Usawa Serengeti

Serengeti & Northern Tanzania

Usawa Serengeti is a mobile safari camp that follows the movements of the Great Migration herds as they traverse the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The luxurious, intimate camp sleeps 12 guests in six en-suite safari tents. True to its Swahili name meaning "balance," Usawa Serengeti strikes the perfect harmony between the drama of the Great Migration and the exclusivity of remote wilderness. The camp moves several times a year, ensuring guests are always positioned close to the herds while enjoying tranquil, less crowded areas of the park.

Despite its mobility, Usawa offers an intimate and private gateway to Tanzania’s most iconic safari destination. Solar-powered and sustainably built with an ultra-light environmental footprint, the camp seamlessly blends high end touches, exceptional service and an unfiltered connection to nature. The camp is available for sole-use bookings, making it perfect for families or groups looking for a tailored experience.

Accommodation

Usawa has six en-suite safari tents, offering an unparalleled sense of privacy and exclusivity. Each tent combines modern comforts with sustainability, featuring solar power, Wi-Fi and hot water, creating a balance between luxury and eco-conscious living in the heart of the Serengeti.

Food & Drink

Usawa's menu is indulgent, fresh and highlights locally sourced, nutritious and sustainable ingredients. Every meal reflects a commitment to both taste and sustainability. The camp actively reduces food waste through creative and practical menu planning.

Children

Usawa welcomes children aged six and older and offers a spacious family unit with two luxury tents connected by an external passage. Families can enjoy immersive safari experiences, tailored adventures for children as well as delicious child-friendly meals. Sole-use bookings are required for famililes with children under the age of six.

Sustainability

As a fully mobile setup Usawa Serengeti leaves no permanent footprint, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The camp supports local communities through training and education and partners with authorities and local organisations, to protect the Serengeti’s unique landscapes, fostering sustainable conservation for future generations.
