• PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • Premier Serengeti Camp welcomed to Newmark Collection The opportunity to witness the Serengeti’s great wildebeest migration – one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring occurrences – with unimaginable proximity to nature is now proudly offered by Newmark Hotels, Residences, Reserves & Lodges. The distinguished hotel property group is pleased to announce its acquisition of Serengeti Explorer Camp – a majestic camp that changes location within Serengeti National Park [see editor’s note 1] twice a year, following the masses of wildebeest and other animals. From April 2018, Newmark will officially take over the ownership and management of this world-class camp, adding to its portfolio of top-end hotels, reserves, residences and lodges in Africa. Comments Neil Markovitz, Founder and Managing Director of Newmark: “Welcoming Serengeti Explorer Camp to the Newmark portfolio is a tremendous milestone. Everything about this property – the setting, the experience and the accommodation is truly remarkable.” Serengeti Explorer Camp comprises 12 spacious and incredibly private tents, each offering top-end “glamping” accommodation which is ideally suited to couples and families. To mark the beginning of a new chapter, Newmark will be carrying out a soft refurbishment on the existing accommodation by introducing new décor and fittings, taking the property to even greater heights. The gentle overhaul, which is set to be complete by July 2018, will include the introduction of neutral tones, wooden features and African-inspired patterns which perfectly complement the camp’s striking surroundings in each of its two locations. From 15 December to 31 March, the camp is located in the Ndutu region on the park’s border, near to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. From 1 June to 31 October, the camp is situated in the Lobo region in the northern part of the park, closer to the Kenyan border.
