Matawi Serengeti Camp – Where the Plains Whisper and the Wild Feels Close
In the vast embrace of the Serengeti, where golden grasses stretch to the horizon and acacia trees cast long morning shadows, Matawi Serengeti Camp offers a quiet kind of wonder. Set in a secluded corner of one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, this is a camp where the wild moves at its own pace—and you’re invited to move with it.
Here, the rhythm of nature is your compass, and every moment unfolds with intention.
Tented Elegance, Serengeti Soul
At Matawi, your tent is more than shelter—it’s a doorway into the landscape:
Spacious canvas tents with hardwood floors and panoramic views
Real beds, fine linens, and handcrafted touches that honor Tanzanian artistry
En-suite bathrooms with eco-friendly bucket showers and modern comforts
Private decks for sunrise stillness and dusk silhouettes
Solar-powered and sustainably designed to honor the land it rests on
This isn’t about escaping into comfort—it’s about finding comfort in the wild.
The Serengeti, Undisturbed and Unforgettable
Matawi’s location offers a quieter, more personal window into the world’s most legendary ecosystem:
Daily game drives led by experienced local guides who know every trail and track
Seasonal access to the Great Migration—wildebeest, zebras, and the drama of predators close behind
Wildlife encounters right from camp—hyenas at dusk, giraffes on the horizon
Open savanna, rocky kopjes, and skies so wide they seem to breathe
Optional bush breakfasts and sundowner stops that turn game drives into memory-making moments
This is not safari as a spectacle—it’s safari as presence.
Meals that Nourish, Moments that Stay
At Matawi Serengeti Camp, food is part of the story—rooted in place, served with care:
Full-board meals prepared fresh each day using local, seasonal ingredients
A blend of Swahili-inspired flavors and comforting international favorites
Dining under canvas or open skies, with the Serengeti stretched before you
Thoughtful attention to dietary needs and preferences
Campfire evenings with good conversation and the low chorus of the night
Here, meals are not rushed—they’re shared, savored, and shaped by the day’s journey.
People Who Make the Wild Feel Like Home
What makes Matawi truly unforgettable isn’t just where you sleep—it’s who welcomes you there:
A small, passionate team offering warm, genuine hospitality
Guides who share not only sightings, but stories and insights that deepen your connection
Hosts who adapt the experience to your pace—no schedule too rigid, no question too small
A culture of respect for the land, wildlife, and local communities
A spirit of ease and belonging that carries through every detail
At Matawi, you arrive as a traveler—but you leave as part of something larger.

Matawi Serengeti Camp – Quiet Wonder, Wide Open Wild
This is where the silence of the plains is filled with meaning. Where each sunrise feels like the first, and each sunset reminds you just how far away the rest of the world really is. Come not just to see the Serengeti—but to feel its vastness, its truth, its grace.
Expansive. Grounded. Serengeti True.

Would like to use them again.
KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
Delia G2024-01-30A very nice and enjoyable trip! A very good and knowledgeable guide! Enjoyed it a lot!!! The weather also helped :). The route is less difficult than expected. Definitely worth it for a day trip.

Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo.
