About
Dunia Camp sits close to the Moru Kopjes, a cluster of granite boulders in a lesser visited part of the Serengeti. It is tucked between the central Seronera valley and the southern plains around Ndutu, a position Asilia chose so that guests can reach good game and migration country while staying away from the busier parts of the park. Seronera airstrip, the main airstrip in the Serengeti, is about 45 minutes to an hour away by road.
What makes Dunia different is the team. It is the first safari camp in Africa run entirely by women, according to Asilia, and the managers, guides, chefs and housekeepers are all women, many of them from communities where this kind of work has not traditionally been open to them. Guests consistently single out the warmth of the welcome, the farewell songs and the care taken over small things, and the food is cooked fresh in camp from produce bought as locally as possible.
There are eight large guest tents, one of them a family tent with separate bedrooms. Each is raised on a timber deck to give an uninterrupted view of the plains and the Moru Kopjes, with a king size bed under netting, a day bed, a writing desk and a veranda. The bathrooms are en suite with a flush toilet, a basin and a fully plumbed hot shower. Power is solar with a generator as backup, there is USB and battery charging in every tent, and wifi is available.
The mess and dining tent has an outdoor breakfast counter where you can watch the sun come up with your first coffee, and the lounge tent opens onto a broad deck above the grass. Evenings end around the campfire. From camp, game drives reach three quite different areas: the Seronera river, known for its big cats; the Moru Kopjes, where lion and leopard use the boulders and black rhino are present; and the short grass plains to the south where the wildebeest calve early in the year.
Signature experiences
From the manager to the guides, the whole Dunia team is women. Guests remember the welcome, the songs on arrival and departure, and the attention to detail.
The granite boulders near camp are a favourite of lion and leopard, and this is where the Serengeti's black rhino are found. Go early, when the cats are still on the rocks.
The mess tent has an outdoor breakfast counter facing east, so the first coffee of the day comes with the light coming up over the plains.
Dunia sits on the migration route, and the herds pass near camp on their way north and again on their way south, without the vehicle numbers of the busier areas.

Location & access
Seronera Central Serengeti
Seronera is the nearest airstrip, about 45 minutes to an hour by road from camp, and the transfer is included on the Game Package. Light aircraft reach Seronera from Arusha Airport in about an hour, longer when the flight makes a stop. From Kilimanjaro International Airport allow about an hour and fifteen minutes by road to Arusha Airport first.
A long day, about nine hours. From Kilimanjaro International Airport the road runs west to Arusha, then on tarmac through Mto wa Mbu and up the escarpment through Karatu to the Loduare gate, over the Ngorongoro rim and past Olduvai Gorge to the Naabi Hill gate, then across the plains towards the Moru Kopjes. Most guests break the drive with a night in Karatu or on the crater rim.

Most guests fly from Arusha to Seronera airstrip on a scheduled light aircraft, about an hour in the air, then drive about 45 minutes to an hour to camp. On the Game Package that transfer is included; on Full Board it is not. By road from Arusha it is a long day through the Ngorongoro highlands and across the Serengeti plains.
June to September is dry, with clear game viewing and the camp quiet despite it being peak season. The wildebeest pass near camp heading north roughly between March and June and return south in November and December, and calving happens on the southern plains early in the year.
