Ang'ata Migration Bologonja Camp

The communal area of the camp comprises two large canvas tents with roll-up sides and wooden floors. The lounge tent has a few cushioned, wooden couches, a bar cabinet and a charging station. Next door, the dining room has several individually laid tables covered with khaki cloth. There is little by way of décor, save for the colourful, hot air balloon-inspired light shades. An open-air fire-pit sits on the grass in front of the tents, with uninterrupted views of the plains by day and a sky full of stars by night.

Twelve large canvas tents, including one family unit, can accommodate 26 guests, making it quite a large camp when full. Exceedingly comfortable king or twin beds are draped with mosquito nets and have bed-side lights. The ensuite bathrooms all have a basin at the centre with a curtain-enclosed shower and a toilet to either side. The shower is connected to two big water cans hanging outside the tent (one hot and one cold - so you'll need to ask the staff to fill your hot water tank before taking a shower). A narrow, shaded patio has two camping chairs and a small table.

Morning and evening drives are the name of the game here, though it's also possible to pack a picnic and stay out the whole day - not a bad idea since the river-crossing action certainly doesn't stop for lunch. Since the camp is only open when the migration is passing through, you're guaranteed to see plenty of animals, especially wildebeest and zebra, as well as the predators that follow them. The best way to get a real sense of the extent of the herds is to zoom out a bit and get a bird's-eye view - from a hot air balloon. It's a good idea to book this activity in advance.
