Tenting (Pioneer Camp)

Staying at the Serengeti Pioneer Camp tonight.  It is owned by the same company that runs the Tarangire Tree Top Camp, and although it isn’t quite as luxurious, it is definitely our favorite lodging to date.  The four of us are awestruck that we are camping in the Serengeti – enjoying a 5-star steak dinner and ice cream by candlelight under the stars.  Truly magical.

Each “room” is an individual tent with a sitting area, writing desk and chair, king-sized bed and two night stands, closet space and a fully functional bathroom.  There’s no electricity in the tents, but there is generator powered lighting and a separate group charging station where we can charge cell phones, iPads, etc.  The staff is wonderful, the food is top-rate and the location truly amazing.  We’re told there are two resident male lions (believed to be brothers) we are likely to hear during the night, and a cheetah.  Ken saw two water buck fawns just outside Keith and Kathy’s tent.  We could stay here forever!
