A relative newcomer to the Serengeti safari scene, Nyikani Central is fast establishing itself as one of our favourite spots in the Serengeti. Situated in the central Serengeti, Nyikani Central manages to take advantage of the high densities of game that the area is regarded for - particularly for big cats - whilst avoiding the crowds; ensuring a perfectly balanced experience.
Nyikani Central provides accommodation in 10 en-suite tents with bucket showers, but each tent can also sleep two children staying with their parents. All tents have power points for charging camera equipment and there is a veranda at the front of the tent from where you can watch passing wildlife.
