Marriott International will open the first Autograph Collection safari camp in Tanzania’s Serengeti.
Mapito Safari Camp, Serengeti, Autograph Collection, expected to open in the third quarter of 2025, is set near the Fort Ikoma Gate of Serengeti National Park.
Positioned between Central Serengeti and the western migration corridor, the camp lies directly along the Great Migration route.
The camp will offer 16 tented suites, including a two-bedroom villa. Each suite will feature an outdoor deck, fire pit and retractable roof for open-air stargazing.
Plans for the camp include a spa, fitness centre, swimming pool and multiple dining options such as The Boma – a communal restaurant inspired by traditional bonfire gatherings.
Design inspiration will be drawn from the surrounding landscape and local Ikoma culture, and the camp will aim to incorporate sustainable practices that support conservation and minimise environmental impact.
Guests can anticipate a range of immersive experiences including daytime game drives, night safaris, walking safaris, hot air balloon flights, bush dining and engagement with the local Ikoma tribe.
