On top of the world in the southern Serengeti
We’ve been on a journey into the southern Serengeti, going up and around the many kopjes that are scattered throughout the area. We fell in love, again, with the expanse of views, of being ‘on top of the world’ with the feeling that we could see for miles in all directions, and with that the sense of being quite alone. These southern plains are more remote, less travelled, except by the many animals, birds and reptiles that live here year-round and it's here that we've set up our new base camp.

FAQs
How long are the drives between camps?
It depends, some are short hops, others can be full-day journeys. Often, the journey is the experience and can become the ultimate game drive as you traverse different areas of National Parks.
How far in advance should I book my safari?
For peak seasons, between 9 and 12 months ahead is wise. This can vary depending on the places and camp you'd like to visit with some filling up earlier. The best camps and guides are worth planning for.
Is Tanzania a good honeymoon destination?
Absolutely. Wild, remote and deeply romantic. We believe a safari honeymoon strikes the perfect balance of adventure and calm. No two days are ever the same and what better way to kick off married life.
Is it safe to drink tap water in Tanzania?
We advise against drinking the tap water in Tanzania and as such, we provide safe drinking water in all camps and vehicles so guests can remain well hydrated throughout their trip.
Do tented camps have proper beds and bathrooms?
Our permanent bush camps and Serengeti Safari Camp have comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms. Bathroom facilities vary between camps, while our Charlie expeditionary camps have a simpler setup with cot beds provided. Each camp page explains what you can expect.
Is English spoken in Tanzania?
Yes, English in widely spoken in Tanzania, especially in camps and by safari guides. Swahili is the main language and knowing a few words and phrases will always earn you a smile.
Can children go on safari?
A safari with your family is a magical way to spend quality time with your children, immersed in the wilderness and surrounded by wildlife. Time on safari with your family allows all to disconnect from your busy daily lives. Tailor your family safari with a private guide and vehicle plus make sure you look at family specific properties such as Mkombe's House. When inside the national parks, most camps have age restrictions with 8+ being a general guide.
Much depends on the age of your children, if on the young side then we'd advise not trying to cram too much in to your days but plan your safari in bitesize chunks bringing new excitement around every corner.
What is the typical food when on safari?
Fresh, locally sourced, and surprisingly varied given the remote locations of some camps. Imagine homemade bread, seasonal veg, cooking with delicious Swahili spices. All accompanied by far-stretching views or enjoyed under a shady tree.
