Introduction

Serengeti Pioneer Camp is themed after the original safari camps of the 1930s, a nostalgic era that excites and interests a few.

Located in the central region of the Serengeti within an area called the Moru Kopjes, an area where one get to views the great migration but also the "Big 5". Built on the slopes of a kopje the camp offers guests wonderful views out over the surrounding National Park teeming with wildlife and birdlife. The views are up there with the best that the Serengeti and Masai Mara can offer.

The camp is ultra-stylish in an old fashioned style and attention to detail is excellent all the way from the main guest areas to the private suites. An exceptional camp by any stretch of the imagination perfect for small families and couples alike.

Rooms and Suites

Serengeti Pioneer Camp offers travellers 12 tented suites (including 1 family suite) that have been positioned far enough apart to ensure good levels of privacy. A covered viewing deck leads into the main bedroom with either a king-size or two queen size beds, and to the back of the suite is the en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet, show and basin.

The suites (and the camp) are decorated and furnished in a 1930's style with a neutral colour scheme blended with dark wooden furniture.
