  • Embalakai Authentic Camp

Embalakai Authentic Camp is located in the Banagi area of Central Serengeti, making it a convenient base for game drives in one of the parkโ€™s most wildlife-rich regions. Guests stay close to nature, surrounded by open plains, acacia trees, birdlife, and the sounds of the African wilderness.

The camp offers 13 spacious tents for single travellers, couples, families, and small groups. Each tent includes comfortable beds, mosquito nets, a private hot shower, mineral water, solar-powered electricity, and enough space to relax after a full day on safari.

Meals are freshly prepared and may include homemade bread, cakes, pastries, and balanced dishes that can be adjusted for dietary needs when requested in advance. Guests can also enjoy special experiences such as bush breakfasts, bush dinners, sundowners, Maasai village visits, balloon safaris, and trips to Olduvai Gorge.

Because the camp is located inside a wildlife area, animals may move close to the property, especially at night. Guests should never walk alone after dark and must follow the campโ€™s safety instructions, with staff available to provide escorts between the tents and the main dining area.

Overall, Embalakai Authentic Camp is a good mid-range option for travellers who want to stay close to nature without giving up comfort, good food, warm hospitality, and convenient access to Serengeti game-viewing areas.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything weโ€™d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered โ€” 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 โ€” 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. Marikiโ€™s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else โ€” 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 โ€” we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos โ€” the lot. As a first safari, I couldnโ€™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 didnโ€™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. Heโ€™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 youโ€™re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, Iโ€™d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.

    An absolutely brilliant tour / travel company

    What can I say. How do you explain PERFECTION. I will try. From the outset of our trip Ramadhan and Laurent were excellent. We gave them our requirements and budget and they prepared a program that was outstanding. The whole safari went like clockwork. We were met and briefed by Ramadhan on our arrival and introduced to our driver and guide extraordinar Ngoi. We visited Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar. Absolutely brilliant trip, we saw the most extraordinary game. All the accommodation arranged for us was magnificent, especially the tented camps, where we were visited by a lion and elephant, scary but exhilarating. So if you are looking for an unforgettable experience look no further than Laurent and Ramadhan from Tanzania Safari Experience. They truly put clients first and foremost and deliver on their promises. Cheers from a very satisfied Chris and Terri Harvey
