Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp stands as one of the most strategically positioned luxury camps in the northern Serengeti, offering discerning travelers front-row access to the Great Migration while delivering the refined hospitality that has made the Elewana Collection a trusted name in East African safaris. For travelers considering a Tanzania safari combined with a Kenya beach or wildlife extension, this camp represents an exceptional choice that pairs perfectly with its sister properties across the border.

Why Choose Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp

• Prime Location in the Migration Corridor:-Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp is nestled into a rocky outcrop overlooking the northern Serengeti valley floor, with striking views over the Grumeti River and the surrounding plains . This location is no accident—it places guests directly in the path of the Great Migration from approximately July through November, when over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles traverse the region in search of fresh grazing . The camp’s elevated position means wildlife viewing begins from your private verandah, with hippos often audible from the river below and animals frequently wandering through camp .
• Elewana Collection Pedigree:-Elewana Collection operates 16 luxury camps, lodges, and beach retreats across Tanzania and Kenya, known for combining high standards of luxury with scenic settings and responsible tourism practices . The brand supports conservation and community development through The Land & Life Foundation and the Wildlife Warrior Program, which educates younger generations about conservation . Choosing Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp means your stay contributes to these initiatives while delivering the quality and service standards that define the collection.

Accommodation and Amenities

• Luxurious Tented Suites:-The camp features 20 spacious tented rooms, all raised on stilts and positioned at the base of the hill, each with a private wooden deck offering panoramic views of the surrounding bush . Inside, guests find double or twin beds, writing desks, seating areas with leather chairs, and en-suite facilities comprising twin washbasins, walk-in showers, and flush toilets . Bathrobes and slippers are provided, along with fans and internal telephones .
• Communal Facilities:-The canvas-and-stone split-level main lodge sits at the highest point of the site, housing a lounge with leather seating, Persian rugs, and wildlife artwork, alongside a dining room with separate tables . Below the lounge, the swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers and offers a refreshing respite between game drives . A fire-pit on a lower level provides the classic safari atmosphere for evening sundowners and storytelling .

Safari Activities and Wildlife Viewing

• Game Drives:-Morning and afternoon game drives form the core of the safari experience at Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp. From July through November, drives focus on the Great Migration, with opportunities to witness the dramatic river crossings of the Grumeti and Mara rivers . Even outside peak migration months, wildlife viewing remains exceptional, with all Big Five—lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo—plus cheetah, hyena, jackal, giraffe, hippos, and hundreds of bird species present in the region .
• Hot Air Balloon Safaris:-For a truly unforgettable perspective, hot air balloon safaris are available at additional cost, launching at dawn for approximately one hour of drifting over the Serengeti’s sprawling plains. The experience concludes with a celebratory bush breakfast on the savanna before returning to camp .
• Family-Friendly Experiences:-Elewana Collection has expanded family programming across its properties, with children aged four and above receiving a Wildlife Warrior backpack containing activity materials . At select camps, young guests can participate in spear-making lessons, garden-to-table culinary experiences, and evening wildlife education activities . Flexible dining times, children’s menus, and adaptable game drives make Elewana properties well-suited to multigenerational safari travel .

Best Time to Visit

• July–November: Prime Migration Season:-This is when the Great Migration is typically present in the northern Serengeti around Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp. The herds move through the region, crossing the Grumeti and Mara rivers, attracting predators and creating exceptional game viewing .
• December–March: Calving Season in the South:-During these months, the migration moves to the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region for calving. While Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp remains open and offers excellent resident wildlife viewing, travelers specifically seeking the migration should consider its sister camp, Serengeti Pioneer Camp, in the park’s south region .
• April–May: Green Season:-The wetter months bring lush landscapes, fewer visitors, and more peaceful safari conditions. While river crossings are unlikely, the scenery is spectacular and the camp offers excellent value .

Practical Information

• Access:-Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp is accessed via a 40-minute road transfer from Lobo Airstrip, with flights available from Arusha Airport through several operators .
• What’s Included:-Accommodation can be booked on a full-board basis or as part of a game package. Both options include all meals, a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and laundry service. The game package additionally includes transfers between camp and Lobo Airstrip and all safari activities except hot air balloon rides .
• Child Policy:-Children of all ages are welcome at the property . Elewana Collection properties offer family-specific amenities including bed rails and child-friendly toilet seats, with game drives adaptable around sleep schedules and individual needs .
