A million and a half wildebeest and zebra can’t be wrong, and this camp never settles for less. This canvas home-from-home and its indomitable crew are on the move year-in, year-out from one sweet Serengeti site to another, guided by the mass movements of the wildebeest migration and their quest for ever greener grass. Along with it come our highly trained naturalist guides and all the trimmings of a classic safari.
The camp moves seasonally 4 -5 times a year to follow the movements of the migration, but it will not move during your stay. Camp movements are pre-planned in an effort to be within reach of the wildebeest migration, but this cannot always be guaranteed given the unpredictability of nature and weather conditions.
OPEN:
Year round.
Shared twice daily game drives (with an option to upgrade to private car & guide for complete flexibility) in custom built 4WD vehicles. Opportunities to see the great wildebeest and zebra migration, large herds of plains game and the highest concentration of predators in Africa. Nomad guides are experienced and knowledgeable and great company on safari. Hot air balloon flights.
6 large walk-in safari tents, with dressing room area separating the beds from the new eco-flush loos and safari bucket showers. There is a separate lounge and dining tent and a traditional safari fireplace for sundowners. The family tent has two en suite bedrooms and adjoining sitting area.
December to April: the camp is on the southern Serengeti Plains with access to the main herds as they calve through February. Birding is excellent during this time, as is general game viewing. May to Early July: Western Corridor. The migration patterns can be unpredictable at this time of year, but the wildebeest rut (May) and the crossing of the Grumeti River (June/July) are spectacular if caught. Mid-June to November: northern Serengeti close to either the Mara or Sand Rivers, offering great game viewing and crossings of either of the rivers. Late November: the camp heads south again, arriving on the southern Serengeti Plains around mid- December.
We take great care over choosing a campsite but every one will be different! Always that little bit further from the crowds, in our own corner of Serengeti wilderness.
We are delighted to welcome children over the age of 8 at Serengeti Safari Camp.
Fly by private charter, or scheduled flights to the nearest airstrip (vary according to the seasons – contact your Nomad consultant for details), or drive in 4WD safari vehicles form our other northern camps.
