Overview

Surrounded by open savannah, Ikoma Tented Camp shelters guests in a grove of acacia trees amidst the Serengeti National Park. Whilst potentially vulnerable to some noise from game vehicle traffic, Ikoma Tented Camp is a fantastic good value camp from which to explore the wildlife among the plains by vehicle or by foot.

The camp positions guests at the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, from which trail Kirawira and the Grumeti river. Along the way, guests may spot giant wildebeest-eating crocodiles, lions dangling from trees to escape the savannah heat, and giraffes peering into the lodge area. Guests can enjoy the camp’s unique nocturnal game drives, which provide a great opportunity to see game that only appear at night such as leopard, aardvark, and the bat-eared fox.

Walking game trails also offer guests the opportunity to see such game up close and personal. These walks are led by expert rangers who enable guests to get as close to the game as is safely possible, and are usually followed either by breakfast in the bush at dawn or sundowners at dusk. Guests may also take the chance to visit a local Maasai village.

Private verandas offer good views of the Serengeti plains. These come with each of the 35 spacious tented rooms available as guest accommodation, which accompany en-suite facilities and cold drink room service. Bush breakfast and dinner is also available upon request.

  • Thank you, Lisa! Our trip was wonderful even with the weather disruption. We loved seeing so many different parts of the country, meeting people and experiencing the culture. The desert was surely a highlight for our boys and the creativity and artisanship of everything from food to crafts were a highlight for me. A special shout out to our guide and driver, they became a special part of our trip and we will forever be grateful for meeting them and learning from them. I cannot believe we had to wait three years for this adventure but it was certainly worth the wait! Thanks for all your help building the itinerary, modifying it and troubleshooting during our stay.

  • Hi Lisa and everyone at Tourdust,
    We've had a wonderful time on our holiday and wanted to pass our appreciation to you. Everything has been expertly planned and executed, allowing us to enjoy the holiday to its fullest. Special appreciation to Muhammed, Ibrahim, and Omar, our Atlas guide, cook, and muleteer, who couldn't have done more for us and were just generally wonderful and hardworking. Riad Hanane is a perfect base in Marrakech to complement the trekking as it's ina less touristy area of the medina, which we appreciated. The staff and accomodation was superb.Thank you again for a trip to remember!
    Bob, May, Grace, and Lucas

  • Hello Lisa. We came back from our trip two weeks ago now so I am sending this email much later than I wanted to. Nevertheless, what I wanted to say was thank you very much for helping us organise an amazing trip. Our days in Mafia Island to celebrate my 50th birthday were exactly what I wanted them to be: a fantastic time with the family doing activities that we all love and enjoy in a relaxing, unusual, beautiful place full of sun, surrounded by water, wildlife and friendly people. We swam with whale sharks, did a lot of snorkeling, had two picnics on a beautiful sand bank, watched the sunset over the sea, did a bird watching excursion and tried scuba diving.
    All merit to you because Pole Pole in Mafia Island was your recommendation. I never heard of Mafia Island before and didn't consider Tanzania to start with. It was an amazing place to stay: friendly, relaxed, beautiful, comfortable, with great food and fantastic service. Thanks not only for finding the place but also for your patience as we prepared the trip and I explored options and decided what I wanted. All went incredibly well (places, transfers, flights) and we had a very memorable time together that we will all remember forever - as we still do the safari trip to South Africa you organised for us 5 years ago.
    I cannot wait to plan another trip! I am already thinking about where and when. Hopefully no pandemic will get in the way this time. And I will come to you as my favourite travel agent.
    I copy in this message the Tourdust office because I want them to know how good you are and how much I appreciated the different trips you organised for us (including the trip to India for my parents that was cancelled due to Covid). I cannot thank you enough :o)
    Kind regards, Carol
