Serengeti Green Camps

Location: Serengeti Green Camps operate as semi-permanent, low-impact safari camps in two prime locations within the Serengeti ecosystem: one in the central Seronera region and the other in the northern Kogatende area near the Mara River. This dual setup allows the camps to follow the wildlife, especially during the Great Migration, offering front-row access to dramatic river crossings in the north (typically July to October) and fantastic year-round predator action in the central plains. Both locations are carefully chosen for seclusion, with the camps blending into their natural surroundings and avoiding the busier tourist corridors. If you're after a more intimate, close-to-nature experience in Tanzania without sacrificing comfort, this is a great option.

Rooms: Each camp has just a handful of canvas tents - typically around six to eight - keeping things small, personal, and peaceful. T he tents are spacious and simple in style, with large, comfortable beds, solar lighting, en-suite bathrooms with bucket showers, and flush loos. Everything is well made, with quality linens, thoughtful designs, and eco-friendly touches throughout. You won't find marble floors or freestanding tubs, but what you will get is a well-designed, comfortable base that feels part of the landscape rather than imposed on it. This is a safari for people who want to feel immersed in the wild, but still sleep well and wake up to good coffee.

Amenities: Given their mobile, low-impact nature, the camps don't offer pools or permanent structures, but that's part of the charm. Instead, there's a cosy mess tent for dining and relaxing, a small bush bar, and a crackling fire each evening under the stars. Meals are freshly prepared by an on-site chef and often exceed expectations - hearty, healthy, and full of flavour, served either out in the bush or around a communal table. Solar power is used throughout, and while there's no Wi-Fi, guests often find it a welcome chance to truly disconnect. The service is friendly and genuine, with a focus on hospitality that feels personal.

Activities: Game drives are the main activity and are completely tailored to the day's conditions and guests' preferences. Depending on which camp you're in, you could be tracking predators in the Seronera Valley or positioning near the Mara River to witness a migration crossing. Drives are unhurried and immersive, with expert local guides who know the land inside out. The flexibility of the camps means you're not tied to a strict schedule - you can head out early with a picnic breakfast, stay out all day with lunch in the bush, or return for an afternoon siesta before and evening drive. Some walking safaris can also be arranged in partnership with park rangers, depending on the location and season.

Sustainability: Serengeti Green Camps are built on a strong commitment to eco-conscious travel. As fully solar-powered, semi-permanent camps, they leave minimal trace and are carefully dismantles at the end of each season. Water use is conservative, waste is sorted and packed out, and plastic use is kept to a minimum. Most of the staff are hired from nearby communities, with training and career development built into the model. The guiding team is Tanzanian and highly experienced, offering authentic insight with deep local knowledge. For travellers looking for a genuinely sustainable safari that doesn't compromise on experience, these camps strike an impressive balance.
