Embalakai Authentic Camp

My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon - it was absolutely fantastic. Phoebe, Moses, Emmanuel and the team gave us such a warm welcome and made us feel so at home. They were so generous and the hospitality was fantastic. The accommodation was fantastic, and the setting was beautiful. We will be recommending this place to all of our friends and family, and would love to come back some day.

We stayed here for 4 nights during our safari and it was absolutely magical. The tent was amazing, so much more than we were anticipation. Inside the tent is comfortable and spacious. You are so close to the wildlife and laying in bed listening to them moving through the camp is so exciting! You are very safe with the Masai warriors around escorting you during the dark hours, if you need to go out. The food is always delicious, including the lunchboxes they prepare for the safaris out. They catered well for my coeliac (gluten free) diet as well. The staff at Embalakai are the biggest asset to the camp. They are all warm and friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. We are so grateful to them for making our honeymoon so special.

The service is incredible, the people are nice and the meals are delicious. The rooms make you feel like prince and princess, everything is perfectly organised to make you feel confortable. You even have the opportunity to meet and discuss with Masaïs

Super clean and spacious room! The staff here is friendly and the service provided was excellent. Also, the food provided was absolutely amazing. Feel like home during our stay here. Would definitely recommended this place if you would like to spend some nights in Serengeti!

We are a family of 4. 2 adults and 2 older teens. We stayed for 2 nights at the emd of June. My daughter and I shared a double and my husband and son shared a twin. Both were good sizes and the rooms were very clean, comfortable and well proportioned. The double was a king sized bed and the twin had 2 doubles. The bathrooms were spacious and had a generous shower stall, hand basin amd toilet. Water pressure wasn’t great but wasn’t a problem considering you’re in the middle of the Serengeti! The staff at the camp are very friendly and helpful. Honestly, they work really hard to make your stay memorable and enjoyable, nothing is too much trouble. They deserve a great tip at the wnd of your stay. We chose to do early morning safaris as that’s when the animals are active and you’re more likely to see them moving around, not just lazing around in the heat. We asked for our breakfast to be ready for 6, 30 minutes before the official breakfast and it was no problem. The chef and the team were more than happy to accommodate us. There are Masai warriors working at the camp, mostly making sure the guests are safe after dark, but also carrying luggage and welcoming guests with their dances. I can’t express enough how kind and lovely everyone is. The food was great. It’s amazing how many dishes you can make from bananas, sweet and savoury. Breakfas and dinner are served buffet style with a variety of options to suit any needs. They were very careful to check if anyone had allergies in our family that they needed to be aware of (we don’t), so I’m sure they’d be happy to support any specific diets/needs. Lunch is either a packed lunch of sandwich, side dish such as couscous or chips, drink and snack/dessert or a hot meal if you do an early game drive. The camp is not enclosed and is open to the animals - hence the need for the Masai! On our first night, a pack of hyena decided to party and little sleep was had as they fought, chased zebra, barked, clip clopped across our veranda! It was wild - a night we will remember forever! We were safe in the semi-permanent sturdy tents, but it was still exhilarating. We got more sleep the next night when it was just a herd of zebra galloping through the camp.

This camp was our favorite stay (2 nights) of our 12 day safari!! Beautiful and well equipped tents, excellent WiFi (important with a teenager!) and hands down the best staff (and meals!!) in the Serengeti!! If you want to feel the warmest, welcoming and authentic experience- you must book a few nights here! To the staff, each and every one of you made us feel like family. You looked after our every need and made an incredible trip just that much more special. We look forward to being able to stay with you again! Thank you!!!

Brilliant 3 day stay! Staff are friendly. Food was excellent. Room had Ana amazing view. Welcoming and goodbye dance appreciated! Staff always at hand to help walk us back and forth to the room in the dark. Heard zebra and giraffes at night. Would be nice to have a door in the ensure bathroom

Amazing venue, really cool experience! In the middle of the Serengeti and wild animals all around camp. The food was great for both dinner and breakfast, the water hot using different methods, the beds comfy and spacious. The staff are exceptional, friendly and professional.

We love everything about this camp. The Tom tent was amazing and very comfortable and beautifully decorated . The food was delicious! The people who works there are really courteous and kind . We feel at home . They even prepared a small ceremony with a cake for four people of our group who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Thank you! Asante sana
