Serengeti Savannah Camp is a mobile tented camp, which offers all the comforts of a private safari, without the prohibitive cost.  Serengeti Savannah Camp likes to say that it is like the lion prides, it blends into bush, its form follows function and it is always to be found close to the migration of the wildebeest. Each fully equipped safari camp is designed for traditional safari comfort while offering excellent service food and hospitality. The camp has been specifically designed to retain all the romance and adventure of a classic Edwardian safari camp, without any of the inconveniences, and without harming the environment.  Luxury, walk-in tents co-exist alongside freezers and gas cookers while the camp is illuminated by a charming yet practical combination of romantic hurricane lamps, solar power and a generator. Serengeti Savannah Camp also prides itself on ‘Great service and great food’; typically serving camp-baked fresh bread and intuitively designed safari menus with traditional Tanzanian warmth of welcome.

What to see and do

The annual wildebeest migration in the Serengeti:
The migration of the wildebeest is perhaps one of Tanzania’s most famous natural events. Twice a year, propelled by the rains, 1.3 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle gather to undertake an 800 km migration trek to new grazing lands.

Typical safari experiences at Serengeti Savannah Camp include: safari game drives in especially adapted 4WD safari vehicles (with professionally trained Tanzania safari guides), safari bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners; cocktails around the camp safari campfire and guided safari walks through the bush. Serengeti Savannah Camp also offers ornithological tours, cultural performances and visits to the local Maasai people of Tanzania.
In the Serengeti, a particular highlight is a hot air balloon ride, which typically ascends from its launch site at dawn and travels for around an hour across the plains before descending in a controlled landing to a cooked safari breakfast in the bush.

Additional Information

Game drives can be arranged on request, and walking safaris or community visits can be arranged, depending on camp location.
