 Serengeti Explorer by Elewana 

Wild soul, effortless style

A bold, contemporary escape set high above the Serengeti’s endless, game-rich plains.

Serengeti Explorer rewrites the rulebook for safari stays. High on the Nyaboro Hills, it pairs sweeping Serengeti views with sleek, design-forward spaces that feel more private retreat than traditional lodge. This is where you slow the pace, stretch out in comfort, and experience the bush with fresh eyes. Stylish without trying too hard, it is perfect for those who like their adventures wild, but their downtime effortless and elegant.

Why we love Serengeti Explorer by Elewana

  • Watch elephants, lions, and plains game from the only underground photographic hide in the Serengeti, set beside a year-round waterhole.

  • Unwind in oversized suites with private balconies, walk-in rain showers, generous lounge spaces, and plenty of charging points for all your kit.

  • Savour locally sourced dishes at a laid-back restaurant, lively barbecue evenings under the stars, and private wine tastings in a cosy cellar.

  • Reset with sunrise yoga on the hilltop deck, join Maasai-led bush walks, or book a deep-tissue massage overlooking the plains.

The Serengeti
Set in the Nyaboro Hills right at the heart of the vast Serengeti National Park
It is a 1-hour light aircraft flight from Arusha Airport to Seronera airstrip, followed by a 45-minute drive.

Facilities

  • Restaurants & bars
  • Spas & wellness
  • Activities

Dining is relaxed yet refined, designed to suit whatever pace your day demands. Expect long, easygoing lunches overlooking the plains, intimate wine-paired dinners in tucked-away spaces, and open-air evenings with grilled meats and local specialities. Every meal champions fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the setting — whether under canvas or under the stars — feels as much a part of the experience as the food itself.

Acacia Restaurant
Bright, open, and quietly stylish, this is where breakfasts, lunches, and sociable dinners unfold against endless Serengeti views.

Boma Restaurant
As the sun sinks, this open-air gathering place comes alive with crackling fires, generous feasts, and a sense of occasion.

Divai Wine Cellar
Tucked away and softly lit, this intimate hideout is perfect for slow dinners, rare bottles, and long conversations.

Kisimani Pool Bar
With wide skies overhead and the plains stretched below, this relaxed poolside bar serves chilled drinks and easygoing style.

Agama Terrace Bar
Elevated and refined, the open terrace offers crafted cocktails, sweeping views, and the perfect spot to toast the Serengeti.

Kahawa Coffee Bar
A welcoming retreat for coffees, fresh pastries, and quiet moments before the day’s next adventure begins.

Wellness is woven naturally into each day. Begin with sunrise yoga on an open-air deck, watching the light shift across the grasslands. After a morning on safari, cool off in the 35-metre infinity pool or fit in a session at the gym, fully equipped for cardio and strength. Signature treatments, like the Big 5 Journey, blend exfoliation, massage, and crystal therapy.

The Serengeti here is something you ease into at your own pace. You might join a bush walk with Maasai guides*, spotting tracks in the dust and learning how to read the land. You could spend time in the underground hide, camera ready, as wildlife gathers just metres away. If you want to sharpen your photography, the relaxed creative studio is open to all, whether you use a phone or serious kit. As evening draws in, you might head to the stargazing deck to chart constellations, or set off on a dawn or dusk game drive when the plains are most alive.
