Unlike traditional permanent lodges or hotels, Migration Expeditions Camp provides a truly authentic, back-to-nature safari experience. With spacious, luxury tents equipped with modern amenities, guests enjoy the perfect combination of comfort and wilderness. Each tent is designed for privacy and tranquility, allowing visitors to feel completely immersed in the surrounding environment while still enjoying the comfort of soft beds, en-suite bathrooms, and solar-powered lighting.
Expert Guides and Wildlife Tracking
At Migration Expeditions Camp, expert safari guides lead daily game drives across the vast plains. With their in-depth knowledge of the local wildlife, these guides can take you on thrilling excursions that follow the migration route, ensuring that you don’t miss out on any key moments. From the sheer number of animals crossing the plains to the dramatic river crossings where predators lie in wait, these drives provide a front-row seat to one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth.
The guides also lead walking safaris, giving you the chance to explore the African bush at ground level. These walks are perfect for guests who want a more intimate and educational safari experience, learning about the smaller, often overlooked aspects of the ecosystem, from plants and insects to tracks and birdlife.
Wildlife Encounters
The main attraction at Migration Expeditions Camp is undoubtedly the Great Migration itself. For a few months each year, guests have the opportunity to witness millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles moving across the plains, driven by the rhythms of nature. The dramatic river crossings, where herds brave crocodile-infested waters in their desperate bid for greener pastures, are one of the most memorable aspects of the migration.
But it’s not just about the migration. The Serengeti and Masai Mara are home to an incredible diversity of wildlife. Predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards stalk the plains, while elephants, giraffes, and buffalo roam freely. Guests at Migration Expeditions Camp are guaranteed to encounter Africa’s Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos—on every game drive.
Dining in the Wild
Even though you’re deep in the African wilderness, Migration Expeditions Camp provides delicious meals that enhance the safari experience. Guests can enjoy freshly prepared dishes made from local ingredients, with an emphasis on sustainable, organic farming. Meals are served in the camp’s spacious dining area, where guests can enjoy their food while taking in the sounds of the surrounding bush. For a more intimate experience, dinners can also be arranged in the bush, under the stars, offering a memorable end to a thrilling day of safari.
Best Time to Visit Migration Expeditions Camp
The best time to visit Migration Expeditions Camp depends on the movement of the Great Migration. From July to October, herds cross the Mara River—an iconic event that draws wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. During these months, dry weather improves game viewing and enhances your chances of seeing dramatic river crossings.
For a quieter experience, visit between January and March, when wildebeests give birth in the southern Serengeti. This calving season offers rich predator-prey interactions and vibrant wildlife activity. With fewer crowds and clear skies, this period delivers a more serene safari without sacrificing sightings.

Migration Expeditions Camp runs with a clear focus on sustainability. The camp uses solar power for lighting and water heating. It handles waste through eco-friendly systems and follows strict environmental guidelines.
The team partners with local communities and conservation groups to protect the Great Migration and the animals it supports. A portion of every booking goes to wildlife conservation and community development projects. These funds support anti-poaching patrols, habitat protection, and educational programs for nearby villages.
