Fodor's Expert Review Sabora Plains Tented Camp
Serengeti National Park, Mara, Tanzania
It's not often that you'll stay in a marquee-shaped tent elegantly furnished with silk curtains, antique furniture, stylish African artifacts, and a/c, but that's what you'll get at this ultra luxurious camp set among green lawns adjacent to the Great Migration route. The game-abundant terrain ranges from open plains and rocky outcrops to riverine forest and woodlands in this 350,000-acre Grumeti concession in Serengeti's western corridor. At night, glowing gas lamps transform the tents raised on polished wooden platforms into a bush fairyland, although the only winged creatures you'll see will be the night birds and the fluttering moths. For a soothing experience, have a spa treatment on your verandah as you gaze out at the never-ending plains. At night, enjoy the brilliance of the night sky before or after a superlative meal.
PROS
- wide, open spaces
- gorgeous details in the tent furnishings
- the little "guest deli" inside the rooms
CONS
- modern amenities, like a gym tent, which might deter those wanting only a bush experience
- not suited for families with children under 12
