Camping and tented itineraries through Serengeti National Park keep you closer to the night sounds and the morning game drive. Most northern Tanzania safaris aim here, and for good reason: the Serengeti still holds one of the densest wildlife spectacles on earth. The short-grass plains near Seronera are the busiest. Guides who work the Western Corridor, Lobo and the Mara River treat the park as several destinations in one season. Compare canvas and mobile-camp routes, then speak to the local company that pitches the tents.
