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.

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.
