Aurari Camp

Aurari Camp

Serengeti

Enticingly close to the Mara River where the wildebeest herds make their annual journey in search of greener pasture, Aurari Camp offers a sanctuary amid the wilds of the Serengeti. It’s just a short 45-minute flight from Arusha to Kogatende airstrip where the camp staff will meet you from your chartered light aircraft flight and drive you to the camp.

The six spacious tents have a total indoor living area of 50 square metres, with a spacious bedroom in the centre, a lounge area wing and a bathroom wing, plus an outdoor private veranda. Each has a distinctive African flavour to the interior. They have ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, en-suite bathroom and, being mindful of the environment, there is no swimming pool or baths but instead you can enjoy wonderful rain showers with water heated by solar power from the Tanzanian sunshine. You can even see the sunrise from the comfort of your bed! Your day is a blend of relaxation and excitement, with distinct experiences designed to celebrate the different stages of the day:

- Morning: from the privacy of your own rooms, watch the magnificent sunrise, before indulging in a scrumptious breakfast – just the way you like it!
- Daytime: Safari your style with your private vehicle and guide. Choose a game drive, birdwatching, walking safari, bush meals, or balloon safari!
- Sundown: A magical time in the bush, and after a hot shower and some rest, some nibbles, snacks and the company of your fellow camp guests.
- Night time: Enjoy dinner under the African stars, accompanied by the sounds of campfire, with delicious food and wine, before turning into your luxurious tented suite and being serenaded to sleep by the sounds of the night time occupants of the Serengeti.

With a northerly aspect towards the Mara River in Northern Serengeti and neighbouring Maasai Mara, the views are fabulous. Perfect as a base for Great Migration (July – October), safaris or a retreat away from it all, the camp offers exceptional hospitality in the heart of the Serengeti.

The camp is closed for the month of April.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
