Maswa Game Reserve is a privately managed wilderness area to the west of Serengeti National Parks’s southwestern boundary. There are a number of permanent private camps in the area along with seasonal tented camps – all aimed at the higher end of the market.
Maswa Game Reserve is a refuge area for much of Serengeti’s wildlife, drawn into the area because of the permanent watering points, thickets and grasslands that offer year round forage, including in the dry season. Being outside the parks, walking, night drives, off road driving and other activities are permitted when accompanied by a professional guide.

Songa Migrational Camp moves with the Great Migration, relocating twice a year between the northern and southern Serengeti to place guests at the heart of one of nature’s greatest spectacles. From this unique vantage, watch over two million wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle sweep across the expansive grasslands. In the south, the camp resides in Maswa Game Reserve, an exclusive-use wildlife sanctuary bordering the southern Serengeti. Its prime position on short-grass plains gives guests private access to the herds during calving season, with no other tourists nearby. In the north, Songa sits in the rolling hills of Kogatende, putting you in the action as the mega herds approach the dramatic Mara River crossings, typically between July and October.
