This luxurious camp is hidden amongst the rocky outcrops in Northern Serengeti. Arguably the most famous National Park in the world the Serengeti is rich with game throughout the year, providing the stage for the world’s largest animal migration when up to 2 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle make their way through their annual grazing pattern across the great plains.

Migration Camp is one of only seven permanent lodges in the whole of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The lodge is located in the Northern Corridor of the park, on the main wildebeest migration route between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara.

This part of the park is a quiet backwater compared with the more visited areas to the south and the very busy Maasai Mara to the north. In fact less than 1% of the total visitors to the eco-system reach this remote corner. Up here you can really experience the wild side of the Serengeti.

The migration seasons at camp are centred around July and November when the herds pass through the area, sometimes crossing the river right in front of camp. Game-viewing from the breakfast terrace can be superb. Additionally there is good resident game throughout the year, especially lion, leopard and elephant.

Migration is also one of only two lodges in the region where you can lie in bed and listen to the grunting of hippo.

PROPERTY CLOSURE PERIOD : April - May

The camp location along the bank of the Grumeti River is raised up on the side of an impressive kopje known as Poacher's Lookout, with broad views north over the undulating Serengeti hills and beyond to the plains of the Maasai Mara.

395 km north west of Arusha
Access – By road - 8.5 hours from Arusha
By Air to Lobo airstrip (50 minutes with an airstrip transfer time of 40 minutes)

The camp has just twenty luxury safari tents, which are arranged in pretty random fashion around the lodge. The earlier ones that we inherited from the previous owners are in a kind of military straight line. The later ones we have tried to locate in more imaginative fashion amongst the granite outcrops that surround us. Each of the tents has an ensuite bathroom, with permanent plumbing and electricity is provided by our generator evenings and mornings. Sockets are UK 3-pin 230 volt.

The honeymoon tent is located away from the other tents in a raised position up in the trees on Poacher's Lookout. For those so inclined there is a outdoor small hot tub in which to enjoy a glass of champagne. We also try to come up with a few special surprises for honeymooners, like bush dinners served on the top of the hill or down under The Big Tree. Feel free to email with your own romantic suggestions.

We also have a family tent, which is made up of two normal tents, joined by a large shared bathroom, which will sleep a family of up to six people in comfort. Lavish tents, richly furbished in wood and leather and with an internal floor space of 45sq metres and a 360°C verandah. Each tent has its own ensuite bathroom with double vanity

Migration Camp is fundamentally a traditional tented safari camp, but with some elements of a more modern design and cuisine. Our intention is to provide very comfortable surroundings, but without losing contact with the environment. We believe in eating outdoors under the stars and sleeping under canvas, listening to the sounds of the bush.

Perhaps in contradiction to this traditional approach we have also incorporated a swimming pool into our camp. Most people arrive at Migration after a long safari through the parks of Northern Tanzania and we find that the camp is appreciated as a place to rest and recharge almost as much as it is a base for continued game-viewing.

The main public areas comprise a two level lounge and bar area, the upper part of which is shown in the photo. Adjacent to this is the swimming pool and beyond is the restaurant area and breakfast terrace.
