Mkomazi Wilderness Retreat

Mkomazi Wilderness Retreat is located on a hilltop with the most wonderful views of Mkomazi National Park’s only permanent waterhole.

The tent camp consists of seven luxury tents, all of which are located on their own platform with a balcony, from which you have the most beautiful view of the Dindira plain below you. The tents are large and spacious and extremely well furnished. They have a private bathroom – which is, however, best suited for couples travelling together – and really comfortable beds.

In the morning, you are served freshly made coffee on the balcony, so you can take your time to enjoy the sunrise before heading to the restaurant, where a rich breakfast is served.

Food and beverages are given pride of place here. Everything is local and organic, in as far as at all possible. There is generally great focus on sustainability in the camp. All materials are from Tanzania, and the camp is 100% solar cell driven.

There is Wi-Fi in the communal area – but, to the best of our conviction, you will not need it. Sit down at the camp’s vantage point, order a cup of coffee (excellent!) or a drink (also excellent!) and take advantage of the opportunity to borrow binoculars – and then see what you can spot below you.

There are not many camps where you think: “I could sit here all day – without moving”.

But that is what Mkomazi Wilderness Retreat is like.

If you still feel like doing something, the camp offers a number of different activities – other than normal game drive – that you do not normally associate with a national park: walking safari, bush dinner, night game drive etc. It can all be organised in the camp.
