Mbuzi Mawe is the latest edition of the Serena chain of Hotels and Lodges. The camp is set amongst granite outcrops on top of a hill within the epicentre of the Serengeti in the Seronera area; the centre of the park, which houses the majority of research staff and the park's main headquarters and also has the primary airstrip. Set on granite plinths are 16, enormous tents, each large enough to encorporate 2 four poster queen size beds and ample room to sit an relax in an armchair after a game drive. However, grand in size the tents maybe, the camp is fairly low key and simple in comparison to its sister camps in the Serengeti and although the staff are friendly and helpful and standards are a little lower, including the food, however it is the only permanent camp in the area.

The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason.

We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
