Variations
This safari, based in the Ndutu area, provides an excellent opportunity to see "The Migration", between December and May.
At other times of the year the Serengeti Savannah Camps may be placed in alternative locations to provide the best opportunities for game viewing according to the seasons. These camps will be shared, like a lodge, with other guests.
As an alternative you may consider the luxury of an Amazing Tanzania Mobile Camp. Here you will have the camp for your exclusive use, and we will recommend the best locations for the ultimate bush experience.
With more time you can explore other parts of the Serengeti eco-system, perhaps with a camp in the Gol Mountains, or in the Northern Serengeti.
Additionally a few nights in a lodge may provide you with the opportunity to see more of the area and its game.
