Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp is a stylish, luxury tented retreat nestled among the dramatic granite kopjes of central Serengeti National Park. This prime location places the camp right along the route of the Great Wildebeest Migration, offering guests an unmatched chance to witness this natural wonder firsthand. The surrounding terrain is rugged and beautiful, creating a dramatic backdrop for safari adventures and peaceful retreats alike.
The camp blends traditional safari charm with modern amenities, providing 16 stone based canvas tents that offer both elegance and comfort. Each tent is thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and views, while still allowing wildlife to roam freely nearby. Guests can relax on their private veranda, soak in the landscape, and listen to the sounds of the wild, a truly immersive Serengeti experience.
Designed with sustainability and cultural respect in mind, Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp also emphasizes eco-friendly practices and a connection to local communities. Whether it’s enjoying a sundowner near a roaring fire, dining under the stars, or embarking on early morning game drives, the camp offers unforgettable moments that blend adventure and serenity.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp is during the dry season from June to October. Wildlife viewing is exceptional during these months as animals congregate around water sources, and the Great Migration typically moves through central Serengeti. However, even in the green season (November to May), the area remains rich in wildlife and scenic beauty, with fewer tourists and lush landscapes.
How to Get There
By Air
The most convenient way to reach Mbuzi Mawe is by flying into either Seronera or Lobo airstrips. Both are serviced by scheduled flights from Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar. From the airstrip, it’s a short scenic drive to the camp with game viewing opportunities en route.
By Road
For those seeking a more immersive journey, the camp can also be reached by road from Arusha or other parts of northern Tanzania. The drive takes several hours and includes entry into Serengeti National Park, making it a safari experience in itself.
