Neptune Serengeti, perched on the top escalation of the secluded Soroi Hills, will be opening up in the endless plains, in November 2025.
The new facility will be adding 20 new luxury suites high above an elevation which provides a vantage viewing point of the wildlife-filled endless plains below.
There is an unmatched 180 degrees view over the Plains below supplemented with a spy-glass tower equipped with powerful binoculars to scan the entire range of the endless plains.
