This camp is a mobile camp that enjoys various locations within the Serengeti National Park. Along with the movement of the herds of wildebeest and zebra, the camp relocates to ensure guests receive supreme game viewing opportunities. The exclusive camp will welcome you to intimacy, seclusion, comfort and an unfiltered African safari experience.

In addition to the famed wildebeest and zebra of the Serengeti, a diversity of other wildlife, bird and insect species reside on the endless grasslands of Tanzania's greatest national park. Dine in the shared dining area or dine alfresco around a blazing campfire.

Day 1: Arusha Airport - Serengeti National Park

A scheduled air transfer will take you from Arusha Airport to an airstrip in the Serengeti, where a lodge representative will welcome you and drive you to the camp. This exclusive camp has Meru-style tented suites with en-suite bathrooms and a safari-style bucket shower. The main tent has a shared dining area and a fireplace, and another tent has a library and bar area where you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon or evening.

Day 2 - 5: Serengeti National Park

Game viewing takes place in specialized closed 4x4 safari vehicles allowing you to record great wildlife encounters clearly. Your trained and experienced safari guide will ensure that your morning and afternoon game drives are conducted safely and that you get maximum game viewing opportunities.

The Great Migration occurs in cyclic stages. The calving season from December to March each year sees the migration of wildebeest and zebra in the southern Serengeti. From late February to March the birth of half a million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle occurs. During April and May, it is the rutting season, the great herds are on the move, traversing the south central Serengeti as they start to head north.

June and July there is more urgency to find good grazing and water as the migration enters the Serengeti Western Corridor. Here they encounter their first serious barrier, the Grumeti River with its huge crocodiles waiting patiently for their annual feast. August to November, the migration has reached the northern range of the Serengeti bordered by the Mara River, which poses a massive barrier to transverse in order to find the sweet grass on the other side.
 

At each stage of the migration, there are the ever-present predators stalking, hunting and following the migration as far as their territories allow. Plus of course, the plains are shared by elephants, buffalo, giraffe and other antelopes.
