Bologonya Under Canvas Tented Camp

If your visit to Bologonya Under Canvas Tented Camp is at either the beginning or end of your safari, then it is possible to reach it by light aircraft. The nearest airstrip is Kogatende, which has daily flight connections with Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ruaha, and Selous (for further safaris in Tanzania), Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi (in Kenya, for international arrivals and departures) and with Kigali (for visiting gorillas in Rwanda.)

Between December and March, Bologonya Under Canvas Tented Camp will be located in the southern plains before relocating to the Western Corridor between June and July. Between August and November, the camp is in the north. Each location is selected to let guests follow the Great Migration according to the season.

The camp rate includes accommodation, three daily meals, tea, coffee, drinking water, soft drinks, and house wine.

Tents include the following: comfortable bed, en-suite bathrooms with ‘safari-style’ shower and toilet, hot water, solar power, Wi-fi, mineral water, and a front porch area. Room service is available.

Guests can select from double, twin, or family tents.

The following activities/excursions can be arranged at an extra charge. Please note that not all activities are available in all three of the camp’s locations: Jeep safari, sundowners, sunrise breakfast, balloon safari (South location only), visit the Moru and Maasai Kopjes (West location only), Mara River (North location only), Lake Ndutu (South location only), cultural walks/visits to a Maasai Village.

Yes, there is a campfire area where the fire is lit in the evenings.

The Bolongonya sector is east of the Mara, in the extreme northern part of the Serengeti. The migrating herds usually pass through rather than lingering here, but there is a good population of resident animals. It is also possible to visit the Mara area from here, too.

Certainly, the camp welcomes children of all ages.

Electricity is provided by solar power.

Guests are always advised to drink bottled water at the camp and use the water in the taps for showers and washing. Use bottled water for cleaning your teeth, too. Bottled water is available from the bar and is included in the rate.

A ‘tipping box’ is available if you want to give a gratuity and any tips received are then shared amongst the camp staff. We advise that you make your contribution at the time of your check-out. Tips can be made in Tanzanian Shillings, US Dollars, Euros, or Pound Sterling.
