The service, location and feel of this tented camp are superb. Upon arrival after a long and dusty ride, we were welcomed by friendly staff with warm towels to wipe away the grime. We were accompanied upstairs to a bar/lounge area and the panorama that greeted us was stunning. We spent a good amount of our time in this area, cold drinks in hand, taking in the expansive Serengeti plains that stretched out below.

The very personable manager of Pioneer Camp, Rodgers, and the Elewana representative, Charl, were both superb and really know how to treat guests. I spent much of my camp time conversing with Charl and his love and enthusiasm for the animals in the Serengeti was infectious. Thank you, Charl, for making this part of our African adventure even more memorable.

Thank you for your great review, we appreciate your excellent feedback. We have an opportunity to blow our guests away within the first 5 minutes of arriving, as the view from our lounge is the cherry on the cake! We agree, it's a magnificent spot and you could spend hours just admiring the vastness of the Serengeti. The longer you admire the view, the more animals you see and the scene changes with the light of the day.

I will pass on your feedback to the team at Pioneer Camp, we are so happy you had an enjoyable stay with us and look forward to your next Serengeti adventure.

My family and I stayed at Elewana's Serengeti Camp and it was honestly a magical experience! The level of attention to detail and care the Elewana staff has for its customers goes beyond any expectations. The manager along with the staff at the Serengeti camp always went above and beyond – from sunrise breakfast with a view, to moonlight candle dinners – to create the most memorable moments for us. The staff is incredibly friendly and well trained, better than any upscale/high-end hotel in any world-renowned city. Besides the magical game drives, and beautifully styled rooms which provided us with the best sleep in our entire trip, Elewana's location is at the heart of Serengeti and allows you to experience the most of your safari excursion. The level of service and quality of experience they are able to provide for their guests is exceptional in every way, and leaves you wondering how they are able to do this in the middle of the savanna. Congratulations to everyone at Elewana's Serengeti camp, you've given my family and I unforgettable memories!

Thank you for a terrific review. It was a pleasure hosting your family at Pioneer Camp. We certainly thrive on creating memories for our guests. The breakfast on the rock and the candlelit dinner under the stars is a great experience, and I'm glad your family enjoyed it. Our staff are true gems and take pride in their jobs and ensure that every guest gets a unique experience.

A comfortable bed is a must on safari, especially when we're waking you up so early to enjoy everything that the Serengeti has to offer! We look forward to having you back in Tanzania and/or Kenya in the not too distant future.

My friends and I stayed at Serengeti Pioneer Camp as part of an amazing trip to South and East Africa planned by AMA Waterways. As far as a safari experience goes, this place was the real deal! We will never forget our days in the Serengeti and the animals we saw. We loved our tented accommodations with views that went on for miles. The staff was outstanding and made us feel pampered, special and safe at all times. Of special note was the food. Of the seven high end hotel properties during this whole trip, Pioneer Camp had our favorite food. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Thank you for your valued feedback; we are delighted that you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Pioneer Camp. The Serengeti never disappoints and the game viewing is truly exceptional. The Pioneer team pride themselves in making every guest's stay special and unforgettable. We agree, Joseph and his team in the kitchen are miracle workers, cooking out of a tent in the middle of the Serengeti he manages to pull off amazing cuisine. We look forward to welcoming you and your friends back to the Serengeti!

You can not get a better view of the valley than this spot. The rooms are wonderfully appointed and private. The food and staff are great. Wonderful for couples, not oriented towards community but staff takes care of every detail. I was a single traveler and they couldn't have treated me better.

Thank you for taking the time to review us on TripAdvisor. There are very few visitors that come to Pioneer Camp that aren't blown away by the endless vistas. We do individual dining at Pioneer Camp due to our guests having different schedules throughout the day. We do often have solo travellers though and some choose to join other guests for meals and some prefer to have dinner alone. Either way, the Pioneer team is always on hand to look after all guests. I will pass on your compliments to the team.
