Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Ubuntu is a great migration chasing camp in the Serengeti. The tents are simple and comfortable. The locations excellent. This is the way to experience the Serengeti ecosystem.

Ubuntu Camps travel with the natural flow of the wildebeest migration through the Serengeti ecosystem. From the dramatic river crossings in the north to the fertile grasslands in the south where the wildebeest give birth, the camp is set up nearby to ensure you’re always close to the action. "Ubuntu" refers to the human characteristics of generosity, consideration and humaneness towards others in the community and is a word that suits this small, intimate camp.

The camp is a seasonal facility of eight tents with two lounge and dining tents. The intimate camp is designed to reach key areas of wildlife activity but still provide comfortable and relaxing accommodation. The camp is lightweight enough to move seasonally but it also offers a guests a great place to rest, dine and enjoy the landscape. Each tent is either a double or a twin (triples available), with flush toilets, running water and safari hot showers in en-suite bathrooms.

During May to July 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.
