About Legendary Serengeti Mobile Camp - Grumeti

This camp no longer exists, please get in touch with us to find out about alternative mobile camps in the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is arguably the planet's pre-eminent game-viewing destination. Its annual Great Migration is certainly one of the world's most intense spectacles: two million herbivores moving en masse, braving their skins against hungry predators. Capitalising on the ever-shifting action, Legendary Serengeti Mobile Camp sets up in Grumeti, in the northwest sector of the migratory path, from May to July. The season is short but sweet, giving guests the best of the best, not just in game viewing, but in personalised hospitality, too. The camp is divided into two full-board units, ensuring quality in-camp attention and oodles of peace and quiet.

Highlights

What beats breakfast in bed? Breakfast outdoors – in the bush! You'll be glad you got up for this one: eggs cooked to order following appetite-whetting game-chasing.


Elevate your safari to new heights with a hot-air balloon ride. You'll need to dig deeper into your pockets, but you'll be rewarded with magical morning light and a privileged vantage point as you float above the plains. Expect phenomenal photographic opportunities!


Exceptionally personalised guiding. However small your group, you're guaranteed a private vehicle and guide, so your safari is flexible and designed to give you the very best sightings.

The property

The camp's two sections – one accommodating up to 10 guests; the larger 14 – are spaced well apart for privacy. Each has its own central mess tent and lounge (the latter is arranged outdoors when the weather is good, making the most of views). The communal areas are simple shelters, although their interiors lack none of that old colonial charm – white table linen, comfortable sofas and African rugs. Soft lanterns enhance the sense of a romantic, old-school safari.

The rooms

Though you may describe the tents as "simple" due to their easily erased mobile footprint, their interiors embody safari luxury. The care lies in the details: crisp white linens, comfortable mattresses, fluffy duvets and views from a furnished veranda. One camp has 6-7 tents, while the other 4-5; no more than 11 in total. Beds are king-sized or twins, with the possibility of an added twin bed. All have an en-suite flush toilet and on-demand heated bucket showers.

Hot Air Ballooning
Bush Walks
Walking safari
Night Drives

Private guides and vehicles at each camp allow you to capture the very best of the action in this dynamic, ever-shifting area. Game drives are your only option here, but they're the best way to follow the wildlife – head out early, when the animals are most active.You'll see, and hear, migrating zebra, wildebeest and antelope, plains game, and even the Big Five. Vehicles are closed-sided to keep out dust, but large windows and pop-top roofs allow incredible photo opportunities.

The Serengeti National Park is an ecologically rich environment and home to vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, Thomson's gazelle and buffalo grazing on the sweet grasses of the savannah. Even after the Great Migration has moved through, the game viewing is exceptional in this region. The predators are never far off, with cheetah and lion in abundance and leopard readily seen in the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. Enjoy expansive grasslands, acacia thickets, meru kopjes (granitic hills) and riverine forests.
