With its secluded location, attentive service, and focus on eco-friendly practices, Woodlands Camp offers a unique opportunity to experience the Serengeti from a fresh perspective.

Location and Atmosphere

Woodlands Camp is located in the remote southern Serengeti, an area known for its rich wildlife and stunning landscapes, yet far from the more crowded northern and central regions. This pristine location offers a truly authentic safari experience, where the only sounds are those of the wind rustling through the acacia trees and the calls of wildlife echoing across the savannah. The camp is ideally situated for exploring the southern Serengeti’s game-rich plains, making it a perfect destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a deeper connection with the African wilderness.

The camp is especially well-positioned for the calving season, when vast herds of wildebeest migrate to the southern Serengeti to give birth, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This seasonal event provides guests with extraordinary opportunities to witness one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles in relative solitude, away from the crowds.

The camp’s thoughtful layout ensures privacy and tranquility, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful retreat after a day of safari adventures. The main dining and lounge area is a welcoming space where guests can relax, enjoy freshly prepared meals, and swap stories about their wildlife encounters. The campfire area is perfect for evening gatherings, where guests can unwind under the stars with a drink in hand, while listening to the sounds of the Serengeti.

Despite its remote location, Woodlands Camp offers an impressive range of amenities, including solar-powered electricity and eco-friendly waste management systems. The camp is committed to minimizing its environmental impact, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious travelers.
