Tanzania Holiday Ideas

A relaxed Serengeti safari camp set among granite kopjes and wide open plains.

In the north-eastern Serengeti between Seronera and Lobo, Togoro Plains sits in a quieter part of the park where broad grasslands stretch towards the horizon and wildlife moves freely through the surrounding landscape and camp itself. Built around impressive granite kopjes, the camp feels integrated into its setting rather than placed upon it.

The atmosphere here is relaxed and unhurried, balancing classic safari comfort with a more peaceful feel away from some of the busier wildlife circuits. Contemporary tented accommodation, wide views across the plains and time spent between game drives beside the pool or around the campfire create a stay that suits couples, photographers and travellers looking for a safari with room to slow down as well as explore.

We had an amazing time. Everything was brilliant (even the baboon leaving a gift on the bed in the Serengeti!). I think Nick’s highlight was the lion cubs. I loved all the safari, but seeing the turtles hatch in Pangani was truly awesome. All the accommodation was exactly what we had hoped for. I hadn’t realised we would have a tent on our first night as well.

Why we love it here

  • The camp is built around granite kopjes, creating a setting that feels naturally woven into the landscape.
  • The north-eastern Serengeti often feels quieter than more heavily visited areas of the park.
  • Elevated views across the Togoro Plains.
  • Wildlife moves through the surrounding plains year-round, with seasonal migration activity adding another dimension at certain times.
  • A swimming pool that is built among the rocks.
  • Family tents with separate spaces make it easier for those travelling with children.
  • Evenings around the fire feel calm after a day spent out in the bush.
  • The surrounding landscape particularly suits photographers and travellers who enjoy quieter wildlife viewing.

Rooms

The 14 tented rooms are designed in a contemporary safari style, built on raised platforms and positioned with generous space between them for privacy. Natural textures and simple design details keep the focus on the surrounding landscape rather than drawing attention indoors. Each tent includes a private veranda looking out across the plains, creating an easy place to pause and watch the changing light at the end of the day. Family tents with separate sleeping spaces are also available, making the camp a practical option for those travelling together while still maintaining the same open connection to the Serengeti setting.

Food

Dining at Togoro Plains follows the natural rhythm of safari days, with meals served in the restaurant tent and outdoor dining options available at certain times during the stay. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal. Fresh and seasonal ingredients feature throughout the menu, while bush breakfasts, picnic lunches or dining beneath open skies can add variety to the routine of the day. Between activities, the lounge and bar areas create quiet spaces to stop for a drink and absorb the stillness of the landscape.

Activities

Game drives are the centre of the stay, exploring an area of the Serengeti known for year-round wildlife and wide open landscapes. Depending on the season, this can include everything from large predator sightings and resident plains game to the movement of the migration through nearby areas. The lower density of vehicles in this region often creates a quieter and more spacious feel during sightings.

For a different perspective, trek with Maasai and visit a Maasai village. Back at camp, the slower moments matter just as much. Time by the rock-framed pool, quiet viewpoints across the plains and evenings around the fire create a safari that balances wildlife viewing with a strong sense of place.

Glenn Hanson, Tanzania

We were keen to see as many species of bird as possible and the guides were expecting this and each had amazing knowledge of where to find them. Not just that, but they made sure we also got to see many of the rest of the wildlife of the region - everything from amazing numbers of Impala, Giraffe, Elephant, Zebra, lions, Cheetah and Leopard, and even Wild Dog that we had hoped to see but doubted we would be so lucky!

Peter Haine, Tanzania

We had an amazing time. Everything was brilliant (even the baboon leaving a gift on the bed in the Serengeti!). I think Nick’s highlight was the lion cubs. I loved all the safari, but seeing the turtles hatch in Pangani was truly awesome. All the accommodation was exactly what we had hoped for. I hadn’t realised we would have a tent on our first night as well.

Jacqui Davids, Tanzania

Thank you for arranging a fantastic holiday. We both really enjoyed ourselves and felt totally refreshed upon our return. The game viewing was spectacular, we were so lucky to see the pantheon of game on offer including hyena, wild dog and leopard, as well as a different pride of lion on each day we went out.

Hazel Bellfield, Tanzania

We had a wonderful time away, beautiful setting and such great staff. Especially Pongwe – again staff, food, location fantastic!
