open bar!) was the campfire, also known as “Maasai TV.” Every evening before and after dinner we would sip our beverage of choice (South African cabernet, ice cold Kilimanjaro or Cola Light) and talk about the day with the 19 other folks in the group, plus the guides and staff.
We had game drives each morning and again after lunch, and we saw so many amazing animals. Our professional guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced in tracking and sighting animals, and in repelling the mock charge of an elephant, in fact.
In the evening we dined either in the main dining tent or al fresco on the plains as a Maasai warrior explained the finer points of his culture. Before one dinner we each cooked our own bread over the campfire! The meal was fabulous, ranging from traditional African dishes to continental cuisine, and we sat out long after dark. At one time we could see the shiny eyes of a passing herd of wildebeest. Later the hyenas would sing us to sleep with their whooping cries.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxury safari experience.
This camp offers first class bush luxury in a great location - the middle of the Serengeti! From large comfortable tents equipped with flush toilets and hot showers to the terrific dining and open bar, all my needs were met here and then some.
