"This trip to the Serengeti was truly a bucket-list experience, the kind that creates core memories and this luxury camp made it even more special than I could have imagined.I traveled with my kids, and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The camp itself is spotless, superbly maintained, and incredibly comfortable. One detail that really stood out was the hot water bottle tucked into the sheets at night ,such a thoughtful touch that made the evenings cozy and unforgettable.
But the true gems of this camp are the people. Every single staff member was exceptional, from the talented chef to the Maasai tribesmen who safely escorted us to our tent at night. A very special mention goes to Paolo and Agnes, my kids absolutely adored them and couldn’t get enough of their company. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine care made our stay magical.
My only regret is that we stayed just two nights ,it was nowhere near enough.
I give this camp 5 stars without hesitation, and for the staff… 1,000 stars ⭐️. This is a place that stays with you long after you leave."
"Excellent stay. Mosses and the entire Melia Serengeti staff were nice, friendly, accommodating and warm. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt like home during our stay. Would recommend staying here. :)"
"We truly had one of our best travel experiences ever.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with singing and dancing, which immediately made us feel special. The entire staff was incredibly friendly—more like family than hotel staff. The location itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Serengeti.
The resort facilities are top-notch. The tents are beautifully decorated and furnished, offering comfort while blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. We had amazing close encounters with zebras just outside our tents, and at night, we could hear lions roaring nearby—an unforgettable and thrilling experience.
Ommairi, the manager, was outstanding and ensured everything ran smoothly. Our safari guide, Steven, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and a true expert in wildlife. His open safari vehicle was especially perfect for photography, giving us clear, unobstructed views.
We were sent off with more singing and dancing, which was a lovely and emotional farewell.
The only thing we would recommend adding is a small air heater for the very cold nights and early mornings in July. Aside from that, everything was truly exceptional."
