Where the Serengeti Becomes Your Home Beneath the Canvas

Set high on a gentle hill in the heart of Central Serengeti, Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge offers an intimate retreat where the timeless romance of safari meets the comfort of refined living. From its elevated position, the endless plains unfold around you, creating a beautiful sense of space and connection with the wilderness. Here, mornings begin with the sounds of Africa and evenings arrive beneath wide open skies, making every moment feel naturally connected to the landscape.

The lodge’s spacious luxury tents are designed to bring guests closer to the spirit of the Serengeti without compromising on comfort. Raised on wooden platforms, each tent features an elegant four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom, tasteful African-inspired interiors, and a private outdoor space where you can pause and take in the surrounding wilderness. Family accommodation is also available, making Kubu Kubu an inviting choice for couples, families, and travellers seeking an intimate safari experience.

At the heart of the lodge, open and welcoming spaces create the perfect setting to slow down between adventures. Enjoy beautifully prepared meals in the restaurant, relax with a drink on the terrace, or take a refreshing swim while the Serengeti stretches into the distance. The lounge and surrounding outdoor areas provide peaceful places to share stories, watch the changing light across the plains, and simply enjoy the rare luxury of having nowhere else to be.

What makes Kubu Kubu special is the feeling it creates. This is not simply a place to sleep between game drives; it is part of the safari itself. Its Central Serengeti location places guests close to some of the region’s most rewarding wildlife areas, while experiences such as private game drives and hot air balloon safaris offer unforgettable ways to explore the wilderness. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Kubu Kubu is a beautiful choice for those who want to experience the Serengeti intimately — surrounded by nature, wrapped in comfort, and immersed in the timeless rhythm of the wild.

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

Set in the heart of Central Serengeti, Four Seasons Safari Lodge brings an extraordinary level of refinement to the African wilderness. Surrounded by the endless plains of Serengeti National Park, the lodge offers an exceptional balance between immersive safari adventure and effortless luxury. One of its most captivating features is its proximity to active wildlife watering holes, where elephants and other animals can gather throughout the day, allowing guests to experience the beauty of the wild without ever leaving the comfort of the lodge.

The accommodation is designed to make the surrounding landscape part of the experience. Elegant rooms feature private balconies overlooking the savannah or watering holes, while spacious suites add private infinity-edge plunge pools and generous living spaces. For families and guests seeking complete privacy, the residential-style villas offer expansive terraces, private pools, separate living areas, and panoramic views across the plains. Every space combines contemporary African design with thoughtful comforts, creating a peaceful sanctuary after a day spent exploring the wilderness.

Life at Four Seasons extends far beyond the luxury of your room. Spend a quiet afternoon beside the infinity pool as wildlife gathers nearby, enjoy beautifully crafted cuisine inspired by Africa and international flavours, or retreat to the Serengeti Spa for treatments inspired by the land and local traditions. Private bush dinners, wine-cellar dining, sunset experiences, and romantic poolside dinners transform ordinary moments into memories worth carrying home.

For those who want to explore deeper, the lodge offers an exceptional collection of safari experiences. Expert-led game drives, hot-air balloon safaris, guided walks with naturalists, Maasai guides and park rangers, wildlife photography, and immersive cultural experiences reveal different sides of the Serengeti. The Discovery Centre also offers an opportunity to learn more about the region’s wildlife, culture, and conservation. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Four Seasons is a remarkable choice for travellers who want the raw beauty and adventure of Africa accompanied by exceptional comfort, privacy, service, and unforgettable attention to detail.

Serengeti Explorer Camp

Set high upon the Nyaboro Hills in the south-central Serengeti, Serengeti Explorer is a contemporary luxury safari lodge where the vastness of the wilderness meets refined hospitality. Its elevated setting offers sweeping views across the endless plains, creating a remarkable sense of space, freedom, and connection with nature. Perfectly positioned for exploring the Serengeti, the lodge offers an exceptional base for experiencing the Great Migration, extraordinary wildlife, and the timeless beauty of Tanzania’s wild landscapes.

