Hippo Trails Camp Serengeti Tanzania

Hippo Trails Camp Serengeti Tanzania is a special tented camp located inside Serengeti National Park, 21 Kilometres away from Seronera Airstrip next to Retima Picnic Site, on the slopes of Banagi Hills. The location is quite near Retima Hippo pool, a perfect launching point for wildlife viewing to most of the hotspots in northern and central Serengeti.

Serengeti National Park is approximately 350kilometers from Arusha by road and the estimated driving time is five hours. The flying time from Arusha to Serengeti Seronera airstrip is approximately 2 hours.

The presence of permanent water makes this an ideal area for sighting elephants, lions, leopards, cheetah, and other species such as gazelle, warthog, impala, baboon as well as crocodiles and hippo in the waterholes.

Hippo Trails Camp Serengeti Tanzania comprises 12 tents. The tents are elevated on wood platforms, fashionably decorated with comfortable furnishings including king-size or twin beds, a writing desk, luggage racks, and a sitting area with chairs and a coffee table. On the outside veranda, you’ll find safari chairs and a small table.

The camp is well known for its excellent food. The managing director is a trained chef of excellent standards and works with each team, including that of Hippo Trails, to ensure menus are diverse, delicious, and nutritious. 

Free wi-fi is available in the common area tent. Sleeping tents are made up and serviced daily and your room steward will help with extra needs. Due to water scarcity, laundry services are not offered and ask that you please conserve water in your tent. Purified water is provided in the tent for brushing teeth.

At Hippo Trails Camp the mission is to provide you with the best possible comfort in the Serengeti without distractions that take away from the extraordinary natural beauty of the surroundings.

All the amenities you may need are provided. The bathrooms have flush toilets, hot and cold running water, a large vanity area, and closet space with hangers and shelving. Toiletries are provided in large pump bottles to save the environment from more plastic waste. Both electricity and hot water are fully solar-powered.

Activities from the camp include; Game drives, bush walks, balloon safari, etc. Nearby is the Seronera Visitor’s Centre with an outdoor interpretative display; a self-guided educational walk combining the natural history of Serengeti as well as the history of Tanzania.
