Tanzania

Chaka Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

A semi-permanent camp in the stunning wilds of the Serengeti, Chaka Camp provides an authentic and intimate bush experience.

This luxurious take on the classic safari tent camp consists of ten en suite canvas tent. Seven double tents accommodate up to two people and three family tents can house a family of four. Each tent enjoys the creature comforts of running water, bush showers, and flush toilets. Except, the luxury goes one step further by providing a wardrobe and writing desk. Chaka Camp works off-the-grid and utilizes a custom built solar system for its power. Room fabrics are handwoven African designs, and the camp’s furniture and decor were designed and built by artisans in Arusha, Tanzania. Guests can relax and take in the beauty of either the Ndutu area or Northern Serengeti on their own private, shaded verandah while enjoying their tea or coffee.

Like modern day Bedouins, the camp follows the migration of the Wildebeest. In December through March, it is located in the Ndutu area in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ndutu is home to cheetah, lion, giraffe and hundreds of bird species. From late May through October, Chaka Camp is situated in Northern Serengeti. The camp lies close to the Mara River, allowing easy access to several river crossing points in the area. During this time of year, the wildebeest migration crosses the Mara River back and forth from Tanzania to Kenya. It’s also an excellent place to spot crocodiles, hippos and large cats as they cross the river.

The camp provides many different activities from both camp sites. There are ample opportunities to see a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five or the migrating wildebeest populations on either of the morning, afternoon, or full-day game drives. For a more up close adventure, the camp offers walking safaris with an expert ranger and armed guard. Other activities include bush breakfasts and bush dinners, hot air balloon rides, private dinners under the stars, and cultural tours to local Maasai villages. From the Ndutu location, a tour to Olduvai Gorge, the home of the first discovered remains of homo-sapiens by Mary Leakey, is a must.

The dinner and lounge tent at Chaka Camp is even more impressive than the rooms. Full size couches, a bar, and dinner settings await guests after a day of game drives. The camp serves delicious chef prepared three-course meals at the end of the day with a divine soup starter. The main area also includes a bar and library, as well as a nearby pit for nightly campfires. The camp goes above and beyond the norm with special little attentions like a warm towel for tidying up after a dusty game drive and hot water bottles nestled in the bed for a cozy night sleep.
