Serengeti Kati Kati Camp

Location: Serengeti Kati Kati Camp is positioned in the central Seronera region of the Serengeti, right in the heart of one of Tanzania's most wildlife-rich areas. It's a fantastic base for exploring year-round, with high concentrations of resident game and regular sightings of big cats. During the Great Migration (typically April to June and again in October to November), herds often pass close to camp, making it an excellent option for travellers looking to be in the thick of the action. The location feels wonderfully remote, with the surrounding savannah stretching out in all directions, yet it's still accessible via nearby Seronera airstrip.

Rooms: There are ten walk-in canvas tents at Kati Kati, each with a simply but comfortable setup. Inside, you'll find twin or double beds with proper mattresses and linen, solar lighting, and en-suite bathrooms with safari-style bucket showers and eco-flush loos. It's very much a classic bush camp - rustic and authentic, without frills - but everything is clean, functional, and well looked after. Each tent has a small covered verandah out front, perfect for relaxing with a view across the plains. It well suite to adventurous travellers who want to stay close to nature without compromising on the basics.

Amenities: The camp's central mess tent is where meals are served and guests gather for drinks or downtime between drives. There is also a separate lounge tent and a firepit area where you can enjoy a sundowner and a chat under the stars. Meals are hearty and home-cooked, with a mix of local flavours and international staples, all freshly prepared in camp. Electricity is solar-powered and available for charging devices at set time, though there is no Wi-Fi - which many guests appreciate as a chance to properly switch off. The team at Kati Kati are known for their warm hospitality and efficient, friendly service.

Activities: Game drives are the main activity here, and Kati Kati's location makes it easy to explore a range of habitats within central Serengeti. The Seronera area is known for its predator density - lions, leopard, and cheetahs are regularly seen - as well as elephants, giraffes and plentiful plains game. Drives are typically arranged with your guide (either a private guide if travelling overland or arranged locally through the camp), and flexible itineraries mean you can choose between shorter outings or full-day drives with picnic lunches. Balloon safaris can also be arranged nearby for those wanting a bird's-eye view of the plains.

Sustainability: Kati Kati Camp is operated by Tanganyika Wilderness Camp, who follow a light-footprint model designed to minimise environmental impact. The camp is semi-permanent and runs largely on solar power, with bucket showers helping to reduce water consumption. Waste is sorted and removed from the park, and plastic use is kept to a minimum. The team is predominantly Tanzanian, with a strong emphasis on training, local sourcing, and supporting nearby communities. While the sustainability model here is relatively simple, it's clearly guided by respect for the environment and long-term commitment to operating responsibly within the Serengeti.
