Loliondo Safari Camp

The new Loliondo Safari Camp is designed to celebrate cultures around the world. The 6 tents are shaped like Mongolian yurts and move between north and south Loliondo following the migration ensuring superb game opportunities.

The camp moves seasonally spending 6 months in southern Loliondo (Piyaya) and 6 months in northern Loliondo (Ololosokwan). Bordering Kenya’s Maasai Mara to the north and the Serengeti National Park to the west, this area also offers a great mix of resident game, and is excellent walking country with a dramatic scenery of rock kopjes and woodlands.

The camp consists of six large yurts, with a dining yurt and separate lounge/library yurt. Each guest room has its own en-suite bathroom. The yurts have been designed to be as cool as possible during the day and have wrap-around shade net windows with flaps that can be rolled up or down. There is also a traditional open ‘wheel’ in the centre of the roof (in Mongolian dwellings this is where the chimney of the fireplace would be located). This helps to keep the yurt feeling open and airy. There is a canvas ’cap’ that covers the wheel at night, or in bad weather.

The heady mix of culture, style, comfort and wilderness makes this, arguably, the most unique African camp you could stay in.
