Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
This is the entry to Serengeti National Park.
Here you pay the outrages fees:
Foreign car net weight (empty) 2‘000 - 3‘000kg (so most Land Cruiser or Land Rover) is per day (12hours) US$150, Tanzania license plate only about US$10. Foreign adult US$70, child up to 15yrs US$20.
We arrived 17h and asked if it is ok to stay outside the park, but at the gate. They agreed and were friendly and allowed us to choose any place. We chose where there are 3 tables with benches and umbrellas on a grassy spot some 60m from the office, which was great. Wash room nearby.
At sunset the ranger came to tell us to stay in the car at night as regularly lions walk around.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
We arrived here at 5pm hoping to camp but they said no way, the man on the gate did however call a friend of his who lives 10km from the gate and let us camp there, beautiful views, very basic but with a pit loo, worked great for us and a cool experience camping with a roof tent in a Masai farm garden. There was no charge but a donation was expected. We felt safe and the local kids thoroughly enjoyed watching us set up camp and cook dinner! The gate ranger is called Elibariki a is nice guy.
