Sametu Camp takes its name from the ancient kopjes  the granite rock formations that emerge from the Serengeti like islands from a sea of grass  and it is among these geological wonders that this exclusive luxury camp makes its extraordinary home. The kopje ecosystem creates a unique and dramatic setting unlike any other in Central Serengeti. The camp's luxury tents are set discreetly within the natural landscape, each featuring generous private decks, en-suite bathrooms with soaking tubs, premium four-poster beds, and personalised butler service that anticipates needs before they are expressed. Dining at Sametu is an event kopje sunrise breakfasts, sundowner drinks at private viewpoints, and elegant dinners under the open sky with the Milky Way blazing overhead. Sametu's expert guides bring deep knowledge of the kopje ecosystem and its unique resident wildlife, including the leopards that use rocky outcrops as their preferred resting places, rock hyrax, klipspringer, and the concentrated bird life found in these exceptional micro-habitats.

"Extraordinary setting, extraordinary experience"

"We watched a leopard from our tent deck on the first morning. The kopje setting is unlike any other camp in the Serengeti. The guiding was phenomenal and the kopje breakfast was one of the greatest experiences of our lives."
