Though the Serengeti park boundaries officially define the Serengeti,
the ecosystem goes way beyond these limits; we call it the Greater Serengeti.
It's a giant picture of wild Tanzania - masses of animals, contrasting
landforms, and tribal peoples. We roam around the lot in true Nomad fashion.
The camp is semi nomadic, the camp travels within the Serengeti National
Park and surrounding area, where densities of animals are mostly higher,
and the chance of seeing large predators is much greater.
Serengeti Safari Camp changes location every few weeks, but not during
your stay. The camp movements are pre-planned in an effort to be within
reach of the wildebeest migration.
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:
The camp moves to the Moru Kopjes area, central Serengeti Plains, and
to the Western Corridor as the mass of the migration moves west and north.
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-July to November:
The camp moves to the quieter northern Serengeti close to either the Mara
or Bologonja Rivers, offering great general game viewing and crossings
of either of the two rivers.
Towards late November the camp starts to head south again, arriving on
the southern Serengeti Plains around mid-December.
Accommodation
The camp has six tents. Each of the tents are light in their footprint,
but with all that anyone might need in their own bush home: spacious tents
with deeply comfortable beds, a roomy dressing area, and then an ensuite
bathroom with long drop toilet, and traditional safari style bucket showers
with hot and cold water on demand.
Only a short stroll away is the candlelit mess/library and dining tent
for some evening safari bonhomie. Our safari chefs are absolute wizards
at preparing the best meals in the midst of this bush paradise.
Activities
Every day, one of Tanzania's finest safari guides will take you out into
the midst of this incredible wilderness. Our guides have traveled the
length and breadth of the Serengeti eco-system and they take pride in
finding the more remote areas that are off the beaten track, the out of
the way special spots that others often miss.
As every couple, or group, have their own private 4WD vehicle and guide,
the days are yours to plan, with lunch in camp, or 'on the hoof' if you
prefer.
Seasons in Serengeti
It's a year-round park with very distinct seasons offering very different
experiences. The camp moves through out the year as above.
