Rwanda & Tanzania Safari – Gorilla’s & Wildebeest & Beach

Night’s 4-6: Serengeti Safari Camp

Serengeti Safari Camp was designed to follow the annual wildebeest migration that happens in the Serengeti ecosystem. In doing so this mobile camp moves 4-5 times a year to carefully selected sites which not only give great access to the migration but are also set a bit further from the crowds which adds to the privacy.

Each tent has large beds, a dressing room and a bathroom where you will find an eco-flush toilet and a classic bucket shower system. The family tent has two en-suite bedrooms with a shared sitting area.

The main event for Serengeti Safari Camp is to enjoy the wildebeest migration. From Dec to Apr the camp is in the southern Serengeti Plains for the birthing seasons, from May to Jul the camp is around Moru Kopjes/Central Serengeti/Western Corridor and then in mid Jul to Nov the camp moves to northern Serengeti for the crossing of the Mara river.

Night’s 7 & 8: Entamanu Ngorongoro

Entamanu Ngorongoro is situated on the north western edge of the Ngorongoro Crater and has exceptional views both down into the Crater from one side, and out over the Serengeti from the other. This is the wilder side of the Crater and as such has a much more exclusive and remote feeling. Oh, and did we mention those views!!

The camp has seven elevated canvas rooms on wooden platforms, of which two are family rooms that consist of two bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Each room has indoor heating and en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, and flush toilets. Due to the nature of the terrain and location it can get cold and windy at night, but every effort is made to create comfort for the changing conditions and the rooms are designed for this.

There’s a wide range of activities on offer and as such we recommend 2 or more nights to fully appreciate the camp. The main event being game drives on the Crater floor, where game viewing is regarded as some of the best in the world. The area directly around camp is perfect for exploring on foot along with the Maasai who call this area their home and a multitude of Maasai encounters are possible. We recommend going for a walking safari along with the Maasai warriors.
