Ewanjan tented camp is set in a secluded part of the game-rich Seronera Valley in Central Serengeti. This gives chance to you to enjoy the wildlife transition zone between the southern grasslands and the northern woodlands renowned for its year-round game viewing due to its abundance of water in the many rivers, as well as for its large populations of resident big cats.
Join the camp between April and June, and again between November and January, when the area is crossed by the annual wildebeest migration, which provides always thrilling wildlife drama. The camp will be at its peak during these seasons since many travelers join this wildlife drama.
The camp is positioned right at the end of a blind valley, so other vehicles will not interrupt your view across the plains during the day, and in the evening, you can enjoy uninterrupted sunsets with no electric lights in sight. This gives you more chances of viewing the entire plain.
The camp offers 14 en-suite tents which are spacious and comfortable having an outside deck offering beautiful views over the area. Each tent is fitted with two queen-size beds with warm duvets, a flush toilet, large safari-style shower, wooden storage cabinets and flooring, 24-hour solar lighting and outside loungers from which to enjoy early morning teas and coffees and refreshing afternoon gin and tonics.
