Marriott International is opening the first Autograph Collection safari camp in Tanzania’s Serengeti

Mapito Safari Camp, Serengeti, Autograph Collection, lies directly along the Great Migration route where herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope pass through between May and July each year.

The area is known for abundant year-round wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and giraffes.

The camp will offer 16 tented suites, including a two-bedroom villa. Each suite will feature an outdoor deck, fire pit and retractable roof for open-air stargazing.

Plans for the camp include a spa, fitness centre, swimming pool and multiple dining options such as The Boma – a communal restaurant inspired by traditional bonfire gatherings.

Guests will be offered daytime game drives, night safaris, walking safaris, hot air balloon flights, bush dining and engagement with the local Ikoma tribe.

The property is expected to debut in the third quarter of 2025.

“Mapito Safari Camp will mark a defining moment for Autograph Collection as we introduce the brand’s first safari experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking wildlife destinations," says Jerome Briet, chief development officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International.
