To get as close as possible to the migration is our sole obsession.

A million and a half wildebeest and zebra can’t be wrong, and our Serengeti Safari camp never settles for less. Our canvas home-from-home and its indomitable crew are on the move year-in, year-out from one sweet Serengeti site to another, guided by the mass movements of the wildebeest migration and their quest for ever greener grass. Along with it come our highly trained naturalist guides and all the trimmings of a classic Serengeti safari.

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the rustle of the Serengeti where the air hums with the promise of lion tracks, elephant herds, and wildebeest in full migration. This vast, golden wilderness is the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic national park, a place where every game drive feels like the start of a story worth telling.

Enhancing lives at Serengeti Safari Camp

From enhancing dynamic careers to working with local communities and conservation projects, here are some inspiring stories from migration chasing mobile camp.

Life long learning & growth

Creating career paths

Photography internships

We believe in business as a force for good and so we launched our unique photography internship to give young aspiring Tanzanian wildlife photographers the opportunity to hone their skills from our camps and wilderness we call home.

Why do we think this is important? Keen young wildlife photographers in Tanzania are short of opportunities of this kind so we use our camps to give them access to Tanzania’s wilderness and wildlife.

Life long learning & growth

Creating career paths

Tents created in the open air for a life in the bush

We’ve worked with Baadiye since the beginning, so he is used to bringing some of our more unusual and challenging tented designs to life.

Baadiye is an old hand in the tent making industry and we enjoy knowing that our camps are being handmade by Tanzanians, stitch by stitch.

Twenty years of working with Nomad has allowed Baadiye to diversify, he is now running properties across Arusha that he has bought and rents to others. Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. And that is where we come in.

Northern Tanzania safaris

Our Northern Tanzania camps are in enviable locations that mean we can take you deeper into this epic wilderness and create life changing experiences.
