About Elwai Camp

Elwai Camp gives you access to abundant wildlife while providing a great place to relax.
Elwai Camp is an excellent choice for your safari stop in the Central Serengeti area in Tanzania. The camp caters to all types of clienteles but specialize in photographers & photography groups. As a year-round camp, it is in the prime location for the Migration and calving of the millions of wildebeest and zebra that come each year to give birth to a new generation. The calving season is an epic event! The camp is about 25KM from the Seronera airstrip near Banangi Mountain and the Orangi River. The central Serengeti supports a greater diversity of resident wildlife than anywhere else in the Serengeti including elephant, giraffe, impala, waterbuck, hippo, topi, reedbuck, buffalo and baboon. This resident prey attracts the highest concentrations of large predators in Africa - lion, hyena, leopard and cheetah and a multitude of smaller predators like mongoose, jackal, serval and bat-eared fox.
