Serengeti Under Canvas

Five times a year – the number of stages of the Great Migration – the camp moves from place to place, so there’s plenty to see whenever you come here. The simple canvas tents are decorated with true oriental luxury: fluffy carpets, fine chandeliers, soft sofas, tables set with silver and crystal, huge beds. The cuisine and beverages are beyond praise, and a caring personal butler will make sure that everything from the morning tea to the ashtray on the table is done and placed just the way you like it.

Perched atop a commanding rise, the lodge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding terrain. Elephants at the watering hole, predators on the hunt, grazing antelope – all of this unfolds before your eyes, whether you’re relaxing in your room, unwinding at the bar, or soaking up the sun by the pool. The rooms have spotlights, and we’ve hooked up a television to a camera that focuses on the watering hole, letting you experience the savanna’s drama from your suite. Here, they cater to every guest’s individual tastes and desires.

Each room is a private luxury tented tent on stilts. For you a huge four-poster bed, a whirlpool bathtub and a personal butler. The cuisine is worthy of the best chefs in Europe. All meals can be served either in the main restaurant or on your own veranda or in the garden. Spa treatments are performed using the finest natural oils – baobab or South African fynbos. Kemp welcomes all year round, but the best time to visit and watch the Great Migration is from August to October.

Want to experience a nomadic life in an untouched natural setting, yet with all the familiar comforts? Welcome to Roving Bushtops.
In this small camp, nestled in the vast expanse of the Serengeti National Park, you’ll find something that no luxury hotel can offer. An hourly change of scenery and experiences. This easily movable camp relocates across the savannah following the animals several times a year. Each tent has its own dedicated vehicle, allowing you to decide when and in which direction you want to go on a safari.

At Olakira Migration Camp, the African sky is your roof. The thin but sturdy netting of the tent allows you to gaze at it as long as you like. And when astronomical observations get boring, you can spend time around the campfire with delicious food and pleasant conversation. Days in the camp are even more interesting. From June to November you can see the most dramatic episode of the Great Migration – the crossing of gnu and zebras across several deep lakes.

On one of the slopes of the Rift Valley lurks Mwiba Lodge, a private reserve of approximately 50,000 hectares. The nature here is unspoiled and majestic. The ten suites leave you feeling spacious, airy and cozy. Large, bright rooms finished in wood, genuine leather and cashmere, huge baths and outdoor showers. Add to that superb cuisine and a private car with a guide driver, spa and gym, helicopter tours and night safaris (except day safaris), and powerful Wi-Fi.

The camp consists of ten cottages in “African vintage” style: palm leaf roofs, whitewashed walls made of local stone, wooden floors. Restrained, but cozily furnished rooms, open veranda with a fireplace and comfortable armchairs, from which you can enjoy a delightful view. Rest can be combined with health benefits: unique spa procedures with a complex of natural local ingredients are at your disposal. Special entertainment for children will not be boring.

On the bank of a small river tributary stand ten spacious tents, whose interior combines the simplicity and brightness of country with royal chic. For nature lovers, this is an earthly paradise. The river is home to many crocodiles and hippos. Local hippos are recognized as the largest in the world and you can watch them right from your room. The restaurant deserves special attention. All food is cooked in stone jiko roasters or on fires. Butler service and babysitting for children are available.
