About Serengeti Safari Camp - South

Fancy some migration action? Come to Serengeti Safari Camp from December to April, and you'll witness the unforgettable sight of the herds as they pause to graze and calve before rejoining the head-to-tail journey to find better grazing. The camp is mobile – it follows the migration – and in this sector it is pitched beneath acacia trees near either Lake Ndutu or Lake Masek. It's a small, high-spec camp, so you can expect a smooth and safe experience, with warm hosts, well-informed and genial guides, elegantly comfortable tents, good foods and unforgettable sightings.

What you'll love

Watching the new calves finding their feet, their parents constantly on the lookout for hungry predators. Witnessing the predator/prey interaction is a moving life lesson.

Insiders tip

Aside from the wildebeest, Ndutu is a great place for birdwatchers. Look out for the pretty Fisher's lovebird, weavers at their nests, and six species of vulture.

Something to think about

Almost all of the main migration areas can get busy with vehicles during their peak – don’t let it put you off, but just be warned that you’ll probably see other wildlife-watchers during your stay.

The property

The first of its kind, Serengeti Safari Camp is a leader in the field of mobile camping, changing location to follow the movements of the migration (it won't move during your stay). The camp is pleasantly small, with a large open-sided tent containing the lounge and dining areas leading out to a campfire. The atmosphere is convivial and the food very good, catering for everyone.

The rooms

There are just six subtly elegant tents in a beautiful setting with great views. Each is spacious, with hand-crafted furniture, good linens and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is en suite, with a tub, handbasins, a toilet and a shower with an open roof, allowing you to soap yourself beneath the stars. Each has a sheltered porch area with chairs overlooking the bush.

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.
