Fodor's Expert Review Serengeti Safari Camp

Serengeti National Park, Mara, Tanzania

This Nomad camp delivers a classic mobile safari camp experience that does not compromise on comfort and quality. Guests are welcomed into a well-appointed lounge area filled with plush couches, charging stations, and delicate drapery; it feels as if you've walked into a peaceful space that really seeks to deliver on being part of the migration experience. Views open up at every angle so you never have a moment to miss out on any action. Tents are simple in layout with some lovely local touches and flourishes that lend themselves to being more than a simple far-flung safari. For the remoteness of the camps, the food is delicious and effortlessly prepared. Game drives are full-day events and depending on the site location you can come across herds of elephants, giraffes ambling past, and plenty of antelope---you may feel like you're in a National Geographic special as the wildlife moves right through the camp.
