wild Wakati Camp

Immerse yourself on safari in the Serengeti

AT THE HEART OF THE ACTION

Wild Wakati Camp occupies a prime position in the centre of the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most wildlife-rich and renowned national park. Experience incredible year-round sights on safari, including resident prides of lion, herds of elephant, black rhino, and in certain months of the year, the megaherds of the Great Migration passing right by your doorstep.

While wildlife can roam freely, Maasai warriors escort guests to and from the camp’s luxury tents each evening to ensure safety. With no fences to restrict access, this provides an authentic connection with nature, creating some truly unbeatable sights while sipping your morning coffee on the veranda.

The bucket is filled with warm water and hoisted into position. A valve-operated nozzle controls the water flow, allowing for a surprisingly effective and enjoyable shower in your private bathroom. They are water-efficient, using only the amount needed, and contribute to a rustic and immersive safari experience.

fAMILIES

Where better to take little ones than on safari? Wild Wakati Camp is a great option for families, with two thoughtfully-designed family tents, a kids’ menu and flexible mealtimes, as well as endless activities to keep young safari-goers entertained – and giving parents a much-deserved break.

Here at Wild Wakati, we welcome children aged 5 years and above to be ‘Enduata Explorers’.

Safaris offer amazing opportunities for family bonding in a unique setting, with once-in-a-lifetime experiences…we also know kids can get restless when not entertained!

Enduata Explorers is our offering for kids and young adults. We understand that what a 7 yr old wants isn’t the same as what a 12 yr old wants and so we aim to be as flexible as possible with each guest’s needs.

We know that fixed meal times may not work for families. We can organise snack packs and bush breakfasts to take on morning game-drives. Likewise in the evenings, if you prefer an earlier dinner and then bedtime for kids, before parents sit down to dinner, this can be arranged in advance too.

To note, the minimum age to stay in a private room is 15. Upon arrival, a parent must sign an indemnity form.

HONEYMOONS

At Wakati Camp, romance and adventure intertwine. Our exclusive camp is thoughtfully crafted for honeymooners seeking an unforgettable escape into the heart of the wild. Immerse yourselves in luxurious comfort, personalised service, and a tranquil atmosphere designed to inspire connection and celebrate your new life together.

For honeymooners, a private dining table awaits with breathtaking views of the African landscape, perfect for romantic moments. If you prefer, you may also join other guests for meals; just let us know your wishes.

Spend your days exploring the wilderness together, discovering incredible wildlife with your expert guide. For added intimacy, book a private vehicle and plan your own personalised game drives to create unforgettable shared adventures.

Begin your mornings with a memorable bush breakfast together in the heart of the African wilderness, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the quiet thrill of nearby wildlife.

In the evening, let us arrange a private dinner for you under a starlit sky in a secluded part of camp. Enjoy a candlelit table adorned with lanterns, while the gentle sounds of the African night create a magical, intimate setting.

Your honeymoon safari will be filled with romance, intimacy, and memories to treasure forever.
