Location & Landscape
The camp is located in south-central Serengeti National Park, home to many species and diverse vegetation. The Serengeti’s landscape includes:
- Savanna: Divided into grasslands, marshes, woodlands, and kopjes.
- Seasonal Changes: During the dry season, waterholes dry up, and the grass turns golden yellow. Wildebeests begin their northward migration, while Grant’s gazelles, warthogs, and ostriches remain behind to feed on the dry grasses.
- Grass Types: Short Grass Plains: Found around Ngorongoro and extending into the Serengeti. Intermediate Grass Plains: Located west and north of the short grass plains, forming a crest shape. Long Grass Plains: Found in the northern Serengeti and Seronera, where male lions hide and rest during the day.
- Woodlands and Forests: Woodlands, while not as dense as forests, are susceptible to bushfires. Riverine forests are rare due to large rivers drying up under the intense heat.
At Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp, there’s no true ending to the adventure. Don’t worry about where the story stops—come and witness nature in all its glory.
