Ready to witness the Great Migration up close? Let’s dive into what makes this camp a must-stay on your next Tanzanian odyssey.

Tukaone Mwaloni Camp’s Prime Location

Tukaone Serengeti Mwaloni Camp is strategically perched in the Turner Area of Central Serengeti, just 13 kilometers from Seronera Airstrip. Surrounded by lush acacia woodlands, rolling open plains, and gentle hills, the camp sits against the life-giving Turner Springs—a permanent water source that draws elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and hippos like a magnet.

This prime location isn’t just breathtakingly scenic—it’s a true safari superpower. Nestled in the Turner Area of the central Serengeti (near the renowned Seronera region), Tukaone Mwaloni Camp delivers exceptional year-round game viewing. Guests enjoy frequent sightings of the Big Cats: majestic lions, lightning-fast cheetahs, and elusive leopards stalking across the vast plains.

During shoulder seasons, it transforms into a vital corridor for the Great Migration, as thundering herds of wildebeest and zebras sweep through the central Serengeti.

Birdwatchers will delight in the diverse avian life flitting among the acacias, from colorful bee-eaters to soaring eagles. At Safari Desire, we handpick such locations to ensure your safari days are filled with non-stop action and serene evenings under starlit skies.

An inviting interior seating area with chairs or a bench offers a quiet nook for journaling or stargazing plans.
