Embalakai Authentic Camp

What a great place to stay in the Serengeti. The tents/rooms are nicer than many hotel rooms with very soft linens and pillows and well appointed bathrooms. We had 2 tents, one with a king and one with a king and double for our kids. Being a tent, showers were a bit long as you wait for the hot water to reach you. The views from the rooms was amazing. The baboons walk by every evening to get to their perch in the trees. Once the sun goes down, you need to have an escort to get to/from the dining hall....and for good reason. One evening (see photo), there was a leopard watching us have dinner. Another evening, there was a hyena in the parking lot. You can hear the baboons, lions and other animals throughout the evenings as well. The food was great with many made to order parts like pasta in the evening and eggs in the morning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My daughter became ill and while we were having dinner, many of them stopped by to check on her to see if she needed anything. Definitely an experience you should have while on safari in the Serengeti.
