Acacia Central Camp

Acacia Central Camp — Classic Safari Camp at Seronera, Central Serengeti

Acacia Central Camp is a 13-tent safari camp in the central Serengeti — the Seronera area on Rongai Hill — tucked beneath a canopy of acacia trees with savannah views and exceptional year-round wildlife access. The camp's position at Seronera is one of its key advantages: the central Serengeti has the highest resident density of leopard in all of Africa, year-round lion and cheetah, and the Migration passes through the Seronera Valley in April/May and November/December. The Seronera Airstrip is within walking distance, making air arrivals seamless.

The camp evokes classic East African safari atmosphere — old-fashioned canvas tents under acacia shade, a bonfire and barbecue area, a lounge, and the sounds of the bush at night. Reviews from 2025 and early 2026 highlight the genuine staff warmth, the generous portions at meals, and the thrill of animals moving through the camp after dark. At the mid-range price point it offers a strong blend of comfort and authenticity.

Accommodation

Thirteen canvas tents including one family tent that accommodates four with its own private lounge. All tents have en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, furnished patios with savannah views, in-room safes, coffee makers and free bottled water. Room service is available. The restaurant serves buffet-style meals with local flavours. A swimming pool and bar are on site, as is a lounge and bonfire/barbecue area.

Activities

Game drives in the central Serengeti for the resident wildlife year-round: leopard (the Seronera Valley has among the highest densities in Africa), lion, cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest. Hot-air balloon safaris over the Serengeti at dawn. Bush dinners by the bonfire. Sunset picnics on the plains. Maasai cultural visits. Massage service at the camp.

Who Is Acacia Central Camp Best For?

The camp is for travellers who want the classic tented-camp atmosphere in the heart of the Serengeti at a mid-range price, with excellent year-round leopard access and a convenient airstrip position. It suits independent couples, small groups and honeymooners wanting a bush-immersive experience without the large-lodge infrastructure. The family tent with its own private lounge is a strong option for families travelling with children.
