Serengeti Sametu Camp

The place is beautiful I The food is great (especially the soups) the room was beyond amazing. The absolute best thing about my stay was the 100% the staff gave us their friendless their professionalism. Please make sure you let your staff know how amazing they are.

Sametu: The Karibu permanent camp in the heart of the Serengeti. The warm and friendly staff are there to meet you upon arrival. One person is assigned as your personal assistant during your stay ensuring you have a comfortable time. This was our fourth visit to the camp and it remains one of our favorites. For those with limited mobility and for everyone after the sun goes down there is a buggy which will transport you from the main area to your cabin and back. One only needs to pick up the phone. The food is very good with a varied menu each meal to select from Wildlife can be seen there at any time. A giraffe was by the pool while a cheetah out front of the main building attracted eveyone’s attention. A wide range of birds were seen on the property.

Wow, I cannot say enough about our experience! From the moment our guide, Barrick, picked us up from the airstrip until the day he dropped us off, we were treated like VIPs. I loved the cup of coffee he treated us to as soon as we landed! Davide was our assigned butler and he did everything possible to ensure our stay was comfortable. He had coffee waiting for us every morning and worked with the chef on alternate meals when I had trouble adjusting to the food (not the camp’s issue, this was 100% my issue). Jonas, the general manager, was so kind and frequently checked in to ensure our stay was going well. Barrick went above and beyond as our private guide, and we managed to see 4 of the big 5. Because of his knowledge, he was able to get us pretty close to so many animals, including a pride of lions, cheetahs and the leopard. It’s so clear he loves his job and takes his client’s experience seriously. The rooms are so nice - very spacious with private outdoor space. Admittedly the first night it was a bit unsettling to hear the hyenas right outside our tent but that is part of the experience. We never felt unsafe and we appreciated the attention to our safety. We even had a pair of lions visiting one night during supper! Thank you Jonas, Davide, Barrick and the entire team for truly making our Serengeti safari a dream experience!

Had an amazing trip to the Serengeti with my family. Our resort, the Sametu Camp by Karina Camos & Lodges was great. Thank you especially to our host Ramadhan, but also to the rest of the staff. The accommodations were great and the food excellent. I would recommend them to anyone visiting Tanazania!

This place is amazing. The service is impeccable, the place is gorgeous, and the restaurant serves amazing food. This is truly a luxury experience. On top of all that, it's very close to lots of wildlife. There was a leopard when we first arrived in a nearby tree, Cape Buffalo near the camp one night, and a 15min drive to lions.

I had a fantastic time at Sametu Camp in Central Serengeti. My “room” was fantastic, location was great, food was great, service was great and all the staff made sure my stay was as pleasant as possible. There is basically no phone reception at all in the area so the free wifi was a saviour to keep in contact with family and friends. Well done everyone.
