Serengeti Migration Camp perfectly encapsulates the luxury camp experience. It lines the banks of the famous Grumeti River. Home to pods of grunting and wallowing hippos. And synonymous with low impact high action game viewing. In a landscape that has been untouched since the dawn of time. Serengeti Migration Camp is in central Northern Serengeti. This is a quieter, less visited part of the Serengeti. The area feels wonderfully private. Serengeti Migration Camp has easy access to the Mara River during the northern migration season.
The main ‘tent’ has a split-level lounge, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and viewing platforms. These offer views across the river and the rugged landscape beyond. But it is the drama and proximity of the wild, which take the experience of this camp to another level. A large swimming pool invites guests for a refreshing swim during the heat of the day. A striking rooftop bar is perfect for a post-safari sundowner.
The dining experience at Serengeti Migration Camp is on a separate deck overlooking the Ndasiata Hills and the Grumeti River. Dine under canvas or al fresco under the brilliant African skies.
20 x luxurious elevated tents, each with spacious and richly furnished bedrooms, blend seamlessly into the environment. Serengeti Migration Camp Tents are designed with the guest’s comfort in mind. Each tent has an en suite shower room with a flushing toilet, shower, and twin vanity basin. The latter of which receives hot (solar generated) and cold running water 24 hours a day.
They include luxuriant soft furnishings, a writing desk, and stationery set, and a room fan. The tents have a wooden floor, fixed bathroom walls, and fixed wooden doors but all combine with the enveloping canvas.
Each of the tents is surrounded by its own 360 degree verandah deck. Which in turn creates your very own private sanctuary to enjoy the constant game sightings. And the ever present sounds of the bush.
Serengeti Migration Camp tents have the feel of a stately hotel room. But with canvas walls to let the sounds of the African bush remind you of your truly wild location.

Game Drives
Full day game drives are the most rewarding in the Serengeti. You can set off early with a champagne picnic breakfast and stay out all day. Carrying your delectable picnic lunch. You will be delighted and awed by the sheer number of wildlife. Including the big five as well as abundant other wildlife. An easy hour’s game drive from the camp takes you to the Mara River. This is one of the sites of the famed frenetic migration river crossings.
For birders, there are over 500 species of birds in the area. These range from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland. To the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
Lions in tree

The best time to visit Serengeti Migration Camp
From April through June and again from late October through December, guests can witness the great migration firsthand. Bear in mind, this is a natural phenomenon so times may fluctuate slightly.
Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game viewing in Africa. Great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephants, and giraffes. And thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala, and Grant’s gazelle.
The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River. While a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here. Alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators. Ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat.
This area of the Serengeti offers fantastic game viewing year round.
