Makubi SC
“From the moment we arrived, we felt embraced by the Makubi family. It wasn’t just a check‑in, it was a welcome into a home in the wilderness. The camp is intimate, unfenced, and alive with the sounds of nature. At night, we listened to lions calling in the distance and hippos grunting in the lake below. It felt raw, yet safe, and completely unforgettable.”
Setting & Location
“The camp’s location is breathtaking, perched above a lake filled with hippos and birds. Every sunrise painted the sky while the bush came alive around us. We loved that Makubi is serious about conservation and eco‑principles. It felt authentic, mindful, and private, a true sanctuary inside Nyerere National Park.”

Hospitality & Team
“We arrived as guests and left as family. Tende and his team Samuel, Grace, Shedrack cared for us with warmth and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. They celebrated with us, laughed with us, and made us feel at home. The atmosphere was genuine, not staged it was hospitality with heart.”
Dining Experience
“The food was a highlight. Grace prepared meals that rival any fine restaurant, but with the freshness and creativity of the bush. Every dish was thoughtful, and even our children were catered for with joy. Dining under the stars, with lanterns glowing and lions calling nearby, was something we will never forget.”
