Detailed Reviews
This is a “glamping” type safari camp/lodge experience. My wife & I were very impressed with the amenities and service. Our tent/room faced the Serengeti with plenty of wild animals roaming and had a beautiful view of sunrise and moonrise. The bed was very comfortable and there was running (hot) water and a fully functional toilet within each quarters. Meals were much higher-end than we would expect and staff were all very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be recommending. Africa Safari - Serengeti Ikoma to friends interested in a Safari experience.

We had Satima as our server for our meal after a long day and he made us feel so welcome. We were very well taken care of and he even made sure we were all full by getting one of our party an extra helping of the main course. The kitchen staff was very accommodating by making a hot sauce from scratch since we prefer spicy foods. For the lodge staff themselves we felt very welcomed by a washcloth upon arrival to get rid of all the dust from our day. The WiFi was more reliable than other lodges we visited on our safari which was great since there are so many photos you feel you need to share! I would definitely recommend staying here while on safari!

I really can recommend this place. Everything was perfectly organized and although you are staying right in the wilderness you feel safe because everything is protected. The melas are very nice and especially the stuff ist super super friendly and caring. You don’t feel you are staying in a tent, you it’s more like a little house for yourself. Everything is tided up very nicely. A highlight is that you can sit on your own terrace at night and enjoy the view of the Milky Way.

We stayed for 3 nights and received excellent customer service from all the team , especially Satima who looked after us at the restaurant every day where the breakfasts and evening meals were amazing. The lunches that we took on the safari were also great. Alex was also amazingly helpful and welcoming when we returned to the camp. It was my birthday on our second night and all the team danced around the table with my cake and sang to me. Their enthusiasm and fun were infectious and made for a very special night.
The accommodation was comfortable and pristine and and it was a joy to sit outside our tent , drinking a glass of wine and staring at the giraffes as they walked past. We will never forget it. Highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone. We can't wait to return.

Very pleasant stay with really friendly staff. Clean accommodation near Serengeti park. Magnificent view, good beds, no insects or other things you don’t want to see. Shower is hot. Food is tasteful and everything is hygienic. Cold drinks served with a smile by Satima! Can recommend!

We stayed for 2 nights and got a free upgrade to the luxury tents that have their own shower. The rooms are very nice, clean and spacious and the porch offers a beautiful view of the surrounding nature and the animals that can roam the premises freely. Staff was extraordinarily friendly and attentive. Everyone on the team made our stay so relaxing.
We booked lunch boxes for our self-drive safari and also had dinner in the restaurant. The food was very delicious and we were always able to order a Vegetarian option.

Another beautiful lodge from Africa Safari chain! The lodge itself is located just a minute from the Serengeti National Park gate and from luxurious tents and from the restaurant you can overlook Serengeti itself! Everything is perfect from the very first moment! But what makes this place exceptional are local people and staff! They will treat you as family member and you will bring unforgettable memories at your home! It is very difficult to describe this place by words! You must feel it and see it! Thank you so much!! Martin

This is the fourth Safari Africa location we’ve stayed in as part of our 6 friend Safari. The location, staff and food has been on the same level as the other three places.
The location is amazing, we have been able to see giraffes and elephants from the front of our accommodation. The only negative point I would have is the actual accommodation could do with modernisation too bring it to the same level as the others we’ve stopped at. That said, it would not stop me returning as the location alone is breathtaking!!

We, a group of 5, stayed 2 nights at the Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma lodge and we highly recommended this place. First we got greeted warmly by the staff with hot towels and some tea. We got a lot of help bringing our luggage into our rooms, which we found out to be upgraded to higher ones for no additional cost at all.
This, the dreamlike location and the very nice staff (Satima deserves a special mention here, as he was one of the most kind and helpful people I met during my Africa vacation) made our stay here a 5/5.
