Overview

Tucked along the tranquil banks of the Ngarenanyuki River in the Central-Eastern Serengeti, Serengeti Sametu Camp is a refined wilderness retreat that blends understated luxury with the raw beauty of Tanzania’s most iconic landscape. Purposefully removed from the main tourist routes, this intimate camp offers a front-row seat to the Serengeti’s untamed rhythms, where lions roar in the distance and giraffes wander past your tent at dawn.
