Ole Serai Luxury Camp Moru Kopjes – Central Serengeti

Evenings at Ole Serai Luxury Camp Moru Kopjes tend to end around the fire. The bartender mixes local cocktails, a resident teacher shares a few Swahili phrases and, on a clear night, the stars put on a show above the boma.

By day, the setting does the talking. The camp sits between the Rongai and Nyaroboro Hills in the central Serengeti, just a few metres from the Mbalageti River and a hippo pool. Resident wildlife includes the Big Five, and a guided walk from the boma follows the migration route that runs right past camp. The rocky outcrops of Moru Kopjes, with their rhino sanctuary and the Maasai paintings of Gong Rock, are close by.

Back at camp, the lounge combines leather chesterfields and carved masks with a well-stocked bar, and the dining tent shares the same sweeping views as the guest tents. Breakfast can arrive in bed or be laid out on the plains, and dinner can move to a private boma or out into the bush. It is classic safari comfort with the polish you would expect from the Wellworth Collection.

ACCOMMODATION

Every tent is set up for the view. Beds look out across acacia-dotted plains, with 180-degree panoramas you can enjoy without leaving your pillows. Interiors pair animal-print throws, chandeliers and travel-trunk furniture with memory foam beds, tea and coffee facilities and an in-room safe. Ensuite bathrooms have flushing toilets, pressurised showers and views of their own, and hot water runs around the clock. A covered veranda adds space for slow mornings. Twin tents are available, and families can book an interconnecting family tent.
