The lodge is perfectly situated in an area chocablock with game. Within 5 mins of leaving the camp we usually stopped to see baby hyena or other such game. The camp itself is pioneer themed, and the tents are decorated as such- a really nice touch. The food is absolutely divine- chef Joseph is a miracle worker, making better food in a tent in the Serengeti than you can buy in central London! The service is unbelievable, everyone is so friendly and every effort imaginable is made to make sure that every minute of your stay is unbelievable. Our butler, Juma, deserves special mention for being such an asset to the hotel.

Thank you for your great review! The game viewing is truly special around Pioneer Camp and we are proud to have some of the best guides to help you find them. The hyenas in the den down the road are doing well, and keep our guests thoroughly entertained.

We're delighted that you enjoyed your tent and Joseph's food, he truly is a miracle worker and his passion reflects in the excellent dishes he delivers. Juma is a superstar and I'm glad that he took great care of you.

We hope to welcome you back to Pioneer Camp in the future.

Warm regards

Serengeti Pioneer Camp was our favorite of all the camps we stayed in during our safari. The camp has the feel of something from the 30's or 40's but with every luxury amenity a person could want. King size bed, writing desk, full en-suite bathroom with solar shower. The staff was outstanding. The GM, Rodgers and his assistant Charles were superb hosts. Dining was elegant and the food was the best we had in the Serengeti. The chef made a birthday cake for me and the entire staff came out singing & dancing in celebration. Great service, views and accomodations. Thank you Serengeti Pioneer Camp, we hope to visit you again!

The service, location and feel of this tented camp are superb. Upon arrival after a long and dusty ride, we were welcomed by friendly staff with warm towels to wipe away the grime. We were accompanied upstairs to a bar/lounge area and the panorama that greeted us was stunning. We spent a good amount of our time in this area, cold drinks in hand, taking in the expansive Serengeti plains that stretched out below.

The very personable manager of Pioneer Camp, Rodgers, and the Elewana representative, Charl, were both superb and really know how to treat guests. I spent much of my camp time conversing with Charl and his love and enthusiasm for the animals in the Serengeti was infectious. Thank you, Charl, for making this part of our African adventure even more memorable.

Thank you for your great review, we appreciate your excellent feedback. We have an opportunity to blow our guests away within the first 5 minutes of arriving, as the view from our lounge is the cherry on the cake! We agree, it's a magnificent spot and you could spend hours just admiring the vastness of the Serengeti. The longer you admire the view, the more animals you see and the scene changes with the light of the day.

I will pass on your feedback to the team at Pioneer Camp, we are so happy you had an enjoyable stay with us and look forward to your next Serengeti adventure.

My family and I stayed at Elewana's Serengeti Camp and it was honestly a magical experience! The level of attention to detail and care the Elewana staff has for its customers goes beyond any expectations. The manager along with the staff at the Serengeti camp always went above and beyond – from sunrise breakfast with a view, to moonlight candle dinners – to create the most memorable moments for us. The staff is incredibly friendly and well trained, better than any upscale/high-end hotel in any world-renowned city. Besides the magical game drives, and beautifully styled rooms which provided us with the best sleep in our entire trip, Elewana's location is at the heart of Serengeti and allows you to experience the most of your safari excursion. The level of service and quality of experience they are able to provide for their guests is exceptional in every way, and leaves you wondering how they are able to do this in the middle of the savanna. Congratulations to everyone at Elewana's Serengeti camp, you've given my family and I unforgettable memories!

Thank you for a terrific review. It was a pleasure hosting your family at Pioneer Camp. We certainly thrive on creating memories for our guests. The breakfast on the rock and the candlelit dinner under the stars is a great experience, and I'm glad your family enjoyed it. Our staff are true gems and take pride in their jobs and ensure that every guest gets a unique experience.

A comfortable bed is a must on safari, especially when we're waking you up so early to enjoy everything that the Serengeti has to offer! We look forward to having you back in Tanzania and/or Kenya in the not too distant future.

My friends and I stayed at Serengeti Pioneer Camp as part of an amazing trip to South and East Africa planned by AMA Waterways. As far as a safari experience goes, this place was the real deal! We will never forget our days in the Serengeti and the animals we saw. We loved our tented accommodations with views that went on for miles. The staff was outstanding and made us feel pampered, special and safe at all times. Of special note was the food. Of the seven high end hotel properties during this whole trip, Pioneer Camp had our favorite food. We would definitely stay here again!!!
