Ole Serai Luxury Camp

Staying here felt like being welcomed into a family. The food was absolutely incredible, and as a special touch, they even prepared a cake and sang a send-off song when we left – such a memorable and heartwarming experience! I have to say, this was the coolest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. It was a beautifully structured, sturdy canvas tent that blended comfort with adventure. At night, we could hear lions, hippos, and buffalo while feeling perfectly warm and safe in the most comfortable beds. Honestly, if their breakfast wasn’t so good, I probably would have slept in until noon every day. But this wasn’t just a tent – it was glamping taken to another level. It was a full hotel room, just with canvas walls that brought you closer to nature in the best way possible. The overall experience exceeded all expectations. The food was delicious and had plenty of options, which was a huge plus as a vegetarian. I loved talking with the staff who told me all about the animals they saw wandering the camp the night before (what I thought was a buffalo was actually a hippo!) I couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to return!

Stayed here for 2 nights with absolutely no complaints. Nice sized private tents, good beds, hot water showers, working toilet right in your tent all made for a very comfortable stay. They also have good wifi in your tent. The wonderful staff, friendly bartenders and excellent restaurant made Ole Serai one of my fave camps on our safari. It's absolutely amazing watching the giraffes and elephants roam just feet from your tent porch.

We had a fantastic 4 night stay at the Ole Serai Tented Lodge. It has a great location in the middle of Serengeti- no fences and near a water body which means that all kinds of animals are walking around all night! We heard Lions and Hippos a few nights roaring and grunting - what an amazing experience! I would.classify this as glamping accommodations. Our tents had a bathroom with hot water, comfortable bed and wi-fi! There is a tented lounge area and bar and also a separate tented big dining room. The service staff led by Pascale and Phillipe were very friendly and attentive and kept the drinks and food flowing! We had a few vegetarians in our family and they went out of their way to have extra veggie options. We celebrated New Years with singing, dancing and drinking with the staff!

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Overall, the experience was very good with many surprises. We were originally expecting that the tent hotel in the grassland would have poor conditions, but upon check-in, we found that the conditions were as good as other luxury hotels. The 3-day stay was especially comfortable and enjoyable, and it was the most unforgettable place to stay during our trip. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Accommodation experience: The facilities were fully equipped, and the rooms included a private bathroom and shower room. The curtains could be pulled open to overlook the outdoors, and there was also a restaurant, bars, and outdoor camp fire area within the hotel's garden. The room had excellent measures against insects and animals, as there were no insects in the room when we arrived(which was a rainning day and much insects outside). The night was also protected by a separate cover, which not only protected our privacy but also prevented animals from entering. We were woken up by the sound of birdsong in the morning and animals' calls in the evening (the security guard said maybe lions and hippos), really was a very special experience and made me feel like sleeping in nature, very unforgettable. The surrounding scenery was also very good, and we could sometimes observe animals using telescopes, as well as small animals such as monkeys, rabbits, and squirrels in the park, very cute. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Meals: The lunch provided by the other hotels was a lunch box, but our hotel had hot dishes that were served in heat preservation boxes. We had lamb fried rice, beef, chicken curry, Italian pasta, etc., which were especially delicious. It was unexpected to enjoy these delicious food in the outdoors. The dinner was even better, and each day's menu was different. The soup was especially delicious, and the salads were also very distinctive and local. The only downside was that there were a few desserts that were too sweet. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Safety: There were many security guards patrolling the boundaries of the park, and security guards will accompanied us if we want go outside during nighttime. The tents were of sturdy materials and had zipper locks and opaque curtains, making them safer. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Transportation and travel: The location of our hotel was relatively good, easily accessible in different direction Safairs, and the airport was not far away. However, be careful not to ignore a road with plenty of flies near our hotel, and remember to keep windows closed to prevent them from entering. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Special experience: Our room did not have a phone, so all communication with friends and hotel staff was through radios. This was a very interesting experience as we and our friends could easily communicate via radios in real-time. Additionally, our last night, the staff prepared a farewell bonfire dinner for us, where all staff of the hotel joined in singing and providing farewell cake to us, which was extremely touching.

Wonderful and stunning Lodge with view of elephants! We stayed there in January and enjoyed the very romantic, big and clean tents! The whole Lodge is lovely designed in the middle of the NP,. it also has a fire place and a nice dining room. In daytime you can see zebras and elephants very close to your tent, a unique experience. The stuff is incredibly friendly and helpful, you feel always safe. The food was very nice, we could also choose for African food (chapati, Ugali), which we can really recommend! We did a tour to Serengeti NP, where you can spot cheetah, lions and elephants….just to name a few. All in all: very recommendable lodge!

The energy, charm and beauty, all captured in this magical place. You can even hear wild animals behind the tent, we had an amazing experience with a giraffe coming near by tent in the morning:) Super friendly staff, a big shout out to Stanley, my African “brother” for taking care of us❤️ We have only beautiful memories. Thank you for this experience to all Ore Serai team ! Big hug to all of you! Tomas and Anna
