“Kati kati” means “in the middle” in Swahili. That is exactly where this mobile camp sits: in the middle of the central Serengeti. The famous Seronera big-cat circuits are close by. This is the real canvas safari, done well and fairly priced.

Walk-In Tents with Real Comfort

The walk-in tents have proper beds with warm bedding. Each tent has a private bathroom at the back. There is a flush toilet and a hot safari shower, filled on request. The tents are simple but very comfortable. You are sleeping in the wild, with everything you need.

Meals and the Campfire

There is a friendly dining tent where hot, hearty meals are served. The cooks work wonders from a bush kitchen. Packed lunches go with you on full-day game drives. After dinner, the campfire glows under a sky full of stars.

Why Guests Love It

The camp trades fancy buildings for atmosphere and value. You fall asleep to the sound of lions calling. You wake up inside the park, minutes from the morning’s first sightings. There are no gate lines and no long transfers. The wild is all around you, all the time.

Wildlife and Access

The central Serengeti offers reliable big cats all year. Lions, leopards and cheetahs are seen almost daily. The migration passes through in season. Guests fly to Seronera airstrip or drive in via Ngorongoro. For the true Serengeti camping experience with comfort intact, Kati Kati is a long-time favorite.

Best Time to Visit

Serengeti Kati Kati delivers all year, thanks to Seronera’s resident big cats. The migration passes through the central Serengeti around April to June and again in November. Nights under canvas are cool in the green season, so pack a fleece. Two or three nights is ideal. The camp suits adventurous couples, families and budget-smart travelers who want the real Serengeti, not a hotel with a view of it.
