Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp

Welcome to Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp
Where Timeless Safari Tradition Meets the Soul of the Serengeti

Tucked within a striking landscape of ancient granite kopjes and golden savannah, Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp offers an authentic and intimate escape at the very heart of the Serengeti. Ideally positioned along the route of the Great Migration and surrounded by some of the park’s most iconic wildlife habitats, this elegant tented camp provides a front-row seat to nature’s grandest theatre—without sacrificing comfort or style.

At Mbuzi Mawe, your days begin with the songs of birds and the rustle of antelope in the brush, and end beneath starlit skies beside a crackling campfire. It’s a place where the safari spirit runs deep, and every detail—from warm Maasai hospitality to the thoughtful, eco-conscious design—reflects a true connection to the land.

Classic Safari Charm, Elevated

Blending traditional safari aesthetics with the refined touch of Serena Hotels, the camp features 16 luxury tents set beneath thatched canopies and positioned for privacy and views. Each tent is a sanctuary of serenity:

Spacious canvas interiors with fine wood furnishings and locally woven accents
En-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, showers, and eco-friendly amenities
Private verandas with safari chairs, perfect for morning coffee or sundowner relaxation
Soft lighting and mosquito-net-draped beds for peaceful nights in the wild

The result? A stay that feels adventurous and romantic, grounded in authenticity yet refined in every way.
