Wildlife could pass right by your safari tent at Thorn Tree Camp here in the central Serengeti. The large tents lie surrounded by savannah and you'll be able to lie in your bed and listen to the night sounds of Africa. This is truly one of the most memorable safari experiences you can imagine. Or by day you can watch animals grazing nearby. Meals in the dining tent are just as enjoyable.
