Overview
In the heart of Tanzania’s Central Serengeti, Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Seronera by Wellworth offers an intimate escape where the pulse of the wild meets refined comfort. Set on the slopes of Makoma Hills, the camp overlooks the sweeping Makoma Plains, renowned for their resident cheetahs and the majestic Thatch Kopjes, home to the iconic Makoma Prides of lions. This prime location ensures year-round wildlife spectacles, with herds of wildebeest and zebra grazing nearby and predators prowling the grasslands, especially during the Great Migration’s passage through April and May.
The camp’s design blends classic safari charm with modern luxury, its nine canvas tents crafted to frame 180-degree views of the plains. The atmosphere is one of secluded tranquility, where mornings begin with the glow of sunrise over the savanna and evenings end with stories shared around a crackling bonfire. Guests can embark on thrilling game drives to spot the Big Five, savor bush breakfasts amidst nature’s chorus, or join guided walking safaris to feel the Serengeti’s rhythm up close. For a breathtaking perspective, hot-air balloon rides drift over the plains at dawn, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Accessible via a 14 km drive from Seronera Airstrip or a scenic 318 km journey from Arusha, Ole Serai is a gateway to adventure and serenity.
