Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Turner Springs

Located in the heart of central Serengeti, the Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Turner Springs is a tented camp boasting luxury design and decor, outstanding service, intimate camp facilities, and simply exceptional safari experiences. The main tent is large with a luxurious sitting area, large, leather sofas offering comfortable seating on the one side, and an elegant dining area set up on the other side. Meals are created by talented chefs, and local flavors and international dishes are served to guests either inside or on an outside deck. There is a small bar set up inside the main tent.

The campgrounds are shaded by large Acacia trees, and beautiful stone walkways lead guests from the main tented area to the luxury tented accommodation.
