After a day of game drives, relax by the swimming pool or in your en-suite room, which offers modest furnishings, mosquito nets, and private verandas with views across the Karatu highlands.

Your safari continues at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp, an upper mid-range camp strategically located in the Central Serengeti. This camp provides a comfortable and intimate setting, perfect for couples and small groups seeking to experience the thrill of year-round predator action.
