Central Serengeti – Tanzania Bush Camps

Yes. Tanzania Bush Camps Central Serengeti is a very good option for travelers who want to stay inside Serengeti National Park while enjoying the atmosphere of a real safari camp. With only 12 tents, the property feels intimate and peaceful rather than like a large safari lodge.

Its location is one of its strongest advantages. You are surrounded by wildlife country, and animals can sometimes be seen directly from the camp, including elephants, antelopes and occasionally predators moving through the surrounding area. Wildlife sightings from camp are never guaranteed, but this is part of what makes staying inside the Serengeti so special.

Wildlife sightings from camp are never guaranteed, but this is part of what makes staying inside the Serengeti so special.

Tanzania Bush Camps is very close to Seronera Airstrip, with the transfer generally taking around 30 minutes depending on road and wildlife conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for fly in safaris because very little of your safari time is lost transferring between the airstrip and camp.

For travelers flying from Arusha, Zanzibar or another safari destination, this location is especially convenient. You can land in Central Serengeti, meet your private safari guide and begin game viewing almost immediately before continuing to the camp.

Yes, wildlife can sometimes be seen directly from the camp because you are staying inside Serengeti National Park rather than in a fenced city style hotel. Animals naturally move through the surrounding wilderness, so guests may see antelopes, zebras, giraffes, elephants and other wildlife without even leaving the camp.

Predators can also occasionally pass through or be seen around the wider camp area. Lions, hyenas and other predators live naturally throughout Central Serengeti, although sightings from the camp itself can never be guaranteed. Guests should always follow instructions from camp staff, particularly after dark.

Yes. Central Serengeti is one of the strongest areas in Tanzania for predator viewing. The Seronera ecosystem supports large numbers of resident animals throughout the year, which means lions, leopards and cheetahs can often be searched for during morning and afternoon game drives.

This is one reason we like this camp. You do not have to depend completely on the Great Migration being nearby to have a good safari. Central Serengeti has excellent resident wildlife, making the camp suitable throughout much of the year.

The camp has only 12 safari tents, helping maintain a quiet and personal atmosphere. Tents can be arranged with double or single beds depending on the guests’ requirements, and each has its own private ensuite bathroom.

Inside you will find the comforts needed after a full day on safari, including a hot shower, flush toilet, mosquito protection and seating space. You still feel like you are sleeping in the African bush, but without having to sacrifice the important comforts of a proper safari camp.

Yes. The camp provides solar powered electricity, allowing guests to have lighting and charge essential devices such as phones and cameras. This is particularly useful for guests who take a lot of photographs during their safari.

WiFi is also available. However, guests should remember that the camp is located deep inside Serengeti National Park, so internet speed and reliability may sometimes be different from what you would expect at a hotel in Arusha or another major town.

Yes. The tents have private ensuite bathroom facilities, including a flush toilet and hot shower. You do not need to leave your tent during the night to use a shared bathroom.

This makes the camp a comfortable option for travelers who like the idea of staying in a tented safari camp but do not want basic camping. You get the bush experience while still having privacy and essential comforts.

Meals are served at the camp, and guests going on full day game drives can have packed lunches prepared so they do not have to return to camp during the middle of the day. This allows you to spend more time exploring the Serengeti and following wildlife.

Bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners can also be arranged in advance. Special dietary requirements can normally be accommodated when communicated before arrival, so we recommend informing us about allergies or dietary preferences when confirming your safari.

Yes. For a first Serengeti safari, location matters much more than many travelers realize. Staying in Central Serengeti gives you access to one of the park’s strongest year round wildlife areas rather than forcing you to travel long distances every morning before your game drive really begins.

The camp also works particularly well for travelers flying into Serengeti because of its proximity to Seronera Airstrip. You can combine an authentic tented camp experience with convenient access to wildlife, which is a strong combination for a first safari.

Tanzania Bush Camps Central Serengeti is a tented safari camp rather than a conventional hotel or large permanent lodge. The accommodation uses proper furnished safari tents designed to give guests a closer connection with the Serengeti wilderness.

However, this does not mean basic camping. You have a proper bed, private bathroom, hot shower, electricity and other comforts while still being able to hear the sounds of the Serengeti around your tent at night.

The biggest advantage is the location. You are staying inside Central Serengeti close to Seronera, one of the park’s most reliable wildlife areas, which gives you excellent access to game drives and particularly strong opportunities for finding big cats.

The second major advantage is convenience. The camp is very close to Seronera Airstrip, so fly in guests can spend more of their limited time actually experiencing the Serengeti instead of sitting through long road transfers.
