Tumbili Public Campsite: The Monkey Camp
Tumbili Public Campsite is centrally located near the Seronera Airstrip and the park headquarters. Its name comes from the Swahili for 'Monkey' (Tumbili), particularly the vervet monkeys that inhabit the surrounding trees and are known for their curiosity around visitors.
Tumbili is often used by smaller groups and private safaris because of its proximity to the major game viewing loops of the central valley. It offers a rustic, no-frills camping experience that puts you in the middle of the action.
