Matawi Camp occupies a peaceful corner of Central Serengeti, providing an affordable yet genuinely rewarding safari base for travellers eager to experience the park's famous resident wildlife. The camp's straightforward, comfortable accommodation and attentive staff create the ideal environment for an immersive bush experience without distraction.
Guests at Matawi enjoy full-board dining, experienced guide-led game drives, and the quiet pleasure of evenings in a bush setting far removed from the rush of daily life. The natural surroundings attract a remarkable diversity of wildlife — giraffe, zebra, impala, and the resident lion prides of Central Serengeti frequently appear within sight of camp.
For families, couples, and adventurous solo travellers alike, Matawi delivers the essential Serengeti experience: big skies, bigger wildlife encounters, and memories that endure long after the journey home.
