This camp sits in the heart of central Serengeti, perched between the Rongai and Nyaroboro Hills, just a few meters from the Mbalageti/Seronera River. That river draws animals like a magnet – hippos wallowing in the nearby pool, elephants splashing, buffaloes grazing, and big cats prowling the banks. You’re in one of the park’s prime wildlife zones year-round: lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and buffaloes are regulars, and the Moru Kopjes area is famous for its rocky outcrops where predators love to hang out. The Great Migration often swings close from April to July and November to December, so you can spot those massive herds moving through the plains without long hauls. The camp keeps things intimate with 20 luxury tents, all raised and spaced for privacy, so it never feels busy. Tents are spacious (45 sqm each), tastefully done with African touches – king or twin beds under mosquito nets, comfy sitting areas, tea/coffee stations, and en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, pressurised hot/cold running showers, and modern amenities. Every tent has a covered veranda with 180-degree panoramic views over the acacia-dotted plains and river, so you can wake up to animals drinking or grazing right in front of you. The main area is a big tented setup with a lounge for relaxing, a bar for drinks, and dining inside or out on the deck – meals are fresh and generous, full board with local and international flavours. There’s a campfire for evenings, and the whole place runs on 24-hour power with solar support, keeping it eco-friendly and quiet. Staff are warm and attentive, guiding game drives that chase the migration or resident game. It’s open all year, full board with drinks included, and priced as a luxury option but great value for the central location and comforts.

What Makes Ole Serai Unique

This camp’s riverbank hilltop location near Moru Kopjes offers constant wildlife action – a nearby hippo pool, animals grazing close to the tents, and prime access to the migration corridor without crowds. Luxury tents with private verandas and outdoor showers create an immersive, elegant bush feel. Reviews praise the stunning views, comfy setups, tasty food, and welcoming staff – a serene, high-end base with extras like sundowners and bonfire evenings for a well-rounded, authentic Serengeti stay. Great value for central access with that classic safari charm.
