Why we recommend it

Tamu Tamu Serengeti Camp offers an immersive safari stay in Tanzania's renowned Serengeti ecosystem. Designed for travellers who want to experience the wilderness without giving up the comforts of a well-appointed tented camp, it combines spacious accommodation with a relaxed atmosphere and attentive hospitality. The camp features en-suite safari tents with private outdoor verandas, allowing guests to enjoy the surrounding landscape between game drives. Dining facilities serve a selection of local and international dishes, while shared spaces provide a place to relax and reflect on the day's wildlife encounters. Its location, approximately 45 minutes from Seronera Airstrip according to the camp's published information, makes it a useful option for fly-in safaris as well as longer overland journeys through northern Tanzania. The surrounding ecosystem supports an impressive diversity of wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards and large herds of grazing animals. Seasonal movements of the Great Migration can also bring dramatic wildlife encounters to the wider area, although sightings depend on the time of year and herd movements.

Tanzania +1

For guests travelling with Emnel Adventures, Tamu Tamu can form part of a private Serengeti itinerary, paired with destinations such as Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It is particularly worth considering for travellers who want to spend meaningful time in the Serengeti rather than rush through the park on a short safari.

Questions

Tamu Tamu Serengeti Camp: your questions, answered

What does a private Tanzania safari cost?

It depends mainly on the season, the number of days and the lodges you choose. Our private northern-circuit itineraries start from about US$3,100 per person for five days in Classic comfort, and rise with Mid-Luxury and Luxury camps. Park and conservation fees are set by the government and make up a significant share of every safari, and they are included in our prices. Every itinerary page shows a starting price per person, and we quote exactly for your dates.

Is every Emnel safari private?

Yes. You have your own vehicle and your own guide for the whole safari, and the daily pace, start times and stops are set around you, never around a group.

Who will our guide be?

One of Emnel's own guides. The team that plans your safari is the team that runs it. About two weeks before you arrive, we send your trip companion, with your guide's details and everything else you need for the journey.

When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?

Tanzania offers excellent game viewing all year. June to October is the classic dry season, with easy game viewing and the migration in the north. January to March brings the calving season in the southern Serengeti. The long rains of April and May are quieter and greener, and some camps close. We will recommend the best timing and route for what you most want to see.

How does booking work?

Tell us your dates and ideas, and we will design an itinerary and send a detailed proposal. To confirm, we ask for a 30% deposit plus any domestic flights, which are issued on confirmation. You then receive your official confirmation, and about two weeks before you travel, your trip companion with every final detail.

Can we add Zanzibar to our safari?

Yes. A short flight from the Serengeti or Arusha takes you to Zanzibar's beaches. We recommend at least one night in Stone Town alongside your beach stay.
