About the property
Staying at Seronera Camp.
Seronera Camp is an independent property that Absolute Holiday Safaris books for its guests; we do not own or operate it. Our budget Tanzania and Kenya & Tanzania safaris use it for every Serengeti night, from the 4-day migration safari to the 14-day circuit.
Accommodation is classic safari camping: dome tents with camp chairs set out on the grass, and shared camp buildings. It is simple, but being inside the Serengeti means early and late game drives without a long transfer.
The central Serengeti is a good base in every season. Its kopjes and river valleys hold resident predators all year, and the migration herds pass through on their way between the south and the north.
