Aurari Camp

Great stay at Aurari tented camp, about 45 minutes from the river. Witnessed absolute magic at Mara River in Northern Serengeti. Saw multiple wildebeest crossings across the river on Aug 20 and 21. From Kenya back to Tanzania. Early for this time of year. Fantastic spacious luxury tented accommodation… 5 Star. Local Kuria tribesmen guard the tents at night and also escort you from your tent to the food tent for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also zip up our tents at night to make sure nothing gets in. Maria and Nelson who attended our tables, did a great job of communicating our food requirements to the Chef, who was great in accommodating our needs. The entire team did a nice song and dance show for us the last night we were there. Vegetarian food is not an issue at all the lodges and camps. The Chef was extremely flexible and worked with us to provide great vegetarian food. Be prepared for rugged terrain (bouncy) with a lot of dust. Have a lot of patience and rise up early and be prompt with your multiple game drives. Request lodges to pack lunch daily for you; this way you maximize your time spent on watching the crossings or going on game drives. Great country - Tanzania and great people. Loved every day of our stay.

Aurari Camp is in a remote area but when we arrived, wow! The staff and service was outstanding and our tents were beautiful. Found out that they renovated in March 25. So we got lucky to have the chance to enjoy this wonderful place.

We had the most incredible experience at Aurari Camp. Sarah and all of the staff were so attentive and kind. The food was delicious at every meal, including the boxed lunches they sent on our game drives. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that laundry was included. The tents are so beautiful. They are the incredibly spacious and the bathrooms are gorgeous. Was so nice to come back to a hot shower after a dusty day on safari. We loved every minute of our stay. I didn’t want to leave.

We spent 2 nights at the Aurari Camp. And it was the experience of a lifetime. The luxury tents as well as the friendly atmosphere and amazing food were just breathtaking. We spent 2 days on game drive and had the great guide Godwin who managed to make the whole experience even more memorable. We saw four out of five Big Five and the Mara river crossing of hundreds of wildebeest and zebras. And this in only two days. Thanks to everyone at Aurari Camp!

Unbelievable!!. The rooms were gorgeous, the staff incredible and the food outstanding. A real gem. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Could not have been any better- from staff to food. Best Ever- 5 star experience.

From the time we arrived at Aurori camp we knew it was special. The staff greeted us upon arrival and our hostess, Sara, made us feel right at home. She and the staff spoiled us for 3 nights and no request was too big. The food at Aurori was out of this world. We had 3 and 4 course meals for lunch and dinner and the breakfasts were wonderful. The chef and her assistant were outstanding! There are only 4 tents on the property and our group resided in 3 of them. The tents were beautiful, constructed on huge wooden platforms. We had a sitting area, king bed area with a beautiful writing desk and complete bathroom with double sinks and shower. We also had a back deck as well as a front deck. The zebras loved hanging out with us. If dark, we were told to flash a blinking light to be escorted back and forth to our tents. The wonderful staff was always close by and appeared out of nowhere when we flashed our flash lights. Finally, our guide was Steven. I can’t begin to say all the good things about him. He was professional, knowledgeable and wanted us to see as many animals as we could. In fact, we saw all of the big five but the rhinos. We saw cheetahs and leopards and, the highlight of our trip was when we saw the great migration of the wildebeest! Steven waited patiently one morning on a hill overlooking the Mara River. Suddenly, the wildebeest formed in a single line and began their run to cross. Steven quickly pulled up to the river’s banks and we saw thousands of wildebeest cross. It was the most exciting and amazing spectacle. He never let us down! I would definitely go back to Aurori Camp in the future.
