ENVI Lodges Announces the May 1st Opening of ENVI Sisini Mara in Tanzania – A New Luxury Tented Camp in the Northern Serengeti
ENVI Lodges is proud to announce the opening of ENVI Sisini Mara on May 1st 2025, its newest luxury tented camp in the Northern Serengeti, Tanzania, listed in the Robb Report as one of the 50 most anticipated luxury hotel openings of 2025.
Nestled in one of the world’s most breathtaking wildlife destinations, ENVI Sisini Mara offers a sanctuary for those seeking an immersive, back-to-nature escape. This exclusive camp is set against the backdrop of the Great Migration, one of Earth's most awe-inspiring natural spectacles.
Location! Location! Location!
Northern Serengeti is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream—home to lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and so much more.
Conveniently located just 40 minutes from Kogatende airstrip, ENVI Sisini Mara is easily accessible—yet feels worlds away. The camp is a short 20-minute drive from one of the main river crossing points, where guests can witness over a million wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and elands, braving the perils of the Mara River in the largest terrestrial mammal migration on the planet.
Set against this spectacular landscape, ENVI Sisini Mara seamlessly blends luxury with nature. The camp features nine Nature Tented Suites and one exclusive Two-Bedroom Suite called “The Retreat”. The beautifully appointed suites, with magnificent views of the lush bush, are a sanctuary for guests to unwind after an adventure filled day in the Serengeti.
" We are thrilled with the opening of ENVI Sisini Mara, that not only offers our guests a coveted front row seat to the Great Migration in Northern Serengeti, but a camp that truly embodies the very essence of an authentic, immersive Safari experience, in what is considered one of the best wildlife locations in both the Serengeti & East Africa.” says Paul Jordaan, Executive Director at ENVI Lodges. “And it’s not just the camp’s incredible location- it's the intimate setting, the world class tented suites, the emphasis we make on each touch point of the guest journey and the exceptional Tanzanian hospitality... ENVI Sisini Mara really encompasses our vision and commitment to sustainable luxury."
A Safari for the Soul
“Safari” is the Swahili word for journey and at ENVI Sisini Mara, every aspect of the guest experience, from its farm-to-table dining concept to its holistic wellness offerings, is a journey designed to nourish the mind, body and soul, inviting guests to embark on a safari of the senses.
Guests can enjoy al fresco meals at our gourmet restaurant, intimate, lantern lit bush dinners set against the sounds of the wild, or a leisurely bush breakfast in the heart of the savannah, enroute to the next wildlife sighting.
Wellness is seamlessly woven into the guest journey, with spa treatments inspired by traditional African therapies, and restorative experiences in nature.
Beyond the camp, guests can immerse themselves in once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including a hot air balloon safari that will see them drifting gently with the wind over the vast Serengeti plains whilst watching a magnificent African sunrise followed by a Champagne breakfast. Guided walking-safaris offer a more intimate encounter with the wilderness, while community visits provide meaningful connections with the local Maasai people, offering insights into their traditions and way of life.
Two Camps, Two Spectacular Serengeti Locations, Unbeatable Circuit Offers
The addition of this new camp to the ENVI Lodges portfolio brings with it an exciting opportunity for guests to experience a stay at both ENVI Sisini Mara and ENVI Sisini Serengeti, two of the best luxury camps in two prime locations in Serengeti National Park.
With unbeatable circuit offers available for 4, 5 and 6-night stays combining both camps, guests can explore the rich diversity of scenery, wildlife and birdlife in both Northern and Central Serengeti, that each unique camp and location has to offer.
