Overview
In the heart of Tanzania’s Central Serengeti, Serengeti Sametu beckons as a sanctuary of luxury amidst the untamed wilderness. Perched along the serene banks of the Ngarenanyuki River, this intimate camp offers sweeping views of golden plains and rocky kopjes, where the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration unfolds twice yearly. Nearby, the legendary Sametu and Barafu Kopjes teem with resident wildlife—lions lounging on sun-warmed rocks, leopards stalking through acacia shadows, and elephants ambling to the river’s edge. Here, the Serengeti’s raw beauty is both your backdrop and your muse, inviting you to connect deeply with one of Earth’s last great ecosystems.
Serengeti Sametu blends rustic elegance with modern comfort, its canvas-walled suites designed to immerse you in the wild while cocooning you in opulence. The camp’s atmosphere is one of tranquil exclusivity, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end by a crackling campfire under a star-strewn sky. Embark on thrilling game drives to spot the Big Five, savor bush breakfasts amidst the savannah, or soar above the plains on a hot-air balloon safari for a bird’s-eye view of the migration. For a more intimate encounter, guided walking safaris reveal the Serengeti’s smaller wonders—tracks, plants, and hidden creatures. Accessible via a 60-minute flight from Arusha to Seronera Airstrip followed by a short drive, or a scenic 7-hour road journey, Serengeti Sametu is your gateway to an unforgettable safari adventure.
