Location and surroundings

Arukore Simba Camp is located in the central Serengeti, not far from the Seronera Valley. The region is known for its high density of wildlife; the landscape consists of wide plains and small clusters of trees. On the game-drive routes around the camp you regularly encounter wildebeest, zebras, elephants and predators. The camp itself is quiet, with direct access to the safari routes of the surrounding area. The Seronera Airstrip is 25 kilometres away.

If you would like to compare further accommodation in this region, you can find it in the overview of Central Serengeti lodges.

Rooms and facilities

You stay in one of the 14 permanently installed tents, available as single, twin, double and family rooms. Each tent stands on a wooden platform and has its own bathroom with shower, comfortable beds and a private veranda with views over the savannah. The furnishings are simple, functional and well kept, with classic safari elements. At the centre of the camp are an open dining tent and a small lounge for relaxing; the full-board meals are served in the dining tent. In the evening, there is a spot by the fire. The camp runs on solar power.

Nkoaranga Orphanage

The Nkoaranga orphanage at the foot of Mount Meru has existed since 1997; around 30 children up to the age of three live there with 12 carers. Instead of a fixed contribution, Wildfinder Safaris regularly buys supplies for the orphanage: groceries, toiletries and similar items.
