Each region of the Serengeti offers unique accommodations that not only cater to your comfort but also enhance your experience of one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles. From luxury lodges to intimate camps, your stay in the Serengeti is designed to be an integral part of your safari adventure.
The heart of the Serengeti, Central Serengeti, is where the magic of the plains truly comes alive, and the accommodations here reflect the pulse of this vibrant ecosystem. At the epicenter of the Serengeti, you’ll find Four Seasons Safari Lodge, perched on the edge of a savannah panorama, offering unparalleled luxury with its sweeping views of the plains where wildlife roams freely. This lodge epitomizes elegance with its contemporary African design, providing guests with private infinity pools, outdoor showers, and a direct view onto an animal watering hole from your room’s balcony. The lodge’s location in the Seronera region ensures year-round game viewing, making it a perfect base for exploring the Serengeti’s central wonders, from the iconic migration to the daily life of the Big Five.
For those seeking a more intimate connection with nature, Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge offers a blend of comfort and tradition.

The lodge’s central location allows for quick access to both the northern and southern migration routes, ensuring you’re never far from the action.
Moving to the Northern Serengeti, where the Great Migration’s river crossings occur, accommodations like Sayari Camp offer luxury in the wild. Overlooking the Mara River, Sayari provides an intimate and exclusive experience with its spacious tents adorned with elegant furnishings and private decks for observing the wildlife spectacle. The camp’s location in the Lamai Wedge is ideal for those seeking to witness the dramatic river crossings, with game drives tailored to follow the migration’s movements. The attention to detail, from gourmet dining to personalized service, ensures that your stay here is as memorable as the wildlife you come to see.

The tents here are simple but well-appointed, offering a genuine safari experience without sacrificing comfort. The camp’s mobility means you’re always positioned for the best wildlife viewing, particularly during the July to October migration season.
The Western Corridor of the Serengeti, with its lush riverine vegetation, is home to Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge. This lodge combines luxury with an eco-conscious approach, offering villas that provide privacy, comfort, and stunning views of the Grumeti River. Here, guests can enjoy the spectacle of the migration crossing the river, along with exclusive activities like guided nature walks and night game drives, thanks to its location in a private concession.
For an even more exclusive experience, Singita Sabora Tented Camp in the private Grumeti Reserves offers a luxurious tented safari where the emphasis is on conservation and understated elegance. The camp’s design reflects the heritage of the area, with tents that are both spacious and beautifully appointed, ensuring a harmonious blend with the environment. This location is ideal for those looking to witness the migration’s western movements or to explore the quieter, yet equally magnificent, parts of the Serengeti.
The Southern Serengeti, known for the calving season of the wildebeest, hosts accommodations like Kusini Camp. Nestled in the Ndutu area, this camp offers a peaceful retreat with its permanent tented accommodations that blend luxury with the surrounding plains. Kusini provides an intimate safari experience, with tents equipped with all the comforts of home, including private verandas for watching the birth of thousands of wildebeest. The camp’s location is perfect for those visiting between December and March, when the southern plains become a nursery for the migration’s new generation.
Ndutu Safari Lodge is another gem in the south, offering a historical touch with its traditional stone and thatch construction. It’s a place where the past meets the present, with rooms that overlook Lake Ndutu and the vast plains. This lodge is ideal for those who wish to experience both the migration’s calving season and the rich birdlife of the area, providing a base from which to explore the Serengeti’s southern beauty.
