'Intimate Camp Seronera' is an all-new camp which received its first guests as recently as July 2022 making it one of the latest additions to the collection of luxury camps to be found in the Serengeti National Park. It is located five kilometres (three miles) from Seronera Airstrip making it an ideal destination for guests flying into central Serengeti. GPS coordinates are -2.41598, 34.88811.
The camp is also only one hour’s drive from ‘Naabi Hill,’ the gateway to the Serengeti National Park for guests arriving by road from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Seronera River, the famous Hippo pool, the Serengeti Research Centre and the departure point for balloon Safaris are also all conveniently close by.
‘Intimate Camp Seronera’ consists of 12 accommodation tents, each of which can be used for single, double (or twin) or triple occupancy. Each sleeping tent consists of a veranda, bedroom area, dressing area with ensuite shower and toilet. As an added convenience, each tent is supplied with electricity for lighting as well as for charging mobile telephones, cameras, tablets, laptop computers or any other electronic devices guests may carry with them. This electricity is harvested from the sun’s rays via a solar system.
All accommodation tents, including 2 two-bedroomed family tents, are generously sized and are built on raised wooden platforms. They also provide guests with hot and cold running water night and day. As with the electrical supply and in keeping with our commitment to preserve the environments in which we operate, water is also heated by the sun’s rays via yet another solar system.
The main part of the camp is well laid out to include a lounge tent as well as a dining tent, both of which are also built on wooden platforms. The lounge tent is furnished with comfortable settees and armchairs and is complete with a selection of Coffee table books, board games, a writing bureau and wireless internet connectivity so as to ensure that all guests needs are well catered for when they are not out enjoying game drives. The dining tent allows for individual as well as group dining and is home to a well- stocked bar which serves a selection of premium spirits, wines, beers and minerals, the cost of which is included in the accommodation rates. Guests may also enjoy their meals al-fresco in the camp’s grounds. Evenings are spent around the all-important campfire enjoying drinks and bitings whilst exchanging stories about the day’s exciting events and making plans for the day ahead.
The main emphasis of the activities available at Intimate Camp Seronera’ is the extraordinary wildlife to be found in the Seronera area. This wildlife includes Lions, Leopard, Cheetah, Buffalo and Elephants to name just a few. The perennial waters of the Sero River are a huge draw for this wildlife year around and the camp is conveniently located to take advantage of the amazing spectacle they provide. Indeed, the camp often receives visits from some of these exciting animals!
Twice a year, usually in May and November, the extraordinary Wildebeest migration passes through camp on its way North and then South again. As everyone knows, this migration is one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of Africa" as well as the single largest mass movement of animals on the planet.
With two decades experience operating camps in the different national parks making up the Northern Safari circuit, Intimate places has developed very strict policies and procedures with regards to the protection of the fragile environments in which we operate. All of these can also be found in practice at Intimate Camp Seronera.
