THE TASTE RESTAURANT
You may be out on safari, but you can still dine in style. At Serengeti Tortilis Camp, we do our best to ensure that the cuisine is second-to-none. This is a tented camp, but the dining experience we provide will hopefully exceed your expectations. Our cooks are magicians, conjuring up some unexpected delights for you, even here in the wilds of Africa. You’ll marvel at Serengeti’s finest wildlife, while our team back at the camp prepare you meals to truly savour.
THE WATERHOLE BAR
We’ve called the relaxing bar at Serengeti Tortilis Camp ‘The ‘Waterhole,’ but don’t worry – you’ll not have to queue up with the animals to get yourself a refreshing drink. Being out on safari is thirsty work, but The Waterhole gives you a chance to kick-back and chill out, enjoying a beer, a gin & tonic or whatever else you fancy, discussing the fascinating animals you’ve seen today. Tomorrow will bring you some new surprises, that’s for sure. Perhaps just time for a nightcap before the sun goes down on the Serengeti?
THE LOUNGE
Sit back, sink in to a soft chair and feast your eyes on the Serengeti’s plains. The Lounge is the perfect place for some reflection, some contemplation after your adventures. ‘Getting away from it all” takes on a whole new significance when you’re out in the heart of Africa. The stresses of the world are nowhere to be found, your thoughts are yours alone. Perhaps a roaming animal might interrupt your gaze, reminding you that you’re relaxing in one of Nature’s most incredible settings.
THE FIRESIDE
As the night closes in around our camp, your African adventure becomes a different, more intense experience. We light a fire, the flames push upwards, contrasting with the vast, steadily darkening sky. Your energy levels have been restored by a satisfying bush-dinner, you’re relaxed by a couple of drinks, so now it’s time to enjoy Africa by night. We call this ‘The Fireside,’ a chance to unwind and let the conversation flow in an unsurpassed setting: enjoying Africa in a different way.
RECREATION
At Serengeti Tortilis Camp, we make memories. Whether you take an exhilarating balloon trip, high above the stunning plains, simply enjoy land-safaris to get you close to Africa’s best wildlife – or preferably do both – you’ll never forget the time you’ve spent here in the Serengeti. And at the end of the day, with African sights, scents and sounds still all around you, you’ll finish your day with the perfect ambience of a Tortilis bush dinner. It’s difficult to define the perfect end to the perfect day, but this comes pretty close.
ACTIVITIES
BALLOON SAFARI
Make your memorable Serengeti experience into an unforgettable one. Taking a balloon safari from Central Serengeti is a ‘must,’ something you’ll never regret (or forget). A gentle, eco-friendly way to enjoy the scenery and the wildlife, gazing in awe at the wonders of the ‘endless plains.’ If there is one place on Earth to enjoy a balloon trip – for many, an experience of a lifetime – then this is it. An extraordinary highlight for many, not to be missed by anyone.
BUSH DINNER
Dining outdoors will never seem the same again once you’ve enjoyed a bush dinner at Serengeti Tortilis Camp. A lavishly set table, atmospherically lit, and placed outside: there can be no better way of dining so close to nature. Our team will bring you carefully prepared dinners which embrace the best local food available. All you have to do is enjoy it. And in the stunning settings of Serengeti Tortilis Camp, that’s very easy to do.
