Is it safe to camp in the Serengeti?

Tented camps in the Serengeti are unfenced, meaning animals (including lions and hyenas) can walk through the camp and even investigate the tents. We stayed at Golden Safari Camp, which we’d highly recommend. The camp is mobile and the tents are made of sturdy canvas.

Where is Tukaone Serengeti Weavers Camp located?

The camp is set in Central Serengeti within the Hembe Hills area, close to the Seronera wildlife hub. This location is strategic because it places guests right in one of the most active game-viewing regions in the entire Serengeti ecosystem, with easy access to the Seronera River Valley and surrounding plains.

How far is the camp from Seronera Airstrip?

Tukaone Serengeti Weavers Camp is about 40 to 60 minutes’ drive from Seronera Airstrip, depending on road conditions and wildlife sightings along the route. Transfers are typically combined with a game drive, so guests often begin spotting wildlife immediately after landing.

What type of accommodation is offered?

The camp offers 15 spacious safari tents, all en-suite and elevated on wooden platforms for better views and comfort. Guests can choose between twin, double, or triple setups. Each tent includes a private verandah, comfortable beds, mosquito nets, bedside lighting, shelving, and a private bathroom with a hot solar-heated shower.

Does the camp have electricity and Wi-Fi?

Yes, but it is important to understand how it works. The camp runs on solar power with electricity available during specific hours, which is common for eco-camps in the Serengeti. Wi-Fi is available in the main lounge and dining area only, not inside the tents, encouraging guests to disconnect and enjoy the wilderness experience.

What meals are provided at the camp?

Guests are served freshly prepared meals in the central dining tent. The menu includes a mix of local Tanzanian dishes and international cuisine, prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Dietary requirements can usually be accommodated with advance notice.

Is wildlife visible around the camp?

Yes, wildlife activity around the camp is frequent due to its location in Central Serengeti. Guests may see zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, antelopes, and a wide variety of birds near the tents. Predators such as lions and leopards are also present in the wider area, especially during game drives.

Is it safe to stay at the camp?

The camp is located in a natural wilderness area with free-roaming wildlife, so safety rules must be followed strictly. Guests should never walk alone at night and should always be escorted by staff after dark. The camp team is trained to manage wildlife encounters and ensure guest safety at all times.

What is the price range per night?

Rates generally start from around USD 240 per person per night on a full-board basis, depending on the season, occupancy, and room configuration. Additional park fees and statutory camping fees for Central Serengeti also apply and should be considered when budgeting your safari.

Great Tanzanian vacation
We toured with Tanzania Safari Experience for an eight day trip to Tanzania. Five days of safari and then three days of beach vacation in Zanzibar. They were great to work with and customized everything exactly the way we wanted it. The lodges we were booked in were all incredible, particularly the Lahia Tented Lodge in the Serengeti. Our driver, Jay, seemed to know every road in every national park and as a result the wildlife viewing was unparalleled. There were times where we were the only vehicle seeing lions or hippos. The owner, Laurent, was extremely responsive and any issues we had in-country with our logistics were immediately sorted by him. He genuinely wanted us to have a first-rate experience. The only thing we were unprepared for is that some of the days in the safari vehicle were very long (10+ hours) and the roads can be really rough. But there were plenty of cold drinks in the car and it was worth it to see the wildlife. The safari/beach split was a great way to do the vacation and the beaches of Zanzibar were beautiful with clear blue water.

Safari May 2026
This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience
We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.
