Nyani Public Campsite: The Baboon Outpost

Nyani Public Campsite is another staple of the Seronera Valley camping circuit. Named after the Swahili word for 'Baboon' (Nyani), this site is favored for its strategic location and the diverse wildlife that frequents the surrounding acacia woodlands.

Staying at Nyani allows for early morning game drives in the Seronera River area, which is prime territory for leopards and lions. The site is open and provides a real sense of being part of the ecosystem, with clear views of the starry African sky at night.

Essential Facilities

Like other public sites in the area, Nyani provides essential amenities managed by TANAPA. These include a secure kitchen unit to keep curious animals away from food supplies, a communal dining shelter, and shared toilet and shower blocks. While basic, the thrill of camping in one of the world's most famous wilderness areas is the true highlight.
