Serengeti Safari Camp
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Prices From: $600 - $700pp
Though the Serengeti Park boundaries officially define the Serengeti, the ecosystem goes way beyond these limits; it is called the Greater Serengeti. It is a giant picture of wild Tanzania- masses of animals, contrasting land forms and tribal peoples. This camp roams around the lot in true nomadic fashion. This camp is semi-nomadic (it won't move while you're there) but its actually on a wide orbit shadowing the migration so you, your Tanzanian driver-guide and private 4WD vehicle are as close to as much wildlife and game as possible.
While you head off from dawn till dusk on your own adventures, the small wandering camp is sociable because it's shared with guests staying in classic bush style. Each luxury bed-tent sits alone on a beautiful patch of Africa, a stroll away from the candlelit canvas mess for safari bonhomie. The bathrooms are en-suite, with traditional safari-style bucket showers, short-drop toilets, and hot and cold water available on demand. The camp is well equipped, but light and simple. All you have to do is arrive in camp at the end of every dramatic day - tired, wired and dusty - to hot showers, ice-filled gin & tonics and a roaring campfire. The days end with dinner, stars and a bed tent furnished with all a great adventurer could wish for.
Serengeti Safari Camp travels through the Serengeti National Park where the densities of animals and predators are high. The camp will have been positioned before arrival in likely proximity to the predicted path of the migration. Each couple or group of guests has total flexibility to plan daily activities according to their own interests. A safari that spans both Serengeti Safari Camp and Nduara Loliondo (see separate details) will assure you of the ultimate experience.
