Travel review: An eco-friendly escarpment at the heart of the Serengeti Great Migration Corridor

Tanzania's tourism industry continues to offer some of the best experiences in the world.

It is no wonder that the sector has, in successive years, recorded the largest number of visitors and profits in history.

Part of the reason for the stellar performance is the accommodation services offered.

In a bid to offer an unmatched experience amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Serengeti, Escarpment Luxury Lodge introduced Escarpment Serengeti Luxury Camp.

Situated in the exclusive Fort Ikoma area, this camp provides guests with an immersive experience in the heart of the Great Migration Corridor, where majestic wildlife like lions, giraffes, and elephants roam freely.

As Tanzania and the rest of the world continue to become environmentally conscious, there is an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability manifested by the lodge.

Inaugurated in early February 2024, the camp exemplifies responsible tourism and conservation efforts.

Ms Lusinda Nortje, the General Manager of the lodge, emphasizes the establishment's dedication to sustainability: "We recognize the profound responsibility that comes with establishing a property in such a remarkable destination. Sustainability is not just a choice for us; it's at the core of our values."

The camp adopts eco-friendly practices, with a significant portion of its electricity generated through solar panels, supplemented by a backup generator.

The management actively promotes recycling initiatives and has banned single-use plastics.

Moreover, construction materials, including composite decking on the verandas, are chosen to minimize environmental impact.

Designed to marry luxury with environmental consciousness, the camp features tented accommodations that mirror the opulence of a lodge.

The tents, adorned with canvas-covered wall panels, stackaway glass folding doors, and glass windows, offer a secure and luxurious retreat.

Rooms are thoughtfully furnished with king-size beds, private balconies, and full en-suite bathrooms boasting double basins and lavish bathtubs.

Plush bedding, towels, bathrobes, and modern amenities ensure a comfortable and sustainable stay.

The VIP room at Escarpment Serengeti Luxury Camp elevates luxury to new heights, offering a king-size bed, a furnished balcony with an outdoor hot tub and fireplace, indoor and outdoor showers, a desk, and a veranda.

Guests can relish stunning Serengeti sunsets from their tents or unwind at the open-air bar and bonfire, creating a magical atmosphere amidst nature.

As the Great Migration unfolds, with over 1.5 million wildebeests and numerous zebras and gazelles, Escarpment Serengeti Luxury Camp emerges as the perfect sanctuary to "Escape The World."

Ms. Nortje passionately declares, "Our lodge is not just a place to stay; it's an invitation to embark on an extraordinary adventure. We strive to offer a seamless blend of luxurious comfort and the thrill of untamed nature."
