Perched on a hilltop Kiota Camp offers a birdseye view of the Seronera River Valley in the central Serengeti. Kiota means woven nests in Swahili and birds play an important part in Kiota’s design and atmosphere. Hand-painted lilac-breasted rollers decorate the bed covers and every side table holds an ornithology reference and a pair of binoculars.
With only eleven tents, the camp maintains a quiet presence within the surrounding woodlands and grasslands and is ideally placed to enjoy the stunning wildlife in and around the central Serengeti.
LOCATION
Kiota Camp is permanently located in Central Serengeti in northern Tanzania. The nearest airstrip is Seronera which is around 20 minutes’ drive from camp.

All the tents are furnished with comfortable beds, a writing desk and a digital safe, and have ensuite bathrooms with a flush toilet, double washbasins with running water and safari style bucket showers. Early morning tea and coffee is bought to your tent every morning.
The main area has separate lounge and dining areas and the camp has a library and a central charging unit with universal adaptor.
The camp offers private dining with a choice of Swahili cuisine and more familiar but equally delicious alternatives. The camp chefs are able to cater for many diets and you can choose to enjoy a picnic breakfast or lunch out in the wilds of the Serengeti. Enjoy drinks around the camp fire before and after dinner.
Kiota Camp is eco-friendly and has solar-powered electricity, recycles plastic and tin and uses organically grown local produce when available. All the furniture is designed and built in Arusha, Tanzania.
