The annual cyclical migration of two million wildebeest, zebra and antelope is one of the most dramatic spectacles on the planet. Compelled by their ever-constant search for food, these herbivores trace a migratory path through northern Tanzania's Serengeti, while braving crocodile-infested rivers and the constant threat of skulking predators. Nyasi Migrational Camp positions itself to witness the best of this great migration from mid-July to November. To keep things quaint and personal, there are just eight tents, ensuring quality hospitality and loads of peace and quiet. You'll be shown the ways of the wilderness by a private guide so every safari is at your own pace!

Tucked into a quiet corner of the Mara North Conservancy, Acacia House is your very own country house in the bush. A charming three-bedroom house, it’s perfectly positioned looking out over a busy waterhole and those iconic Mara plains, with nothing but birdsong, warthog grunts and the occasional lion roar to disturb the peace. With a dedicated team, your own guide and vehicle, and a wonderfully relaxed, do-as-you-please rhythm, it’s made for families and friends who like their freedom – and a good dollop of wildlife, too.

Chitabe Lediba is the smaller of two sister camps situated in the private Chitabe Reserve on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta. The camp is an independent four-room counterpart to the nearby eight-room Chitabe Main Camp. Its smaller size increases the intimacy and exclusivity. Mostly a dry camp with sporadic seasonal flooding, this family-friendly, well appointed tented camp is known for its broad range of habitats and species, as well as exceptional service and its wild dog population.

Jao Camp is situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta on a large island bordering the Moremi Game reserve. It is one of the Delta’s original premier camps, well-established and a cut above the rest with high standards and service levels. Access is by light aircraft transfer to Jao airstrip, followed by four-wheel-drive vehicle to the camp. Perched above teaming waterways, yet close to dry Kalahari woodland, it offers the best of both worlds - amphibious activities and unadulterated sophistication in a truly wild and authentic setting.

Island tree-houses with a relaxed atmosphere

This intimate tree-house style camp, situated in the centre of the Jao concession, is known for its density of red lechwe and incredibly good birding. Although Kwetsani is not known for big game, it does offer good predator-spotting opportunities. Perched amongst fig and palm trees on the shores of a slim island, Kwetsani is perfectly positioned to make the most of the surrounding landscapes and their variety of game. In summary, Kwetsani offers an authentic and relaxing Okavango experience.

This luxurious, stylish and intimately small tented camp is situated on Hunda Island, the largest island in the Jao reserve, on the western side of the Okavango Delta. Like it’s big sister Tubu Tree Camp, Little Tubu offers some of the best dryland viewing in the area. Although the two camps are separate, they are linked by a wooden walkway. The surrounding forests are a great place to see leopard, while other surrounding areas offer a consistent variety of typical Delta game.
