Fodor's Expert Review Serengeti Migration Camp

Serengeti National Park, Mara, Tanzania

Found in northeast Serengeti among the rocky Ndasiata Hills, it's hard to believe that the accommodation is actually tented because it looks so luxurious. These spacious tents have hand-carved wooden furniture, big window-like screens, en suite bathrooms, and a verandah that faces the Grumeti River, which gives you a ringside seat of the migration. The main areas with their deep leather chairs, sofas, handsome rugs, and elegant fittings seem more like a gentlemen's club you'd find in London or Washington, D.C., than a tent. Game is good all year round, but when the migration passes through it is awesome. Need a change of pace? You can laze by the pool or take a balloon safari over the Serengeti.

PROS

  • 360-degree wooden deck veranda
  • walks along the Grumeti River
  • professional and attentive service

CONS

  • camp is about a three-hour trip from central Serengeti
  • lots of steps may be a problem for people with mobility issues
  • slightly larger than other camps
