General Information

She latest in Bougainvillea Group of Lodges’ group of camps and lodges, ThornTree Camp is a classic tented safari camp located in Seronera area of Serengeti National Park, about fifteen minutes from the Seronera airstrip and visitor’s centre. The camp is open year round; offering traditional Tanzanian hospitality and great food.

The camp is permanently based in central Serengeti, in the Seronera Valley, home to year-round wildlife due to the constant presence of water. This area is famous for spotting lion, leopard and large herds of elephant. Views from the campsite look across onto Banagi Hill and classic vistas of the Serengeti Plains.

The entire camp is powered by solar including hot water and electricity.

Authentic luxury

A great deal of thought has gone into the detail of each tent and, as you would expect in a property of this standard, an in-tent safe, hairdryer, toweling robes, a gas fired heater for use on cold nights, leather fasteners with brass buckles on windows and doors and an array of other carefully thought out finishing touches are only some of the surprises we have in store for our guests.

The camp will consist of 8 accommodation tents, each measuring 45 square metres to include a private verandah. A two-bedroomed family tent will also be available for guests travelling with small children

Each tent will sit atop a wooden platform raised 30 centimeters from the ground and will have a generous sleeping area complete with lounge space. An ensuite bathroom with “his and hers” wash hand basins, large shower and proper flush toilet will complete each guest tent. The family tent will be appointed to the same high standards.

Ave inspiring food

Our chef, Axel Janssen, studied at one of the most prestigious schools in Europe and perfected his culinary art in several Michelin star restaurants. by absorbing local influences he has created his own highly appreciated cuisine: a fusion of exquisite European and African delights based on seasonal specialties. From breakfast with warm, oven crisp breads and freshly squeezed juices, to lunch with carefully selected brasserie dishes to the culinary feast for your taste buds at dinner.
