Cherero Camp

Discover awe-inspiring landscapes and wilderness at one of Tanzania’s most elegant safari camps.

Located in the heart of Serengeti National Park, Cherero Camp offers a slice of heaven amidst the wilderness. Home to the Great Migrations and true natural wonder, feel the extraordinary surroundings of the Serengeti’s majestic wildlife, including huge herds of gazelle, wildebeest and galloping zebras. With no other camps in sight, escape to some of Tanzania’s most remote lands and truly immerse yourself in the music of nature.

As one of Kantiable Afrika’s two eco-friendly dwellings, Cherero Camp was founded on the principle of doing things the right way – placing integrity, purpose and harmony above all else. Maintaining the health of the land – and the communities that reside within it – have remained a primary focus since Kantiable’s inception. Built with no permanent constructions, for example, Cherero Camp was designed to be moved entirely without leaving a lasting trace on both the Serengeti and the earth.

About the Location

Located in the heart of the 15,000 square kilometer, UNESCO-recognized Serengeti National Park, Cherero Camp is strategically situated to allow access to myriad wildlife, including the Great Wildebeest Migration. Revel in the sense of freedom and seclusion that comes from waking up in an endless savannah and enjoy a more authentic wilderness experience, all without compromising comfort and luxury.

Highlights & Activities

Embark on a majestic game drive

Set off at sunrise on this intimate wildlife safari. Carefully positioned in the quieter reaches of the Serengeti, take advantage of this prime opportunity to spot the "big five" of the savannah – elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and Cape buffalo – with no one else around except your own personal private guide. In order to preserve natural wildlife migration patterns, guide vehicles are not allowed to go off-road, and well-trained guides prioritize guest education, allowing visitors to develop a stronger appreciation for their unique privilege as well as a deeper respect for the animals they are allowed to witness.

Learn how to document the drama of the animal kingdom

The expansive plains and boundless skies of this UNESCO-recognized national park provide the perfect backdrop for any photographer. Perfect for any skill level, on this specialized photography safari, you’ll learn all the essential techniques for capturing the essence of life on the savannah on film.

Soar above the savannah in a hot air balloon

Once you’ve witnessed the Serengeti on foot, why not elevate your experience by taking the bird’s eye view? Watch as magnificent wildlife migrations transform before your very eyes, cresting and crashing in abstract and mesmerizing formations. Once back on solid ground, toast your journey with a glass of champagne, followed by a full-service bush breakfast.

Experience a private starlit feast

Just because the sun has gone to bed doesn’t mean the safari has. Experience the sights and sounds of the Tanzanian twilight under the glittering night sky. Accompanied by a chef-prepared meal of fresh, seasonal, and locally-sourced ingredients, this private dining experience promises a sumptuous feast for all the senses, with menu options ranging from Kilimanjaro beer chicken to Swahili pilau and fried Mzuzu bananas.

Enjoy a safari-inspired happy hour

Though the historical sundowner entailed using medicinal gin and tonics as a means to ward off malaria, at Cherero, you can enjoy your pick of refreshing cocktails and tasty snacks to wind down your Serengeti adventure. Bask in the stunning Tanzanian sunset and exchange bush tales with friends and loved ones – a traditional close for any excursion.

Founded with a deep respect for its local food systems, artisans and animals, Cherero Camp strives to both preserve and honor life on the savannah.

With electricity and hot water powered by solar, each of Cherero Camp’s luxury tents rests on a platform of locally sourced teak timber, reflecting the camp’s commitment to sustainability. In fact, there are no permanent structures at any of Kantabile’s (Cherero’s family company) eco-lodges, allowing the company to minimize its impact on the local ecosystem as much as possible. Glass refillable toiletries and water carafes in every tent help reduce the need for single-use plastics.

With a 100% Tanzanian staff population, Cherero Camp prides itself on its “home grown” and empowering employment philosophy, focusing more on employee character and work ethic than formal education (as most of the local population lacks access to formal training opportunities). This contributes to developing the Tanzanian culture of warmth and hospitality, which the resort takes great pride in. Additionally, ex-poachers are hired as askaris, or camp guards, providing them with the fulfilling regular income source necessary to leave poaching behind. Local residents enjoy generous discounted rates of up to 50% off, ensuring equitable access for local communities, and the resort is a proud supporter of the Days for Girls program, which helps provide reusable pads and reproductive health education for rural primary schools.

Handcrafted furniture designed by local artisans decorates each tent’s spacious 500 square foot interior, and fresh, locally-sourced meals not only reduce negative agricultural impacts but also highlight Cherero’s respect for the local culture and environment. Cherero Camp is also a member of Africa Geographic, a private travel and conservation club for travelers who want their safaris to make a real difference to communities on the African continent.

Driven by its commitment to redefine bush luxury, each space and experience at Cherero Camp has been meticulously designed to immerse guests in the wonders of the Serengeti without compromising comfort. Exclusively located in a Great Migration corridor free of outside sound and light pollution, guests receive unparalleled viewing access to local wildlife, from wildebeests to lions, all without needing to leave their tents.
