The Heart of the Serengeti, All Year Round
Untamed Katikati is set in the Seronera Valley, the biological heart of the Serengeti ecosystem. Thanks to permanent water sources and dense riverine forest, this is one of the very few places in the park with substantial resident wildlife populations â meaning fantastic game viewing whether or not the Great Migration herds are passing through.
Twice a year, in AprilâJune and again in November, the migrating herds themselves stream through this same valley on their way north or south â giving Katikati guests a rare chance to combine big cat territory with front-row seats to the migration in transit.
Classic Tented Camping, Elevated
Katikati’s 10 tented rooms channel the spirit of a classic 1950s safari camp with modern comforts layered in. Set beneath shady acacia trees, each tent offers privacy and a genuine sense of being immersed in the bush, just steps from the central mess and lounge tent.
- En-suite bathroom with hot bucket showers
- Shaded tent positions under acacia canopy
- Writing desk & comfortable seating area
- Mosquito-netted twin or double beds
- Central dining & lounge tent with nightly campfire
