Enduata Camps, a new entrant to Tanzania’s safari sector, opened Wild Wakati Camp in the central Serengeti.
Founded by Matt Wilkey and Tanzanian guide Michael Shayo, the operator positions itself as offering low-impact, community-focused safari experiences in one of Africa’s most sought-after wildlife destinations.
Wild Wakati Camp is situated along a key corridor of the Great Migration and features 10 canvas tents, including two family units. Accommodations include en suite bathrooms, modern amenities and views across the Serengeti plains. Guests enjoy full board with gourmet meals, safari sundowners and a dedicated children’s program that includes activities such as traditional fire making, Masai cultural lessons and safari football.

Travelers can join guided game drives to witness the Great Migration, predator encounters and rare wildlife, including exclusive rhino-viewing near Moru Kopjes, an area of ancient granite outcrops in the southern Serengeti known for its unique landscape and resident black rhinos. Additional experiences range from hot air balloon safaris and bush breakfasts to walking safaris and visits to local Masai villages. The camp also partners with Sanaa, a social enterprise based in Arusha, featuring handcrafted decor and supporting people with disabilities.
Enduata Camps employs local staff, sources materials from Arusha and donates a portion of profits to conservation and community initiatives. Rates at Wild Wakati Camp start at $510 per person, per night in the green season, and packages include accommodations, meals, drinks and safari activities.
