For a few months of the year the migration is on our doorstep at Lamai Serengeti.  But of course the wildebeest move and this is what our Serengeti Safari Camp is all about – understanding the Serengeti seasons and game movements and mirroring them.

Each year, this little camp casts off from Lamai Serengeti and begins its own odyssey.  Covering hundreds of miles and moving every couple of months along a route that the herds have travelled for hundreds of years, Serengeti Safari Camp is where you come for your migration fix.

Since the days in the early 90s when Mark and Milly Houldsworth sat down to design this little camp, it’s been much copied, but never equalled.  We wanted our camp to be effortlessly comfortable – a home from home, where you wanted for nothing.  But it’s never been about luxury for its own sake.

From the outset our focus has been clear.  We’re here to deliver a superlative experience of the extraordinary wildlife in this part of the world without damaging the environment that has so inspired us over the years.

This is why we’ve always worked with the best guides and always kept our camps small, intimate and simple.

Serengeti Safari Camp has just 6 open-plan walk-in meru tents, with an en-suite bathroom at the rear. One of these tents is a family tent with two bedrooms and an adjoining sittting area.

New eco-flush toilets and safari-style bucket showers, as well as a wash-basin with cold running water, and hot  water delivered as and when you’d like them.

The main dining tent sits in the middle of the line of tents, with the fireplace right in front and a separate library/bar tent nearby.

• LOCATION: Serengeti Safari Camp moves throughout the Serengeti National Park, changing location to follow the movements of the migration (it will not move during your stay). Camp movements are pre-planned in an effort to be within reach of the herds, but this cannot always be guaranteed given the unpredictability of nature and weather conditions.
• HOW TO GET THERE: Depending on the position of the camp, which changes according to time of year, there are daily flights from Arusha (and Dar es Salaam) to the various airstrips; drive in 4WD vehicles (when the camp is in the southern Serengeti)
• THE CAMP: This 14-bed camp has large walk-in East African style Meru tents, with a dressing area separating the beds from the bathroom area. There is a family tent which has two en suite bedrooms and an adjoining sitting area. All of the tents have new eco-flush toilets and safari-style bucket showers. Hot and cold water on demand. There is a separate lounge/library and a dining tent.
• ACTIVITIES: Morning and afternoon shared game drives (unless on private guided package which offers more flexibility) in closed 4WD vehicles (with open-roof hatches) with a Nomad Guide, daily game viewing, great birding; opportunity to see the great wildebeest and zebra migration, large herds of plains game and the highest concentration of predators in Africa.
• CHILD POLICY: We are delighted to welcome children of 8 and over at Serengeti Safari Camp.
• OPEN: all year round
