Overview Accommodation Experiences When To Go

What's better than a camp that moves to be in the best spot?

A safari on foot with our expeditionary camp is driven by what's best - location, weather, wildlife - so we aim to do just that throughout the year.

From August to October camp heads to the lesser known but stunning national park of Ugalla - a park in western Tanzania where you may not see another soul and you'll certainly be one of the first names in the guest book. Ugalla offers superb walking terrain and varied wildlife at this time of year.

When the rains arrive out west, camp moves to the more familiar territories of the Serengeti plains as we prepare for the arrival of the herds.

Review for sand-rivers

Magical Experience

Such a magical experience. I have been on safari before and traveled a lot (both on a budget and luxury) - this was truly extraordinary and magical and the best by a considerable margin.

Review for lamai

Unique Serengeti Experience

Lamai is a unique place in the middle of Serengeti. You feel completely integrated into wildlife while relaxing in a wonderful camp with excellent service. Our kids also had a unique experience and could also enjoy in the swimming pool. The family room is charming and has outstanding views.
