Asanja Moru

Asanja Moru has been around for 9 years is a lovely property. I really like the location in the western part of the Serengeti, it is green and lush and beautifully serene. The camp is charming and the staff are all incredibly good at what they do. There are 2 full time chefs and they prepare the most delicious meals, as good or better than what you could find in an upscale NYC restaurant. The fresh food is delivered on a regular basis and they take pride not only in the preparation, but also the presentation. I stayed for 5 nights and if you’re lucky, they will move the cooking operation outdoors for meals in the bush. It is such a great experience to dine outdoors in the wilderness. On my morning leaving the camp, we must have passed a heard of 50 elephants nearby marching toward our site. It was breathtaking. The manager of the camp, Bariki, is a consummate professional - he is very creative and very good at his job. I booked a safari driver directly through Asanja - his name is Sharif - he has vast experience and an encyclopedic mind regarding everything related to the park, especially all of the animals, including the exotic birds. While travelers can book with independent safari drive services, I would strongly recommend Sharif - he is usually in high demand and needs to be booked well in advance. I can’t imagine a driver more qualified and knowledgeable than Sharif - he really delivered and made each day on the Serengeti unforgettable. I highly recommend this property.

We stayed 2 nights and were treated like royalty. The staff were all nice and friendly and attentive to our every need. I would say here again and would recommend it to anyone. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Loved the monkeys in the morning.
