A very comfortable and reasonably priced tented camp in Seronera, in the heart of the Serengeti National Park. Hidden in an enclave, surrounded by spectacular views and abundant wildlife, our special tented camp sits at the foot of the Banagi hills, overlooking a beautiful savannah dotted with the emblematic East African Thorn tree. Each tent, comprising twin beds dressed in the finest traditional Indian cotton, warm duvet and Masai blanket, is furnished with carpets, bedside tables and luggage racks. An en suite toilet & open air shower and your very own veranda are standard for each tent, in addition to ambient LED reading lights provided by the camp’s solar energy facility. Watching the Zebras crossing Banagi Plain at sunset while sipping a cold glass of South African wine, enjoying a delicious three course dinner to the sounds of the African night or sitting back in our comfortable sofas after an exciting day’s safari, are now even more enjoyable in our new, spacious Mess tents. For guests without their own transport we can provide full board packages. Our talented chef and our professional and enthusiastic camp staff will be glad to attend to any special needs.
Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, the Serengeti is well-known for its annual Great Migration. Serengeti offers the most incredible game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.
