Siringit Serengeti Camp is a small luxury tented camp in the central Serengeti, about 6 km east of Seronera airstrip and about an hour's drive from Naabi Hill Gate. It is part of the Siringit Collection, a small group of privately owned camps in northern Tanzania and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Siringit says the site still appears on some park maps as "Yellow Stone", after Tanzania National Parks used it to host visiting officials from Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The Seronera hippo pool, the Serengeti research centre and the take-off point for balloon flights are all close by.

We can book Siringit Serengeti Camp on its own, or as part of a private safari with your own vehicle and guide, the park fees and the rest of the route arranged in one quote.

What it's like

There are ten tented suites, each about 45 m² with a private veranda facing north-west over the Serengeti plains, so the sunset is in front of the tent. The tents stand on low wooden platforms and have a sitting area, wooden floors and an en-suite bathroom with double basins and a flush toilet. Two of the tents connect to make a two-bedroom family tent.

The camp sits under a canopy of acacia trees, and the lounge and dining tents look out over the same plains. There is a plunge pool, a small gym and a safari shop. Siringit says its menus were created for the collection by a Michelin-starred chef, and the camp can set up picnics and private dinners out on the plains.

Balloon flights over the Serengeti leave from close by, and the camp can arrange a private rhino-viewing trip to the Moru Kopjes, spa treatments in your tent and yoga. On our safaris your game drives are with your own private guide and vehicle. Siringit says the camp was named Africa's Leading Luxury Tented Safari Camp at the 2026 World Travel Awards, its fourth year in a row.

Getting there

Naabi Hill Gate to the campAbout 1 hour, more with game viewing
Karatu to central Serengeti4 to 5 hours of driving, plus time at the gates
Seronera airstrip to the campAbout 15 minutes (the camp's own estimate)
Central Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater3 to 4 hours
Central Serengeti to Kogatende in the north4 to 5 hours on the road, 7 to 8 hours as a game drive

Times are best estimates. Most of the route is on gravel park roads, and we usually turn the drive in from the gate into a game drive.

Park fees

The camp is inside Serengeti National Park, so park entry fees and a nightly park fee for staying inside the park apply. The camp's rates do not include these, and we show them as separate lines in your quote. Current figures are on our park fees page. See Tanzania park fees.

Who it suits

A good fit for

  • Two or three nights in the central Serengeti, close to Seronera
  • Couples who want a small, quiet camp
  • Families, with the two-bedroom family tent
  • Guests who want to add a balloon flight to their safari

Look elsewhere for

  • Travellers who want solid walls, as this is a tented camp
  • Large groups, as there are only ten tents

When to go

The camp is open all year. The central Serengeti has wildlife in every season, which makes it a good base at any time. April and May are the long rains and the quietest months, and July, August and the December holidays are the busiest.
