Friends Serengeti Tented Camp is a mid-range camp in the Central Serengeti, positioned to give affordable access to Seronera’s predator-rich valleys. It’s targeted at small groups, adventurous couples, and budget-conscious travelers who want simple comforts inside the park. Its emphasis is more on value and game-viewing location than lodge-style luxury.

Pricing: typically $310–$340 per double in high season; around $180–$200 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Osinon Serengeti (mid-range; similar scale) and Serengeti Classic View Camp (mid-range; budget, rustic). Step up: Kon Tiki Serengeti (upper mid-range; more polished). Step down: Tanzania Bush Camps (mid-range; more seasonal and basic).

Safari context: Central Serengeti ensures sightings year-round—this camp allows guests to maximize early morning and late afternoon drives.
