Serengeti Safari Camp - West

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Gold price level

Mango Opinion

This is the way to experience the Serengeti. Our clients continually rave about the camps, guides and experience! While not an inexpensive option, these are very well run camps in exceptionally wild areas of the Serengeti. Camps are moved depending on where the wildlife is during that time of the year. The campsites along this western section of the park put you in position to see the big herds potentially crossing the Grumeti River and enjoy the great densities of cats in Central Serengeti.

These tented camps can be a bit rustic for some travelers - with eco-friendly flushing toilets and hot bush bucket showers. Food is better described as hearty than gourmet. Simple and tasty.

This luxury tented camp pioneered the first of its kind as a mobile “migration chasing” Serengeti camp. The tented camp roams around the vast grass plains of Tanzania. Nomad Safari Guides study where the concentrations of animals will be at that time of year and place the camp in the best available location to access the action. The camp moves throughout the year to shadow the timing of the migration, and can vary by as much as three months depending on the year's rains. You will enjoy luxury mobile camping in the heart of the park. The tents are comfortable, light and simple, but fully equipped. The bathrooms are en-suite, with traditional safari style bucket showers, short drop toilets, and hot and cold water on demand. The camp is remote, yet comfortable with fabulous cuisine and service.

During April and May this camp is located where the herds head north on their way to the Western Corridor and finds them flooding through Moru Kopjes in the South Central Serengeti. As the migration gathers momentum, the herds enter the Serengeti Western Corridor. It's here, in June and July, that the wildebeest and their newborn calves meet their first serious barrier in the form of the Grumeti River and its vast crocodiles. As well as the herds that make up the migration, there are also many of the cats, as well elephants, buffalo, impala, giraffe and many other species of plains game. Game drives and walks in the company of the Masai are at your leisure.
