EnquireSerian’s Serengeti South is a traditional, mobile camp which is set up from December to May in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area at the southernmost tip of the vast Serengeti Plains, Tanzania. Accessed via light aircraft, the camp is hidden away in a bay of acacia woodland, offering spectacular views of the millions of wildebeest who congregate here to give birth to their young. The predator action during this season is inevitably spectacular, with an abundance of cheetah, hyena and wild dogs to be seen.
This high-specification camp belongs to the ‘Alex Walker’s Serian’ portfolio and offers comfort and exclusivity to guests, making it an ideal option for groups or families. There is a cosy mess tent where meals are served at a communal dining table and six spacious safari-style tents with large beds, attractive furnishings and en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and bucket showers (hot water is provided). All tents have superb views northwards over the Lamai Wedge. Tented suites for groups or families consist of two tents joined by a communal living space. Parents can sleep in one tent and children in the other, with the option for a third child to sleep comfortably in the living room. Triple tents are also available. Children of all ages are welcome, although note that animals are free to roam through the camp and whilst they’re unlikely to approach humans or tents, children should remain under the watchful eye of their parents at all times.
Activities centre on exploring the stunning surroundings. Guests enjoy game drives from the comfort of their own private safari vehicle, complete with dedicated expert guide and spotter. Night drives, with picnic dinners and infrared cameras supplied, are not to be missed. The wide-open landscape and wonderful scenery mean that walking safaris are particularly good here, with the local Hadzabe and Mangati hunter-gatherer guides providing a unique perspective and sharing their traditional ways of life with visitors. Fly-camping close to the Seketeti Escarpment, with wonderful views down over Lake Eyasi, is also a special feature.
Serian’s Serengeti South is an attractive, well-managed camp offering a good range of activities. Although the price tag naturally reflects the superb location and high standards of service and accommodation, the wildlife-viewing is unbeatable and guests will enjoy an incredible stay.
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