The lodge features beautifully designed Savannah Rooms and spacious Savannah Suites, created with comfort, elegance, and the surrounding wilderness in mind. Private balconies invite guests to pause and take in the scenery, while thoughtfully designed interiors, luxurious en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds, and modern amenities provide a peaceful retreat after a day of adventure. For families and groups seeking greater privacy, the Chief’s Suite offers an intimate two-bedroom sanctuary where contemporary luxury blends naturally with the spirit of safari.

Serengeti Explorer goes beyond exceptional accommodation to create a complete luxury safari experience. Guests can dine at Acacia, enjoy an intimate wine-paired dinner at Divai, or experience traditional African-inspired dining around the Boma. The 35-metre infinity pool provides a spectacular place to relax, while spa treatments, yoga, and wellness experiences offer moments of tranquillity. For a deeper connection with the wilderness, guests can explore the photographic hide, join guided bush walks accompanied by a Park Ranger, experience rhino tracking, or spend an evening beneath the stars. At Back to Eden Adventures, we see Serengeti Explorer as an ideal choice for travellers who want their Serengeti journey to combine extraordinary wildlife, sophisticated comfort, and unforgettable moments.

Serengeti Sametu Camp

Set along the peaceful banks of the Ngarenanyuki River in Central-Eastern Serengeti, Serengeti Sametu Camp offers an intimate retreat into the heart of Tanzania’s untamed wilderness. Here, the endless golden plains become your natural surroundings, and every day unfolds with the promise of extraordinary wildlife encounters. Its location provides a wonderful base for exploring the Serengeti throughout the year, while the camp offers a tranquil setting to return to after a day of discovery.

The camp’s executive suites combine the romance of safari living with the comforts of a luxury stay. Spacious interiors, private en-suite bathrooms, modern amenities, and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape create a serene sanctuary where guests can relax and reconnect with nature. Double rooms, twin rooms, and interconnecting family suites provide options for couples, friends, and families seeking a comfortable and memorable stay. A swimming pool, lounge, bar, and restaurant complete the experience, offering inviting spaces to unwind beneath the African sky.

What makes Serengeti Sametu Camp special is the way it brings guests closer to the soul of the Serengeti. The surrounding river and open plains create opportunities for remarkable wildlife viewing, while the camp’s curated safari experiences, including game drives, hot air balloon safaris, and Maasai cultural visits, invite you to discover the landscape in unforgettable ways. At Back to Eden Adventures, we see Sametu as a beautiful choice for travelers who wish to combine the thrill of the wild with the pleasure of returning to a peaceful, luxurious retreat.

Lemala Nanyukie

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Central Serengeti, Lemala Nanyukie offers a beautifully secluded retreat where luxury and wilderness exist in perfect harmony. Set among open grasslands and dramatic granite outcrops, the camp feels wonderfully removed from the outside world, yet remains ideally positioned for exploring the wildlife-rich Seronera region. From the moment you arrive, the landscape becomes part of the experience, with wide horizons, natural beauty, and the quiet rhythm of the Serengeti surrounding you.

The camp’s spacious luxury tents are thoughtfully designed to feel both elegant and wonderfully connected to nature. Each tent features a generous bedroom, comfortable living space, a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, and a private veranda overlooking the surrounding wilderness. The interiors blend natural materials, contemporary African design, and understated sophistication, creating a warm sanctuary where guests can unwind after a day of safari. For families and groups, larger accommodation options provide additional space and privacy while maintaining the intimate character of the camp.

At the centre of the experience, open-air dining and beautifully designed communal spaces invite guests to slow down and enjoy the moment. Relax beside the swimming pool, settle into the lounge with a drink, or enjoy a memorable meal inspired by fresh local ingredients. Evenings around the campfire bring a sense of classic safari romance, while the surrounding darkness reveals a spectacular African night sky.

