Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Turner Springs (Central Serengeti)

Ole Serai Luxury Camp at Turner Springs, just about 17 km from the central Seronera Airstrip, is a true gem in the heart of the Serengeti. Its spectacular yet pleasantly remote location boasts year-round wildlife. And there's a good reason for that: the camp is nestled in a lagoon-like landscape, surrounded on three sides by natural water catchments. Imagine animals passing right by your camp to drink! The large acacia trees sparsely covering the camp not only create a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere but also provide natural shade, keeping the tents pleasantly cool even during the hot midday hours. A perfect place for intense wildlife viewing and pure relaxation.

Safari Experiences

The central Serengeti is renowned for its excellent year-round wildlife viewing opportunities:

  • Wildlife Viewing at Camp: Due to the waterholes right at the camp, you can often observe animals even between game drives.
  • Great Migration (seasonal): Although the main migration routes vary, the herds often pass through or reside in the central Serengeti, especially during the calving season (January/February) or when they disperse across the plains.
