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.

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.

Magic Camp Experience

This camp is magic! Excellent staff, guide, and food! The best part is being so close to the animals—we had giraffe and zebras outside our tent, fell asleep to the sounds of lions, and enjoyed sipping coffee on our last day while the migration gave us a goodbye parade to sen us off! We cannot say en...

FAQs

What should I take on Safari in Tanzania?

This is the trip of lifetime so you must have a good camera (or phone) to capture those wonderful memories. More importantly is a decent pair of binoculars - essential for your time in the bush. Sunscreen and insect repellant should be in the bag as well as a good water bottle, although you will be provided with a Nomad water bottle as part of your stay - hydration is really important on safari and in dry climates. Check your luggage restrictions with your tour operator as there are restrictions on luggage allowance for domestic flights in Tanzania. Also, if you react to insect bites be sure to bring antihistamines. It is a good idea to carry loperamide (commonly sold as Imodium) just in case.

How much do I tip my safari guide?

Firstly, you should only tip of you genuinely feel that the service you have received warrants it. Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. Tipping amounts very much depends on your experience but we tend to work with a range of 10-15 US dollars per guest per day. Equally, it's not unusual for a family or group to pitch in slightly below this as a group tip.

Is there Wi-Fi in our camps?

Yes we do have WI-FI at our camps - in the most remote locations the Wi-Fi can be limited to your tent or the main mess. We try to keep wi-fi in the tents so the mess and lounge area continue to be social and communal areas.

What I wish I knew before going on safari

Always take a good pair of binoculars. And slow down. Take time to enjoy and area or the safari camps. There is sometimes nothing more special than spending the afternoon or early morning on your veranda and letting the wildlife come to you.

What is Christmas and New Year like on Safari?

Quiet, wild and wonderfully different. Enjoy your festive dinners under the stars with lion calls in the distance - what a gift for the family.

How far in advance should I book my safari?

For peak seasons, between 9 and 12 months ahead is wise. This can vary depending on the places and camp you'd like to visit with some filling up earlier. The best camps and guides are worth planning for.

Do lodges offer honeymoon packages or upgrades?

Many do, yes - private dinners, spa treatments or surprise sundowners that add thoughtful moments to the trip. Occasionally, there are discounts for one spouse and it can be worth researching.

Can I go on safari and visit Zanzibar in one trip?

Yes absolutely, Tanzania has superb transport links from the mainland to Zanzibar as well as neighbouring islands too. Many travellers choose to spend some time in the wild on safari before heading to the coast for some R&R.
