Olduvai Ndogo Safari Camp

Olduvai Ndogo is a small and rustic safari camp located in the heart of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This charming and intimate camp offers an authentic and immersive safari experience, where guests can connect with nature and disconnect from the stresses of modern life.

“Ndogo” means “small” in Swahili – Olduvai’s other sister camp is located on the Kiloki-Kopjes plateau and provides a beautiful view of the Serengeti grasslands. Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras graze straight in front of the camp during the migration.

The main camp is around one kilometer away from Olduvai Ndogo. Small Masai villages are located midway between the two camps, and visitors are welcome to visit and learn more about their traditional way of life.
Set around a conspicuous granite kopje in the short grass plains of northern Tanzania’s Serengeti Southcentral region, Olduvai Ndogo is a small extension of the famed Olduvai Camp, offering guest accommodation in 8 tented suites and access to a broad choice of activities.
