Find Safari Tentalow in Simiyu from $185

"Remote glamping. Feels like a miracle that this camp in the middle of the Serengeti has hot water, electricity, Internet, and white tablecloth dining. Staff are friendly and helpful. This is not for the faint hearted or light sleeper. There are delightful animal noises at night. Baboons come into the camp at dusk. You need an escort to the dining tent after dark (easily arranged by telephone). I had a buffalo outside my tent one night. I never felt unsafe though. I would strongly recommend to book via a tour guide. It's tough to figure out how to get there otherwise. "

"Asanja Moru has been around for 9 years is a lovely property. I really like the location in the western part of the Serengeti, it is green and lush and beautifully serene. The camp is charming and the staff are all incredibly good at what they do. There are 2 full time chefs and they prepare the most delicious meals, as good or better than what you could find in an upscale NYC restaurant. The fresh food is delivered on a regular basis and they take pride not only in the preparation, but also the presentation. I stayed for 5 nights and if you’re lucky, they will move the cooking operation outdoors for meals in the bush. It is such a great experience to dine outdoors in the wilderness. On my morning leaving the camp, we must have passed a heard of 50 elephants nearby marching toward our site. It was breathtaking. The manager of the camp, Bariki, is a consummate professional - he is very creative and very good at his job. I booked a safari driver directly through Asanja - his name is Sharif - he has vast experience and an encyclopedic mind regarding everything related to the park, especially all of the animals, including the exotic birds. While travelers can book with independent safari drive services, I would strongly recommend Sharif - he is usually in high demand and needs to be booked well in advance. I can’t imagine a driver more qualified and knowledgeable than Sharif - he really delivered and made each day on the Serengeti unforgettable. I highly recommend this property."

"Authentic design, clean. Nice pool, rooms, dining, stuff very pleasant helpful. They sing for ourout welcoming"

"Just an outstanding experience. The people were incredible, great service. My family of 4 loved the family tent. The grounds had Lions (3) hanging out right at entrance and wildlife overall was amazing around Ndutu, right there by camp. Highest recommendation. "

"Overall, Melia Serengeti was a delightful lodge and our stay was nearly perfect. Sadly they were doing controlled fires in the surrounding area meaning that there was heavy smell of smoke and burning which affected air quality significantly. If it weren’t for this the place would be perfect. "
