Songa Tented Camp

Amongst the hilly kopjes of Kogatende and settled beneath a canopy of acacia trees, the camp is divided into two. Each has its own main area – a canvas lounge and mess tent with a no-fuss bar area. Open-air lounges may be arranged outside to make the most of the views or the crackle of the fire at night. The structures are simple, but there's no lack of finesse. You'll dine and lounge in rustic elegance, with white tablecloths, plush sofas and textured African rugs. Lantern-lit evenings exude the romance of old-school safaris.

After enjoying the wildlife action, you'll be glad to disappear behind the tent flaps for a rest. The tents are roomy, with a choice of comfortable twin or king-sized beds and the possibility of an extra twin bed. Your en-suite bathroom has a flushing toilet and on-demand heated bucket showers to wash off the Serengeti dust. The atmosphere is undoubtedly romantic, with white netting shrouding the beds, crisp white linens on mattresses that guarantee a well-earned sleep, earthy rugs, and wide views from your furnished veranda.

In this section of the Serengeti, the pulse-quickening Migration thunders across the plains and the camp is perfectly positioned for a front row view. Game drives are the only activity around here and they're the best way to follow the action. Apart from, perhaps, an unforgettable hot air balloon ride! You'll experience zebra, wildebeest and antelope stampeding through the savannah and acacia woodlands, their predators in silent pursuit. Not to mention, the chance to see every member of the Big Five. The vehicles' closed sides keep out the dust, but large windows and pop-top roofs mean you don't miss a thing. Cameras at the ready!
