1. Kananga Special Tented Camp

1.5 km from Central Serengeti

"1. The local Africans that work here are great - they were amazing guys that made my brief stay here tolerable. Thank you guys - you know I appreciated all you did. 2. Location - You're literally in the middle of the wild plains of the Serengeti - One night, several hyenas slept just outside my tent - little nerve racking, but that's the wild for you. 3. Service - The VIP tent was good but the food and service was outstanding considering where you are!! Here are the problems: 1. Kananga is a...

"Amazing don't actually capture how wonderfully this place is. My room was very spacious and clean. It had all the amenities you will find on a luxurious hotel in a big city. The lodge is perched on a hillside overlooking a huge and gorgeous valley. I can lounge on my patio seats all day looking at the valley. Breakfast needs a bit of improvement, but lunch and dinner offerings were quite delicious. Those guys will feed you to death if you let them. I definitely recommends this wonderfully...

"Remote glamping. Feels like a miracle that this camp in the middle of the Serengeti has hot water, electricity, Internet, and white tablecloth dining. Staff are friendly and helpful. This is not for the faint hearted or light sleeper. There are delightful animal noises at night. Baboons come into the camp at dusk. You need an escort to the dining tent after dark (easily arranged by telephone). I had a buffalo outside my tent one night. I never felt unsafe though. I would strongly recommend to...

"Mussa and his team are fabulous. I went with my two sons in July 2026. The location of Pumba Luxury Camp is amazing. You feel the thrill of sleeping in the middle of the bush, surrounded by tall grass and wondering what animals could be hiding there. But the staff is constantly patrolling the area. No need to worry. They always escort you from your tent the lobby and dining area, and back again. Very attentive people. And kind. They taught Swahili words to my sons :) great human capital in Pumba...

"The Malakai is essentially brand new, beautifully designed, tastefully decorated and kept in impeccable condition by the staff. I cannot say enough good things about the people that work there – led by Alex at the front desk and his team, they were very polite, overly attentive to all my needs and they provided superior service. Simply stated, there was nothing they could have done to make me more comfortable. In the evenings around dark, they secured my tent, and in the mornings, they opened...

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable Serengeti experience with an exceptional team Our stay at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. The setting is breathtaking — being in the middle of the Serengeti and watching elephants and other wildlife visit the waterhole right from the lodge is something we will never forget. As beautiful as the property is, the people are what made our experience truly special. A special mention to Glory at the front desk, who was incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel genuinely cared for and at home. Our heartfelt appreciation to Chef Venu, who made our dining experience extraordinary. As vegetarians, food while traveling can sometimes be a challenge, but Chef Venu went above and beyond for us. The meals he prepared were fantastic, and on several occasions they genuinely reminded us of food from home. After days of traveling, that feeling of sitting down to a wonderful meal that brought back memories of home was incredibly special. Thank you, Chef Venu, for taking such personal care of our family. And a huge thank you to our safari guide, Sam. His patience, knowledge and enthusiasm made our game drives unforgettable. We were traveling with our 6-year-old, and Sam was wonderful with our family throughout. Most importantly, he helped give us an absolutely incredible Great Migration experience — something we had dreamed of"

Serengeti Luxury Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Danny is the perfect host. He took care of everything and did so much to make our stay special. With Bush side breakfast and dinner with a campfire along with a perfect sundowner, he and the staff ensured our stay was extra special. And of course, Denis our safari game driver made sure we saw everything that one hopes to see in the Serengeti… leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, impalas… even a serval cat, along with a huge pride of lions full of cubs. Incredibly special place and more than worth it."
