For those of you staying for the first time with us

  • As part of your safari experience you will see animals from the comfort of your tent. Animals, for the most part, are afraid of humans and stay a safe distance away.

    During the day, guests are free to walk around designated paths within the camp. Guests should remain aware of their surroundings and look for any signs of animals close to them.

    During the night, members of our staff accommodate all guests to their tents. Additionally, each tent is provided a radio should a guest need anything during the night.

    Below are a few tips should you see an animal in the camp during your stay:

    • The most important thing is to remain calm and avoid sudden movements as it can startle the animal or provoke a defensive reaction. 

    • Avoid making direct eye contact with the animal, as some animals may interpret this as a challenge. 

    • Keep a safe distance of at least 30–50 feet and do not attempt to approach the animal, even if it seems calm or uninterested in you. Quietly move away to a safe area, such as your tent or a designated camp path and notify a member of the staff.

    • If the animal is less than 30 feet away from you, stand still or slowly back away, ensuring not to turn your back on the animal, as this might trigger a chase response. Please contact a staff member immediately once you are safe. 

    • If you are in your tent and you see an animal outside that you feel may be a threat to you, please remain in your tent and contact a staff member via the radio.

  • Our foundation is built on the hospitality and professionalism of our staff. Each team member undergoes a rigorous 10-day training program before starting, followed by continuous coaching and feedback. To uphold high service standards, we’ve established clear safety protocols, a code of conduct, and detailed operational procedures. Camp Managers and Directors conduct regular audits—monthly, quarterly, and annually—to ensure compliance and identify opportunities for improvement.

  • We accept all major debit and credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. We also accept TZS, USD, or Euros.

  • Currently Wi-Fi is available in the mess and lounge area but not in the tents. We are planning on expanding our Wi-Fi coverage in May of 2025

  • Each tent has its own private toilet, shower, and sink. Hot water is provided by hot water heaters located just outside the tent. When turning on the hot water, please allow it to run for a few minutes as it takes time for the hot water to move from the hot water heater to our faucet.

  • We provide drinking water in your room during your stay. The water from the sink and shower is safe to wash in, but NOT safe to drink. Should you need additional water, we provide it free of charge.

  • Only licensed drivers are allowed to drive within the Serengeti. Guests, who are on a longer Safari, will usually fly into Kilimanjaro Airport and visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro prior to arrival to our campsite in the Serengeti on the third of fourth day of their Safari.

    Guests can also fly to the Serengeti into the Seronera Airstrip which is located ~45 minutes from our camp. We provide transportation services to and from the airport.

    Should you need help with any transportation services we are happy to help. Please email us at reservations@conservesafari.com.

  • Yes, we accept guests of all ages including children.

  • The Serengeti’s relatively temperate conditions arise primarily from its elevation on the East African plateau. Although near the equator, much of the park lies between roughly 900 to 1,800 meters above sea level, which helps moderate temperatures year-round. The combination of altitude, seasonal rainfall patterns, and savannah environment leads to warm days and cool nights, avoiding the consistently high heat and humidity found in lower-lying tropical regions.

    Days are generally warm, with average highs between 25–30°C (77–86°F).

    Nights can be cool, especially during the dry season, sometimes dropping below 15°C (59°F) in higher elevations.

  • For a safari in the Serengeti, it’s essential to wear comfortable and practical clothing suited for the region’s warm days and cool mornings and evenings. Lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton or moisture-wicking materials are ideal. Stick to neutral colors like khaki, beige, olive, or brown to blend into the environment and avoid attracting insects. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants provide protection from the sun, mosquitoes, and bush scratches, while a warm jacket or fleece is necessary for early morning and evening game drives, as temperatures can be quite chilly. A lightweight rain jacket is also recommended if traveling during the rainy season (March-May, October-December). For sun protection, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are essential.

    When it comes to footwear, comfortable hiking or safari boots are best for walking safaris, while closed-toe shoes or sneakers work well for game drives. For relaxing at the lodge or camp, sandals are a good option. Accessories such as sunscreen, insect repellent (preferably DEET-based), a light scarf or buff for dust protection, binoculars for wildlife viewing, and a small daypack for carrying essentials will enhance your experience.

    It’s best to avoid bright colors and white clothing, as they can scare animals or attract insects, and dark blue or black, which may draw tsetse flies. Additionally, camouflage prints should be avoided, as they are illegal for civilians in some African countries, including Tanzania. By dressing in light, breathable, and neutral-colored clothing, layering for temperature changes, and bringing sun and dust protection, you’ll be well-prepared for a comfortable and enjoyable Serengeti safari.

  • Our camp is open year round.
