On a safari in the nearby Serengeti National Park, you have a very good chance of seeing the 'Big 5', a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Drawings by the Maasai can still be seen on the impressive Moru Kopjes, and thousands of flamingos are at home on nearby Lake Magadi.
End an exciting day on safari with a sundowner in the lounge and experience a breathtaking sunset over the seemingly endless grasslands of the Serengeti.
The Serengeti Pioneer Camp is one of the most adventurous and unique facilities during our SkySafari (click).
