About Serengeti Migration Camp
At the starting point of the Migration, elevated tented suites overlook the Grumeti River's resident wildlife.
Nestled among a landscape of rocky outcrops in the northern Serengeti, Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp holds a prime position to witness one of earth’s greatest wildlife spectacles. The camp is located beside the legendary Grumeti River, a dramatic stage for the Great Migration. Its location marks the starting point for this incredible journey, placing guests at the very heart of the action. The camp is designed to blend seamlessly with its rugged surroundings, offering an authentic safari experience in a landscape that has remained largely untouched for millennia.
Accommodation comprises twenty luxurious safari tents, elevated to provide commanding views of the wilderness. These spacious tents are richly furnished with classic safari elegance and an authentic sense of place. The standout feature is a 360-degree wrap-around verandah, a private deck that serves as a personal sanctuary for wildlife observation. From this exclusive vantage point, guests enjoy the constant theatre of the bush—from a quietly grazing antelope in the morning light to the distant call of a predator at dusk—fully immersed in the sights and sounds of the Serengeti.
The wildlife experience is defined by its intimacy and intensity. The adjacent Grumeti River is famous for its large pods of resident hippos, whose distinctive calls provide a constant, natural soundtrack to camp life. Expertly guided game drives and walking safaris offer high-action viewing opportunities in this dynamic ecosystem. Guests can track the vast herds of wildebeest and zebra as they gather for their monumental journey north, and witness the powerful predators that follow in their wake. The camp’s ethos focuses on low-impact tourism, ensuring encounters are both thrilling and respectful of the pristine environment.
The main lodge area acts as the camp’s social heart. A split-level lounge, dining area, and a sundeck with a swimming pool are thoughtfully arranged to maximize the panoramic views over the Grumeti River and the sprawling plains beyond. These comfortable spaces provide the perfect setting to relax, chronicle the day's sightings with fellow travelers, and watch the landscape change color as the sun sets. The experience here is one of dramatic proximity to the wild, balanced with exceptional comfort and warm, attentive hospitality, creating a deeply personal and unforgettable adventure.