What makes Lemala Nanyukie particularly special is its combination of seclusion, sophisticated comfort, and authentic wilderness. Days can be spent exploring Central Serengeti on expertly guided game drives, while evenings return you to a peaceful retreat far from the feeling of a busy lodge. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Nanyukie is an ideal choice for travellers who value privacy, understated luxury, and the feeling of having discovered a beautiful corner of the Serengeti all their own.

One Nature Nyaruswiga Serengeti

Set in the heart of the Central Serengeti, One Nature Nyaruswiga is an intimate collection of just fourteen ultra-luxurious safari tents, surrounded by uninterrupted views of the endless savannah. Located close to the wildlife-rich Seronera area and only a short drive from the airstrip, the lodge places guests in an exceptional position for experiencing the Serengeti while offering a secluded sanctuary of refined comfort. Here, the wilderness stretches endlessly beyond your tent, creating a profound feeling of space, privacy, and connection with nature.

The accommodation is designed for travellers who appreciate the finer details. Spacious luxury tents feature emperor-sized beds dressed in fine linens, private verandas, indoor and outdoor showers, and beautifully crafted copper bathtubs. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere, while private bars, elegant lounge areas, personal butler service, and thoughtful in-room touches create an experience that feels closer to a private residence than a traditional safari tent. For families and friends travelling together, the expansive two-bedroom luxury family tents offer separate bedrooms, private bathrooms, and a shared living space designed for unforgettable time together.

Beyond the tents, Nyaruswiga creates a world of its own. The elegant lounge and bar open toward sweeping Serengeti views, while the dining spaces bring together refined cuisine, Tanzanian flavours, fine wines, and beautifully presented meals. Guests can unwind in the heated infinity pool and jacuzzi, enjoy a private spa treatment on their veranda, or spend an evening beneath the stars at the astral observatory. Bush breakfasts, candlelit bush dinners, balloon safaris, walking safaris, cultural experiences, and expertly guided game drives add depth and emotion to every stay.

What makes One Nature Nyaruswiga truly special is its ability to make luxury feel completely at home in the wilderness. Every element is designed to create moments of stillness, discovery, and connection — from waking to endless savannah views to returning from a game drive for a quiet evening beneath an African sky. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Nyaruswiga is an exceptional choice for travellers seeking an intimate, highly refined Serengeti experience where extraordinary wildlife and sophisticated comfort exist beautifully side by side.

Incredible experience with Back to Eden Adventures As the Great Migration season kicks off in June, I'm excited to share my unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Back to Eden Adventures. Their expert guide Hassan took us on thrilling game drives, bringing us face-to-face with incredible wildlife. We savored every moment, eagerly awaiting sightings of lions and cheetahs in action. The highlight of our trip was a luxurious 2-day glamping adventure deep in the middle of forest, with impeccable service from the staff. Special thanks to Laurent and Gift and for their exceptional customer service, which truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Back to Eden Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian adventure.

7-Day Kilimanjaro Trek We recently completed the 7-day Machame trek with Back To Eden Adventures and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The entire team, from our guides to the porters, were exceptional. The itinerary was well-paced and allowed us to acclimatize properly. We enjoyed stunning views throughout the trek, and the campsites were well-chosen and offered incredible vistas.

Great safari experience! Planned a trip for my parents and another couple, and they had an amazing time! They mentioned Laurent specifically took very good care of them during the whole tour and to their particular needs whether it was the food, their medical conditions etc. I definitely recommend this tour for safari in Serengeti. Reach out to Laurent! He's so easy to get along with and communicate with so that you can plan in advance with him before your trip.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Experience An amazing experience in the Kilimanjaro! We did the Marangu Route and Back to Eden helped us with every step of the way: prior, during and after. From the logistic team to the porters and guide team, our experience in the mountain was incredible! Totally recommend them for small or large groups.
