Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp
Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp is a stunning gateway to the annual great migration and the Big 5, offering luxury accommodation and phenomenal game viewing. From camp you can drink in captivating views of Lake Magadi and the Moru Kopjes while relaxing under canvas to the sounds of the African wilds. Pioneer Camp aims to be green and leave little footprint on the land all the while bringing you as close to nature as possible.
Possessing a distinct colonial air, the camp is reminiscent of the mobile camps of the 1930s: transporting guests back in time to the safaris of yesteryear. There are only 12 tents on offer at this exclusive camp. In the evening, having spent the day exploring, watch the sunset sitting out the front of your tent and enjoy fine dining under star-filled skies. The dining tent is usually where the camp's delicious meals are served but for a slightly more adventurous culinary affair lunch in the bush is a must-do experience.
Special offer: Stay 6 nights and receive a 10% discount, stay 9 nights and receive a 15% discount, stay 12 nights and receive a 20% discount. Any combination of Elewana Collection, excluding Arusha Coffee Lodge. These offers are valid 04 January 2025 - 3 January 2026. Terms and conditions apply.

Holiday to Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp
Excellent service, but not the luxury we were looking for. We had to tie our tent zippers with shoelaces so monkeys didn’t get in our tents at night. We were expecting something similar to our stay at Hemingway.

From the prompt pick up at the airport to the game drive en route to the camp, and then the arrival at the camp. I wasn’t sure which way to look first, I didn’t want to miss anything. The arrival at the camp with cool towels (every time we came back) and all of the staff knowing us by name, made us…

I have no words for this place, simply because words can't even describe being there. The people were just perfect and they were always up for a conversation and we were always laughing. Hearing the animals at night was great and the scenery was simply breathtaking. I could spend my whole life ther…
