Serengeti National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Spanning over 14,000 square kilometres, the park is best known for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the savanna in search of fresh grazing, followed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The Serengeti offers year-round game viewing, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable safari experiences ranging from game drives to walking safaris. Its untouched wilderness, Serengeti is one of Africa’s most remarkable safari destinations. The perfect place to disconnect.

Group size will be max 6 people for a more intimate experience and flexibility for space in the vehicles. Our schedule is flexible to make the most of each day on safari. Most mornings we head out early with a packed breakfast so we can spend extended time out in the bush without needing to return to camp. When wildlife activity is especially good, we often choose to enjoy lunch out in the field to maximize viewing opportunities. Each evening drive we also bring along our own sundowner drinks, giving us the freedom to pause and enjoy the landscape wherever the day’s adventure takes us.

Where we will stay

The open plains of the Lamai Wedge are incredibly beautiful and abundant in game. The landscape is reminiscent of scenes from Out of Africa, and there is plenty of freedom to roam and explore. The camp is situated opposite Crossing Point 4, midway among all crossing points along the river – and is perfectly positioned to spectate the wildlife along the river. Away from the river, this area of rolling savannah, boulder-strewn hillsides and fig-tree groves, is littered with inconceivably enormous herds of wildebeest, topi and zebra – as well as all the predators that gorge on this movable feast. Needless to say, the game-viewing we have access to is world-class. Cheetah, lion and elephant especially make for fantastic sighting, but it’s not unheard of to see the Big Five in a day.
