Serengeti SafarisTanzania· 6 Rooms · £££

Authentic Tanzanian hospitality

A designer, eco-conscious safari camp that will guide you through an immersive safari experience.

Location: Cherero Camp is situated in Musabi Plains, a secluded area west of Central Serengeti. This largely undiscovered gem is accessible from Seronera and Grumeti, offering a slice of heaven in the heart of Tanzania's wilderness. The camp is set within a magnificent landscape rich with diverse wildlife.

Rooms: The camp features 6 spacious suites, each set on elevated decked platforms to offer an exclusive tented camping experience. These intimate guest suites are thoughtfully designed with beautiful amenities and universal power outlets discreetly placed for convenience.

Amenities: Cherero Camp prioritises an authentic safari experience while providing necessary comforts. The camp is powered by solar systems for electricity and water heating, taking advantage of the region's abundant sunlight. While the camp doesn't offer swimming pools or bathtubs to align with the water-conscious ethos of the Serengeti, it ensures guests have all the essential amenities for a wonderful stay.

Activities: Cherero Camp embodies a "slow safari" concept, encouraging guests to fully immerse themselves in the rhythms and wonders of the Serengeti. The camp likely offers game drives, guided walks, and opportunities for wildlife viewing in the rich Musabi Plains area.

Sustainability: Sustainability is at the core of Cherero Camp's ethos. Built upon regenerative principles, the camp consciously avoids water-intensive facilities like swimming pools and bathtubs, acknowledging that "the search for water is the story of the Serengeti." The camp harnesses solar power for energy needs, demonstrating a commitment to eco-friendly practices. By limiting the number of suites and focusing on low-impact luxury, Cherero Camp strives to preserve the natural beauty and resources of the natural surroundings.
