Set beneath the crashing cascades of the Endabash Waterfall, this breath-taking camp sits on the edge of a dry riverbed. Set away from game drive tracks and one of only a handful of camps in this park, our Manyara camp benefits from both privacy and tranquillity. The aspect looks out onto the towering rift and forested, peaceful peaks.

Often known as our family adventure camp, this location offers night game drives, canoe safaris and a treetop walkway within the park. Walks can also be arranged whether it is a leisurely walk along the lakeshore, or a full day extreme hike up the Rift Valley.

Classic Tents

We have 8 beautifully spacious, comfortable and stylish tents with large windows that let the light and air in. The idea of these tents is that you feel immersed in the bush whilst still enjoying the comfort of a large double bed, linen sheets and everything you want and nothing you don't. These tents are set on decks for that extra sense of comfort and protections and also providing a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the game that wanders past camp daily. En-suites are attached with flushing toilets, bucket showers and basins. These tents are operated in the most environmentally sustainable manner whilst also being somewhere you can relax and enjoy true wilderness. All these tents and interiors have been handmade by local crafts-people with materials sourced locally.

The Highlands redefines the Ngorongoro experience. Set on the edge of the mountain forest hugging the Olmoti volcano to the north of Ngorongoro Crater, The Highlands strikes a perfect balance between a true wilderness experience and a high-style, contemporary escape. Experience the highlands of the wild Ngorongoro Conservation Area surrounding camp, home to leopard, buffalo and elephant. Follow ancient Maasai trails to the summit of the Olmoti crater and visit local communities to catch a glimpse into the traditional Maasai way of life that has defined this corner of East Africa for centuries. The famous Ngorongoro Crater is easily accessible from camp, while the setting ensures maximum privacy, a rich adventure and a range of activities not possible elsewhere in Ngorongoro.

Ngorongoro Crater Descent Olmoti Climb Empakaai Descent Community & Cultural Visits

Enjoy a game drive in one of the most game-rich areas in the world, the Ngorongoro Crater. Explore the vast 300km2 floor with an experienced guide and stop for lunch in a shady spot under the trees, maximising your time in this unforgettable landscape. Our seven-seater closed vehicles are fitted with power points so you can recharge your devices, as well as a fridge to keep your drinks deliciously frosty.

Starting directly from camp, the Olmoti climb follows an ancient Maasai cattle trail through mountain forest, grasslands and rocky outcrops. Make the most of outstanding birding opportunities and the chance to see a vast array of butterfly species. At the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent view of the crater below.

Descend into the Empakaai crater accompanied by an NCA ranger and walk to the sparkling soda lake on the crater floor, famous for the pink flamingo that congregate on its shores. Because of the camp’s proximity to Empakaai, it is the only property that gives you the opportunity to make this a half-day excursion.

Spend the afternoon with the local Maasai in one of the neighbouring villages to learn about the traditional way of life that has defined this corner of Africa for centuries. School visits may be possible depending on the time of year.

Little Green Camp’s smaller size allows it to achieve an in-depth, wild experience of the Serengeti. This adventurous camp is able to move more frequently; more closely following the movements of the herds as they circle through the Serengeti eco-system. Its locations are deeper into the remote parts of the eco-system and away from the crowds.

Wayo Little Green Camp’s lightweight tents are perfect for couples or families with older children. They are known as star tents; bespoke made with gauze sides and roof to enable guests to feel as though they are wild camping in the African plains without compromising on safety. Sides can be covered in the event of heavy rains and curtains provide privacy if required.

Despite being small and more adventurous, these tents still benefit from an attached private bathroom with a bucket shower and a compost toilet.

Our walks from this camp can be either full day walks or half days and guests loop back to camp. Our regions benefit from interesting rocky kopjes, drainage lines and acacia woodlands allowing you to discover areas outside of a vehicle. All walks are carried out by a trained Wayo Africa walking guide and a Serengeti Park Ranger.

WAYO LITTLE GREEN CAMP can also be booked exclusively.

Dunia camp offers a tranquil and very private base from which to visit two of the Serengeti’s prime game viewing areas; the Central Serengeti valley and the Southern Serengeti plains. From its location in an exclusive valley away from heavy traffic, excellent game viewing can be accessed throughout the year. Dunia is an intimate camp with a simple yet graceful style that reflects the camp’s philosophy of leaving the lightest footprint while enhancing the Serengeti wilderness experience. The eight spacious tents, slightly elevated on the slope of Nyareboro Hill, feature an en-suite bathroom and veranda from which magnificent views of the golden-grassed plains of the Serengeti unfold. Canvas chairs and coir mats adorn the private verandas, while hurricane lamps provide a flicker of vintage charm as the sun dips behind the region’s iconic granite outcrops. Weathered wood, sturdy canvas and fine linen: Dunia is a place of comfortable simplicity and effortless charm, where unnecessary distractions are pared away.

Dunia - Game Drives Dunia - Hot Air Ballooning Dunia - Family Safaris

Game drives at Dunia can be tailored to suit your requirements. Choose to rise with the birds and head out on an early morning game drive, return to camp for a light lunch and then head out again in the afternoon or embrace a full day in the bush, supplied with a delicious packed breakfast or picnic lunch to maximize game viewing time. Please discuss your preferences with your guide or manager.

There’s just something about soaring aloft in a hot-air balloon over the plains of the Serengeti. You will take to the skies in the early morning as the sun’s first rays peek over the plains, and after an hour or two, you’ll come back down to earth for a champagne picnic in the bush. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Please note that there is an additional charge for this activity.

Dunia welcomes children from 5 years of age and older. We guarantee a private safari vehicle to families of 4 or more during the low season, but during high season families with children under 12 are obliged to use a private game-viewing vehicle at extra cost. Our bush guides have a wealth of insightful experience and they will captivate you and your children with bush-wise facts, wildlife know-how, games, local customs, and incredible stories of life in the wilderness.
