We spent one night there and enjoyed a lot.

Centrally situated, great pool with a wonderful view, superb food.

Kirawira Luxury Tented Camp: Luxury in nowhere land

It's a romantic (luxurious but still natural) place to lodge in a quite remote area of Western Serengeti.

Well-equipped tents (actually small houses under a tent), great food and, of course, great views.

Serengeti Sopa Lodge: Luxus and a view in the Serengeti

Serengeti Sopa Lodge:
Located on a small hill in the serengeti, so you have a nice overview over the landscape. With binoculars you can continue your wild-watching in the evening.

Very good restaurant included..

That hill may not be high, but the drive up can be murderous for some vehicles. Ours only managed it after a decent run-up.

On the picture you see the view from the Restaurant. We really liked it.

Seronera Wildlife Lodge: integrated in the landscape

While staying in the Seronera lodge we felt pretty close to nature. Not only the resident lizards and rockhyraxes but also the hippos that came grazing in front of our window at night. All so marvelous creatures. Judging to the dung in the lodges grounds several other animals come and visit the lodge, which is not fenced.

The Seronera Wildlife Lodge is a masterpiece of architecture, built around koppies (round rocks) with the rocks integrated in the buildings. The restaurant and bar have a special atmosphere with the rockwalls and the occasional lizard passing by.

The guestrooms are all located in a ring around the central reception and bar/restaurant. The rooms are spacious and clean and all have a view on the open plains or scrubs where the wildlife roams.

Seronera Wildlife Lodge: Safari Lodge in the middle of the Serengeti

Nice safari lodge located inside the Serengeti National Park in the township of Seronera. Beautiful stone and wood architecture. Spacious bedrooms and very clean bathrooms with bathtubs. Hairdryer hookups available (hotel will provide hairdryer and/or adapter if needed). Breakfast and dinner are buffet style, and lunch can be packed at the hotel before you start your early morning game drive. No balconies because of the proximity to dangerous wildlife. All windows are mosquito netted.

If you are lucky, you can view lots of wildlife from your hotel room window. We saw plenty of impala frolicking at dusk just outside our room. Hotel also screens movies in the lounge area after dinner. We saw a wonderful and informative documentary on the Serengeti Cheetah. The hotel also has tribal dance shows a few times a week. Hot air baloon safaris can be arranged through the hotel desk.

Ndutu Campsite: Camping in the wilderness

You can find a facilitated campsite in Seronera Village, and all over the NP some "special campsites", designated spots in the park without any facilities where you are allowed to camp. For this "privilege" 1 person must pay $40,-/night instead of the $20 on the official campsites.

Camping is a thrilling experience, when you know that hyena's and sometimes lions wander around your tent and you hear the howling and the roaring at night!

We stayed on Ndutu Special Campsite, a beautiful spot close to Lake Ndutu and we were actually the only one staying there.

We decided to stay here because huge numbers of animals were in the area at that very moment, so that we didn't lose time during our gamedrives.
We started the drive at 6AM, a great time to start!
