Serengeti

11 Rooms

|

From $560 per person/night

Get front-row seats at the world's most iconic wildlife show

Those who know little about the bush are still likely to have heard of the Serengeti and its annual Great Migration. It's a dramatic, often televised event, and Nyikani Camp sits at the intersection of it all. Set up in the busy migratory region of northern Tanzania's Mara section of the Serengeti, this small mobile camp takes advantage of key river crossings from late May to mid-November, when wildebeest and zebra migrate for more fertile grazing. With just eight canvas tents, the in-camp experience is much like those classic safaris featured in travellers' tales. This is high adventure, Serengeti-style...
