New this April…private luxury mobile camps!

We are now offering private luxury mobile camps to our clients in Tanzania. The new mobile camps will be offered in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Lake Natron, Ngornogoro Conservation Area, the Serengeti or anywhere our clients wish to explore that we can go with a 4×4. These private, exclusive mobile camps offer a vintage Hemingway safari experience. The camps are perfect for a couple looking for a romantic bush experience, a family wishing to share one of life’s greatest experiences together, corporate groups or groups of friends just wanting to have their own special space.

The private camps feature large sleeping tents with ensuite shower and toilet. Each tent has a double bed or two twin beds, tables and lamps, and enough power for lighting, charging phones, cameras or laptops. You can also request specially designed Stargazer tents that have windows in the roof of the tent so that your clients can see the stars at night. Each camp will have a Mess tent for comfortable dining as well as relaxing in camp when not out exploring or on game drives. We will have full camp staff, gourmet meals and a well stocked bar included. The daily menus and bar can also be customized to meet the needs of each individual group. We are so excited to be offering this authentic safari experience to our clients.

What,When and Where is the Great Migration?

We are often asked about the Great Migration…here is the What, When and Where of one of natures greatest spectacles in the world.

What: The annual wildebeest migration in East Africa, also known as “The Great Migration” takes place between Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Masai Mara. It is known as one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet.  Over two million herbivores partake in this journey, with about hundreds of thousand zebra and Thomson’s gazelle behind the main players… 1.5 million wildebeest!  
The massive herds are closely followed by predators like lion, hyena, and cheetah, making the most of every opportunity for the next meal. The timing of the migration is determined by the availability of grazing which is dependent on the rains. The wildebeest take advantage of the strongly seasonal conditions, spending the wet season on the plains in the south-east, and the dry season in the woodlands of the north-west. It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event.  The Migration is rarely ever the same in terms of precise timing and direction, as local conditions influence grass growth. This means that the wildebeest may move off the open plains earlier in some years and remain in the northern woodlands for longer in others.
