In a hidden corner of the wildlife-rich Seronera region, this brand new camp channels the golden age of African exploration with a thoroughly modern conscience. Strategically positioned to offer both prime game viewing and blissful seclusion, the tents are spaced far enough apart that you might fancy yourself the only souls for miles - until a passing elephant reminds you otherwise. This is the Serengeti as it was meant to be experienced: raw, beautiful, and with just the right touch of understated elegance. In a landscape where wildlife thrives year-round, you'll find yourself transported to the legendary early 20th-century safaris, complete with all the comfort but none of the colonial pomp.

The well-spaced tents pay homage to the golden age of safari, with vintage-inspired furnishings that don't skimp on comfort. The bathrooms are particular showstoppers - copper bathtubs beckon for a hot soak while contemplating the day's wildlife sightings, and the manual shower system adds a dash of authentic adventure to your morning routine. The beds are sublime - proving that sleeping under canvas doesn't mean compromising on comfort.
The utterly romantic vintage touches that make you feel like you've stepped into a sepia photograph - think copper bathtubs, classic Land Rovers restored to their former glory, and that indescribable feeling of being under canvas in big game country.
Book a hot air balloon safari to coincide with the Great Migration (March-May or October-December). Watching thousands of wildebeest traverse the plains from above is rather spectacular.
The shower system is charmingly manual - all part of the authentic safari experience, but worth knowing in advance.
