Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp, perched on a rocky outcrop in southern-central Serengeti, offers sweeping views across the endless Serengeti plains. Close to the renowned Moru Kopjes, the site was originally chosen by acclaimed researcher and filmmaker Alan Root. Designed to have minimal impact on the environment, this camp brings the charm of a 1930s mobile safari while offering all the luxuries of a modern camp.

The camp features 12 elegantly furnished tents with Campaign-style safari decor and en suite bathrooms equipped with solar-heated showers. Each tent has a dedicated room attendant, ensuring guests’ comfort and convenience. Nestled in the natural bush, the tented suites provide an authentic back-to-nature experience. The camp’s bar and lounge offer spectacular views, making it an ideal spot for unforgettable sundowners.
