Pimbi Public Campsite

Pimbi Public Campsite: Central Serengeti Adventure

Pimbi Public Campsite is one of the most popular budget accommodation options located in the Seronera Valley, the heart of Serengeti National Park. Named after the Swahili word for 'Rock Hyrax' (Pimbi), which are frequently seen scurrying among the nearby rocks, this campsite offers an authentic and raw wilderness experience.

The campsite serves as a perfect base for exploring the Seronera region, famous for its high concentration of big cats and year-round wildlife. As a public site, it features shared facilities but provides the incomparable experience of sleeping under the stars with the sounds of the African bush—including the distant roar of lions and the whooping of hyenas—as your soundtrack.

Facilities and Experience

Pimbi is equipped with a large fenced kitchen area for safari chefs, shared washrooms with basic flush toilets, and cold showers. There is a common dining hall where guests can enjoy meals prepared by their guides. The site is unfenced, allowing for a truly immersive experience where wildlife can occasionally be seen passing through the periphery of the camp at night.
