Asilia Dunia Camp

Style

Game changer

Setting

Major migration corridor

A pioneer on the wild frontier, refined safari stay Asilia Dunia Camp is a comfort-bringing basecamp in Serengeti that’s run entirely by women. Its valley setting sees herds in transit on the Great Migration; black rhino and big cat spotting are tipped around Moru Kopjes, and the Seronera River’s hunting grounds deliver game viewing year-round. Back at camp, top-notch tented suites, farm-to-fork dining and skilled friendly staff are guaranteed sightings.

Once you’ve booked your safari stays, the Asilia team will be in touch within 48 hours, on business days, to help arrange travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Our Favourite Rooms

Asilia Dunia Camp’s tented suites are a masterclass in the classic safari set-up: tiered-timber decks frame each raised, canvas-sided suite, with savannah views that roll to the horizon from both your net-canopied bed indoors and the alfresco lounge area. This Seronera stay also has one tented suite for families, incorporating a second bedroom and bathroom for little Smiths.

Packing Tips

Warm layers to take the edge off morning hot-air balloon safaris over the plains, as well as nights seated around the fire beneath a blanket of stars.

Also

Children

Asilia Dunia Camp welcomes children aged five to 18. If your little Smiths are 12 or younger, you’ll need a private safari vehicle at additional cost.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Dining at the lodge is arranged communally, although individual tables can be set up at your preferred spot around camp on request.

Dress Code

Come as you are in this remote, outdoorsy stay.

Hotel Restaurant

Expect season-led dining that is proudly low on food miles. A commitment to sustainability and a celebration of local, indigenous ingredients underpin Asilia Africa’s approach to cuisine across all camps. Breads, cakes and even ice-creams are made freshly in-house, and dishes are always paired with South African wines.

At Asilia Dunia Camp, breakfast might be a picnic in the bush consisting of fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, freshly squeezed juices, baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and wraps. But if you're staying in camp, you also have an option to start your day with hot dishes à la carte.

Across all Asilia Africa camps, the menu changes by the day; at each meal, there’ll be a choice of starters, mains, sides and desserts, with vegetarians as well served as meat eaters. Lunch on Wednesdays and dinner on Sundays are a distinctly Swahili affair, spotlighting local culinary traditions. If you have food preferences or dietary requirements, the camp’s kitchen team will be happy to adapt dishes to suit.

Hotel Bar

An armchair-dotted lounge at the main lodge is your sociable watering hole, with tables indoors and out on the deck; or you can choose to sip your sundowners from the privacy of your tent veranda.

Last Orders

Rather than working to scheduled hours, meals fit around your plans and staff are happy to flex to meet your wishes.

Room Service

Available 24 hours; you can order drinks and snacks to your tent.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Asilia Dunia Camp gives you access to several celebrated Serengeti map-pins. Granite outcrops, called the Moru Kopjes — favoured by big cats and close to black rhino — stand sentry over the plains. When the Great Migration moves north between March and June, masses of wildebeest and zebras graze the grasslands around camp. Between December and March, full-day excursions to the south allow you to get up close with herds during calving season. And, year round, the Seronera River is a prime hunting ground for hopeful predators. Sunrise hot-air balloon safaris are your memorable extra.

If you’re looking to build your stay at Dunia into a wider safari adventure, make it the bridge between two more esteemed Asilia outposts in East Africa. Kick off with three nights at Asilia The Highlands, in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where extraordinary game viewing is paired with crater hikes and geodesic-domed suites. Three nights at Asilia Dunia Camp should be your second stopping point before traversing the Kenyan border for three nights as Asilia Rekero Camp, set above a river crossing in Maasai Mara.
