About
About Ang'ata Serengeti Camp.
Ang'ata Serengeti Camp sits at the Sero 2 site in Seronera, the middle of the Serengeti, on ground that looks out over open plains and shallow valleys. It is a classic canvas camp rather than a lodge: walk in tents with a veranda and safari chairs, a lounge tent where the coffee and tea are always on, a dining tent that can be rolled open to the bush or closed against wind and rain, and a fire a few steps away under an acacia that the staff call Bush TV.
The tents are simple and comfortable. Each has a king bed or twin beds with mosquito nets lowered at turndown, a lockable box for cameras and valuables, an en suite shower mixed to the temperature you like from solar heated tanks, a flush toilet and a vanity. Every tent runs its own solar panel for light, and phones and camera batteries charge in the lounge. Meals come out of a kitchen that sources fresh produce weekly from Arusha, bakes bread in a bush oven every day and prepares food respecting Halal and Maasai traditions, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus on request.
The point of Seronera is reach. From here a single day covers Moru Kopjes and the Maasai Kopjes rock paintings to the south, Retima Hippo Pool, the Grumeti River and the Western Corridor, Lobo to the north or Turner Springs, and the resident lions and leopards of the Seronera valley are close to camp all year. Seronera airstrip is about fifteen minutes away by road. It suits travellers who want to spend long days in the vehicle and come back to a warm, unfussy camp; it is not the place for anyone with a child under five, as the camp only takes children from five to fifteen alongside adults.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Where exactly is Ang'ata Serengeti Camp?
At the Sero 2 site in Seronera, the central Serengeti, with a view over the plains and valleys. Seronera airstrip is about fifteen minutes away by road.
How do I get there?
Most guests drive from Arusha over two days with a night in Karatu or on the Ngorongoro rim. The quicker option is a light aircraft flight of about an hour from Arusha Airport to Seronera, then a short road transfer.
What is included in the rate?
Full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus coffee and tea in the lounge and bottled water in your tent. Serengeti camping fees and the 1 percent Tourism Development Levy are charged on top, and your game drives come with your itinerary.
Can we bring young children?
The camp accepts children from 5 to 15 years with adults. A child sharing with an adult pays half the adult rate, a child in their own tent pays 70 percent, and from 16 years guests pay the adult rate. Children under 5 cannot stay.
When is the best time to visit?
Seronera works all year because lion and leopard live in the valley permanently. The camp's High Season runs from 10 December to 31 March and from 15 June to 14 September; the months in between are quieter and priced lower.
Is the camp open all year?
Yes. The supplier lists it as open throughout the year, with a High Season from 10 December to 31 March and 15 June to 14 September.
Is there electricity and phone charging?
Each tent has its own solar panel and battery for lighting, and phones and camera batteries are charged at the station in the lounge tent.
Can the kitchen handle dietary needs?
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus are available on request, and the central kitchen prepares food respecting Halal and Maasai traditions. Tell us your needs when you book.
Is the water safe to drink?
Tap water is not for drinking. Sealed bottled water is provided in every tent for drinking and brushing your teeth.
Is there medical care nearby?
Seronera is a remote part of the park, so we ask every guest to carry travel insurance that includes air evacuation. Tell us about any medical needs when you book so the camp can prepare.
Do I need travel insurance to visit?
Yes. From 1 October 2026 visitors entering mainland Tanzania must hold the government inbound travel insurance, 44 USD per adult and valid for up to 92 days, covering emergency medical care, evacuation, repatriation and lost luggage. Children aged 3 to 17 pay half and infants under 3 are free. It is bought online before you fly or on arrival, and residents of Tanzania and of East African and SADC countries are exempt. If you land in Zanzibar first, the Zanzibar policy covers you instead. It is paid by you directly and is not part of our quote.
What's nearby
Worth the short trip.
Moru Kopjes
Granite outcrops a drive south of camp, with Maasai rock paintings and the gong rock that rings like metal when it is struck.
Retima Hippo Pool
A bend of the Seronera river north of camp where hippo crowd into the shallows in their dozens. Best in the middle of the day.
Seronera Visitor Centre
Minutes from camp, with a shaded walking trail through the kopjes and plain displays on how the Serengeti works as one system.
Grumeti River and the western corridor
A long day drive west, following the river line that the herds must cross on their way north.
