Serengeti Safari Camp is designed to follow the migrating herds, which is the primary objective of most safari-goers. Camp sites are carefully selected to be within striking distance of the herds (nature allowing of course) but always tucked away in corners of hidden wilderness as far from others as possible. There are two identical camps which leap frog around the Serengeti, moving 4 - 5 times a year. This is one of the last camps to continue doing this as many "mobiles camps" now only move twice per season.Each year, these little camps cast off from Lamai Serengeti and begin their 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.
Lamai Serengeti provides an exclusive experience amidst the stunning Serengeti landscapes. With only a few rooms, guests relish unparalleled privacy while observing the wildlife roaming across the plains. Each tented room merges comfort with a seamless connection to the natural environment. Tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje it enjoys panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.Only a few miles away is where the wildebeest herds seasonally cross the Mara River. Between late July and October, this is where you will find the migration. For the rest of the year, it is wild Serengeti, with all the resident game of the Masai Mara but without the people.Experience the Serengeti from this extraordinary vantage point. Big game, big views, big Africa. Each room makes the very best of incredible views, space and light, while being sensitively designed and placed so as to be perfectly camouflaged against the natural backdrop. See, but not be seen. The panoramic views from every corner of Lamai Serengeti of the Serengeti and Masai Mara beyond deliver impact from the moment you arrive.
NOTE: Temporarily closed for refurbishment. Reopens in 2027. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is located on the Western rim of the Ngorongoro crater, with some of the best views towards the floor below. Although the main transit road to Serengeti is close by, the lodge is tranquil with some of best service and highest standards on the safari circuit. Each stilted, handcrafted banana thatch suite at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is decorated with graceful antiques and unforgettable opulence. Ensuite bathrooms, with a centrepiece of fresh roses, feature huge showers and chandelier-lit bathtubs, while floor-to-ceiling windows ensure breathtaking views from all around.
Mwiba Lodge is part of Legendary Expeditions’ portfolio, built among massive stone boulders, ancient coral trees and acacias. It overlooks the Arugusinyai River cascading down its rocky gorge. Privately controlled, this exquisite 125,000 acre Mwiba Wildlife Reserve is lush with color-infused botanicals and filled with wildlife. It features 33 freshwater springs that draw animals year round from the Serengeti.
Olakira is a safari camp with 9 tents that seasonally relocates between North and South Serengeti. Tents are spacious, comfortable with en-suite flush toilets and safari showers. After their daily activities, guests gather at the fire place, sundowner spots and the common dining and library tent. Enjoy a private dinner under the stars, with excellent food. The camp's size and the friendly, well trained staff create an authentic safari experience.Olakira camp operates in the prime wildlife areas of the southern (Ndutu) and northern Serengeti (Mukutano - at the Mara River). Though the camp is positioned to be within reach of the Migration, proximity to the Migration isn't guaranteed. This is due to the unpredictable nature of animals and the limited availability of good campsites should conditions change.
