Kisura Serengeti Camp

Ten. It is a small camp, which is why the staff get to know guests quickly and why it books out in the busy months. The tent count comes from the camp's distribution listings rather than from the contract, so treat it as close rather than exact.

At Sero 1 in Seronera, the central Serengeti, on a short track behind the Seronera airstrip. It is inside Serengeti National Park, so park fees apply for every day of the stay.

Most fly. It is about forty five minutes by road from Kilimanjaro to Arusha Airport, then about an hour and a quarter by light aircraft to Seronera airstrip, then a few minutes by vehicle. By road it is about nine hours from Kilimanjaro and is normally split over two days with a night at Karatu or on the Ngorongoro rim.

All year. The camp is permanently pitched at Sero 1 and the contract carries no closed months, so it can be booked in any month including the green season in April and May.

Accommodation and full board, three meals a day, with drinking water. The rate also carries the Tourism Development Levy and VAT. Game drives, transfers, park fees, camping fees, laundry and beverages other than drinking water are all charged separately.

No. Game drives, walking safaris and night drives are all outside the rate here, which is normal for a camp at this level in Seronera. Most guests arrive with a vehicle and guide already booked for the whole trip, and that is the arrangement we would put together.

Yes. The camp takes children, the triple tent is the one families use most, and the contract sets out how children are charged by age. Bear in mind the camp is unfenced and animals walk through it after dark, so children need to be with an adult at all times.

Power is solar, so charge cameras and phones during the day rather than overnight, and expect the supply to be limited rather than constant. Hot water for showers is prepared when you ask for it, which is standard for tented camps inside the park. Anyone travelling with a medical device that needs mains power should tell us before booking.

The camp offers wireless internet and guests generally get enough signal for messages and email. Do not plan on video calls from the middle of the Serengeti.

June to October is the driest stretch and the easiest game viewing, and the herds usually move north through the central park from about May. January and February put the calving herds within reach on the plains to the south. April and May are green, quiet and cheaper, with resident cats still on the river.

No. It sits inside the national park with no fence, and elephant, giraffe and hyena regularly move between the tents at night. Staff escort guests to and from the tents after dark and that escort is not optional.

April and May bring afternoon rain, green grass and far fewer vehicles at sightings. The resident lion, leopard and cheetah of the Seronera valley do not leave, so the game viewing stays good even when the migration is elsewhere.

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.
