Aurari Camp

Ideally positioned near the Mara River in the remote northern Serengeti, Aurari Camp offers a tranquil alternative to the crowded Kogatende region — perfect as a base for Great Migration safaris or simply a peaceful retreat away from the crowds Designed for those who love the spirit of mobile camping but crave added comfort, the camp features spacious, private tented suites that blend rustic charm with thoughtful luxury. Expect mesmerising views, warm hospitality, thrilling game drives, and unforgettable hot air balloon safaris.

Whilst still retaining the essence of “tented camping,” the 50m² spacious guest suites feature a cosy lounge, oversized bedroom, gorgeous bathroom, and additional decked space outside. Sustainability is woven into every aspect of Aurari Camp’s design. Instead of swimming pools or bathtubs, the camp features water-efficient rain showers, and operations are primarily powered by solar energy, minimising environmental impact without compromising comfort. Enjoy coffee on your deck with panoramic views of the diverse landscape comprising savannah grasslands, acacia forests, seasonal rivers, rolling hills, and granite kopjes. Meals are made to order and thoughtfully prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, offering a true taste of the region.
