Just beyond the edge of Lake Manyara National Park, tucked beneath a canopy of whispering acacia trees, lies Migunga Tented Camp—a quiet forest hideaway where the safari comes softly, and nature speaks in rustling leaves, birdsong, and the hush between footsteps.
This is not the roar of the wild. It is its pulse—gentle, steady, and profoundly grounding.
A Forest Retreat, Rooted in Simplicity
Migunga doesn’t impose—it belongs. Shaded and serene, the camp is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and live in rhythm with the land:
Sixteen cozy, private tents cradled in the forest, dappled in sunlight and shadow
Thoughtful interiors with comfortable beds, writing desks, and en-suite bathrooms
Wide verandas for coffee at dawn or a book in the afternoon breeze
A welcoming central lounge and dining space where stories unfold over shared meals
The scent of earth after rain, the quiet rustle of monkeys in the trees, the sense of sanctuary
This is comfort without pretense—a stay that feels both grounding and quietly magical.
A Safari That Starts Where You Are
Migunga’s gift is its perfect position—just moments from the gate of Lake Manyara National Park, yet hidden away in its own private world:
Game drives that reveal tree-climbing lions, vast baboon troops, and glimmering flamingo flocks
Exceptional birding—over 400 species from forest dwellers to lakeshore visitors
Gentle bike rides through Mto wa Mbu village and banana groves
Guided forest walks that bring you close to the little things: a footprint, a flower, a call in the canopy
The flexibility to explore deeply—or simply stay still and let the forest come to you
This is safari as it once was—intimate, instinctive, and deeply alive.
Flavors of the Land, Served with Heart
At Migunga, food is an extension of the forest’s welcome—fresh, nourishing, and made with care:
Seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms and markets
East African flavors blended with global comfort—warm, satisfying, unpretentious
Breakfasts as birds wake the trees, lunches in the dappled light, dinners by lantern glow
Menus shaped around your preferences, with care for every dietary need
A sense of eating not just to sustain—but to celebrate the moment
Meals here are quiet joy. Shared, savored, remembered.
People Who Welcome You Like Family
Migunga’s soul is its people—local, grounded, and genuinely warm:
Staff who know your name and notice what matters
Guides who grew up nearby and speak the forest’s language
Hosts who create a space of ease, curiosity, and calm
A team rooted in the land and committed to its future through community and conservation
You may arrive as a visitor. You’ll leave with a sense of place—and kinship.
Why Choose Migunga Tented Camp?
✔ Peaceful forest setting minutes from Lake Manyara National Park
✔ Comfortable, eco-conscious tents with thoughtful details
✔ Exceptional birdwatching and access to diverse safari activities
✔ Cultural depth, cycling, and nature walks in nearby Mto wa Mbu
✔ A calm, restorative base for travelers seeking connection over commotion
Where the Forest Waits and the Journey Deepens
At Migunga Tented Camp, nature doesn’t perform—it simply welcomes. The days are slow, the light is golden, and the silence is full of life. It’s a place to pause, listen, and feel the deeper layers of your safari begin to unfold.
Quiet. Present. Full of Heart.
Welcome to Migunga Tented Camp—your forest refuge at the edge of the wild.

KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
