Serengeti Sametu Camp – Secluded Safari, Pure Wilderness

Tucked along the remote eastern edge of Central Serengeti, Serengeti Sametu Camp offers a front-row seat to Africa’s greatest wildlife theater—with the comfort, privacy, and intimacy of a true bush retreat. Far from the crowds but close to the action, this small luxury tented camp sits at the meeting point of raw nature and refined service.

Here, every sunrise is a symphony of sound, every game drive an unfolding story, and every moment soaked in stillness and soul.


Intimate Tented Suites, Wild Elegance

At Sametu Camp, your tent is more than a place to sleep—it’s your own private corner of the Serengeti:

  • Spacious, en-suite canvas tents with king or twin beds, fine linens, and screened windows

  • Modern bathrooms with hot showers, flush toilets, and solar-powered lighting

  • Private verandas offering sunrise views over the endless plains

  • Thoughtful touches like writing desks, cozy armchairs, and Maasai-style décor

  • Daily housekeeping and turndown service for your comfort

Whether relaxing between game drives or enjoying a quiet evening with nature all around, your tent is both sanctuary and front-row seat.


Prime Location, Exceptional Wildlife Encounters

Serengeti Sametu Camp is strategically located in a game-rich corridor of Central Serengeti:

  • Just minutes from the Sametu Kopjes, Seronera River Valley, and Gol Kopjes

  • Excellent wildlife viewing year-round, with frequent sightings of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants

  • Close to migration routes during seasonal wildebeest movements (April–June, November–December)

  • Game drives led by expert guides who know the terrain and the wildlife by heart

  • Optional hot air balloon safaris available nearby for a bird’s-eye view of the savanna

This is classic Serengeti—unfiltered, uncrowded, and unforgettable.

At Sametu, food is an essential part of the experience—fresh, satisfying, and served with care:

  • Full-board gourmet meals, with a blend of Tanzanian flair and global favorites

  • Daily breakfast buffets, picnic lunches for game drives, and multi-course candlelit dinners

  • Vegetarian, vegan, and special dietary options available with advance notice

  • Dining tent and outdoor meals under the stars, with views of the open plains

  • End your day with sundowners around the fire, sharing stories and stars

Every meal complements the rhythm of the bush—slow, flavorful, and meaningful.

Uforgetable 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!

Words 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 :)

Amazing 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.

Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! 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. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
