Grumeti camp
Grumeti is a fabulous Conservation Corporation Camp with all aspects crafted in wood, stone, canvas and steel. The vast double tents were specially designed to create a light and airy atmosphere, and are each completed with wooden floorboards, dinky wooden bathrooms and wide, hand built beds. Each is set in private surroundings in the bush, and yet just a short walk along pathways lit with fire torches to the dining room.

Kleins
Kleins is situated high on the Kuka Hills in a private concession just beyond the boundaries of the Serengeti, commanding superb views back over it and the plains extending up to Kenya. The further joy of its situation means that Kleins is not beholden to the rules of the park, and thus the maximum of 16 guests at the camp can enjoy night drives and safaris in open-sided vehicles, and also walk in surrounding bush. A standing tradition encourages all guests to climb the small hill behind the camp each evening, and enjoy immaculately prepared sun-downers from the top, although the views from the central dining and bar area are equally impressive

 

 

Serena Hotels
This is a fantastically designed hotel, all constructed in an East African inspired design from local rock and wood. Makonde carvers have shaped and polished and carved seemingly every door handle and rail, and rooms are wonderfully shaped into unusual but superbly comfortable thatched pixie houses that are shaped like mushrooms. These feel very private, with just three extremely.

 

serengeti-sopa-lodgeSopa Lodge
This is an older hotel, dating from the late ’70s, with all rooms designed to enjoy excellent views. Rooms extend in a double-storey spread to either side of the central communal areas. These are decorated in an intriguingly charismatic style, with an impressive rocky water feature at the centre of the reception area, and at least one extraordinarily tall wooden giraffe to greet guests in the dining room spacious and comfortable rooms in each, and most have good, uninterrupted views across the surrounding Serengeti Plains.

Kirawira Camp
Kirawira is an extraordinarily fine permanent tented camp, elegantly furnished throughout with Victorian antiques (or reproductions!), including studded leather folding wardrobes and polished brass taps and trimmings. The lavishly tented dining area is laid out across dark polished teak floorboards, all covered with rich woven rugs and surrounded by fine writing desks and 1920s safari memorabilia, and its hilltop position gives fabulous views across mile upon mile of the Serengeti bush all around.

This charismatic permanent tented camp is set in absolute isolation among wide flat rocks and spreading acacia, above a northern branch of the Grumeti River, and footprints in the mud in front of the tents indicate the nightly grass-mowing activities of local hippopotami. This old wooden-stilted camp has recently been taken over and upgraded by the Halcyon Hotel Group, who have refurbished the accommodation with chunky wooden furniture and wrought iron fittings, and built an elegant outdoor spa bath surrounded by wooden decking.

The Lake Manyara Hotels/Lodges

Lake Manyara Tree Camp
Conservation Corporation tented camp with tents appropriately vast and impressively decorated to suit the Cons. Corp. style. The camp is intended to allude to the Arabian influences in East Africa, with banana palm thatched huts, artisan beds and fine decoration throughout.

The only owner-run safari camp and the most atmospheric, with permanent tented rooms built onto a stilted wooden base all designed to give each a private bush enclosure with its own undisturbed view. The open-sided dining room and naturally sanded wood and rock-enclosed bar also make the most of the location, and food and service are excellent. Meals rely heavily on fresh fruit and produce, and vegetables and herbs from their own organic garden, and are greatly enhanced by a selection of fine wines from the bar
Serena
The Lake Manyara Serena is constructed to an intriguing design with barely a straight line to be seen, so that the whole rather resembles a rambling trogladite village all centred around a wonderful drop-off pool and bar. The views from this central point are clear and far-reaching, and a large fixed telescope to play with, almost rivals Ngorongoro for the sundowner safari experience. Rooms are individual and provide all amenities expected of the Serena standards, including immaculate decoration and reliably delicious restaurant repast.
