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...

You won't find many excesses in any of the eight double tents, but you will find everything you need. Because Nyikani is a mobile camp, permanent amenities like bear-claw bathtubs don't exist, but you will have flush toilets, warm bucket showers, a soft mattress with high-quality crisp white linen and a shaded veranda with chairs to enjoy the views. You might be surprised to find a writing desk, solar-powered lighting and plug points to charge your batteries.
Nyikani is positioned in the middle of the Great Migration and the famous river crossings. Even whilst relaxing in the lounge, you'll have 360° views of the action!
Don't leave Nyikani Camp without asking the chef to prepare a traditional Swahili dish.
The camp is completely removeable as it changes location with the migration, so don't expect the amenities of a lodge. But fear not, solar-powered lights and charging points are available.
