SAFARI CAMPS & LODGES

Intimate Camp Zebra is named after the Zebra which follow the Wildebeest during their world-famous annual migration. Like the animal it is named after, the camp follows the Wildebeest to the Northern part of the Serengeti National Park between July and November and to the Southern part of the Serengeti eco-system from December until March. The camp is closed from April until the end of June each year.

Intimate Camp Zebra has been operating in the Serengeti for the best part of two decades. As a result, the company has fostered very close working relationships with the parks authorities and this in turn has resulted in the camp always being allocated the very best seasonal campsites available, both in Kogatende in the north as well as in Ndutu in the south.

Serengeti Kati Kati is a mobile camp strategically situated in central Serengeti, ideal for exploring the extensive Serengeti plains. The camp offers comfortable accommodation together with the unique opportunity to enjoy a real safari experience on a camp. In its comfortable tents one will feel completely immersed in the surroundings and one can enjoy the rich animal life and vegetation of the area.

An original form of accommodation which resembles the old camps of the first explorers in Africa, with all the commodities of today.

Olmara is the Maasai epithet for the cheetah, the great dotted cat, one of the most emblematic inhabitants of the area. Home to the big cats, this expanse of the Serengeti is a remote and wildlife-filled pocket with endless grassy plains and woodlands and is amongst the best places in Africa to photograph big cats. I highly recommend this camp!

The camp is in the scenic Kimarishe woodland, surrounded by Acacia trees, just 24 km away from Seronera centre.

A safe location to set up a permanent tent and experience the authentic essence of African outdoor living. The tents overlook the stunning landscape where animals gather at the watering hole and bask in the sun. Some will cool themselves in mud while others will search for food. Animals enjoy being in areas where they have a good view, as it reduces stress by allowing them to assess the proximity and actions of potential threats.

The spacious tents are decorated with animal-themed artwork created by local artists. Opening in December 2024, the camp welcomes all guests with it’s 100% female empowered staff. Well worth a look and in a great location.

Located in the Central Serengeti – Tanzania – (within the Moru Kopjes area), Serengeti Pioneer Camp is ideally situated to offer superlative access to the annual migration and the ‘Big 5’ with sweeping views overlooking Moru Kopjes, Lake Magadi and the endless plains.

A dining tent hosts the Camp’s guests for both breakfast and dinner, whilst luncheons are taken either in the Camp or in the bush during what will no doubt be yet another enthralling day in the Serengeti.

Serengeti Pioneer Camp captures the original essence of the mobile African safari, engendering nostalgic wonderment whilst unlocking the adventurous spirit within all of us. The drama and beauty of the Serengeti National Park is indeed awe inspiring.

Serengeti Plains Camps is located in the Eastern Serengeti, an area known for its big cats and the region’s largest cheetah population. The Great Migration passes through the region on its annual journey to the nutrient-rich grasslands of the southern plains. This part of the Serengeti is a wildlife photographer’s paradise and is much less crowded than other parts of the legendary national park. The open grassland plains of the south-eastern Serengeti were once reserved for research purposes, particularly for big cats, but in the last decade, it has opened up for tourism.

Between the middle of December and the end of March, the camp is located in the Ndutu area in Southern Serengeti Ecosystem where our guests are able to witness firsthand the birthing season when literally hundreds of thousands of baby wildebeest are born.

Ndutu has retained its cherished status as a gem of the Serengeti plains since it was created by George Dove in 1968 as the first permanent camp in the area. George gave up hunting and transformed the lodge into his regular campsite prizing its wild and remote location in the midst of game and surrounding the Serengeti plains and in 1967 Ndutu was born.

Ndutu quickly established a reputation for warm hospitality and delightful food, fast becoming a favourite stopover for pioneering naturalists, distinguished zoologists and photographers such as celebrated primatologist Jane Goodall and renowned wildlife filmmaker Hugo van Lawick who researched, filmed and wrote about wild dogs in the area.

In 2017 a new team took on Ndutu with the goal of ensuring the lodge could grow on its existing reputation whilst continuing to playing a major role in the local community and conservation of the precious wildlife and landscape. A fantastic location and well worth a visit!

Located in a private conservancy bordering the national park, game drives, walks, sundowners and bush meals take place both inside the national park and in the conservancy, where guests enjoy exclusivity.

Tortilis Camp was one of the first eco-lodges of its size, and is very proudly 100% solar. Guests can rest assure they are leaving a minimal footprint during their stay.

One of Eastern Africa’s most fascinating nature reserves featuring a huge and varied animal kingdom is located in the South West of Kenya. Approx. 1.600 km2 in size, the reserve lies in the Lake Victoria basin, a mere one hour flight from Nairobi.

Surrounded by hills, the rivers Mara and Talek pass through the vast bush- and grassland, meandering in apparently never-ending windings through the untouched landscape. Dense riparian forests line the rivers’ banks and and bestow upon the otherwise tree-scarce region the charm of a fertile scenic river landscape. Inselbergs of massive rock as well as a multitude of small trenches, so-called Korongos, also contribute to shaping large parts of the Maasai Mara. Here, both fauna and flora flourish due to diversified natural resources, hence creating a unique ecosystem.

Experience sensational wildlife in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve at Rekero Camp. Nestled among the trees and overlooking the Talek River, nine classic and spacious safari tents await you. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom and hot-water shower. Enjoy morning coffee on your veranda accompanied by the dawn chorus, or a good book and yourfavourite drink while watching wildlife on the plains across the river.

The camp is perfectly positioned in the heart of the Mara, overlooking the Talek River from where spectacular river crossings can be seen from the comfort of the camp, whilst offering easy access to the surrounding plains. Between July and October, nearly 1.5 million wildebeest migrate across the Mara and Talek Rivers, braving the lurking crocodiles as they search for premium grazing. A Talek crossing point is 150 meters (490 feet) from Rekero’s dining area and the Mara River is a short drive away. The Masai Mara boasts excellent game viewing year-round, offering a stunning concentration of resident wildlife. The territory holds many predators who are resident to the reserve such as lion, leopard, hyena and serval.
