Top 5 luxury Serengeti safari camps


The Serengeti is a vast open space of rolling hills, vast savannah and rivers which covers most of Northern Tanzania – it is one of the most famous safari destinations in all of Africa and certainly lives up to expectations. There is abundant game and predators around every corner, not to mention the wildebeest migration, which travels round the Serengeti every year. Here we bring your attention to five stand out camps in the Serengeti:

1. For the wildebeest migration – Serengeti Safari Camp

Serengeti Safari Camp is a luxury mobile camp which moves to follow the Wildebeest Migration around the Serengeti. The camp itself is small and intimate and run with the normal professionalism associated with Nomad Tanzania, who own the camp. Here it’s all about wildlife wildlife wildlife and the atmosphere in camp is of one big happy family.

2. For the Masai – Nduara Loliondo

In Northern Tanzania there are many cultural experiences which are not authentic, this is not the case at Nomad’s other tented camp, Nduara Loliondo – here the experience is totally natural, and you really get to know the Masai tribe and their traditions in a fun and authentic way.

3. For something ultra chic – Singita Mara River Tented Camp

This camp is mind blowingly luxurious with huge private decks, modern décor and the most sensational location on the Mara River. This camp is fantastic all year round but is subject to much drama from July to September when the Wildebeest Migration is there in full force.

4. For something truly wild – Namiri Plains Camp

Namiri Plains Camp is a small intimate tented camp, which is in a vast private concession in the Serengeti, this camp has been closed to the public for over twenty years as it has been being used for big cat research by the Frankfurt Zoological Society. The big cat viewing here, as you can imagine, is unrivalled.
