Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp

Overview

About Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp

A classic mobile tented camp that follows the wildebeest herds, Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp keeps you close to the action—calving on the southern plains, river crossings up north, and plenty in between. It’s purposely small and low‑impact, trading resort frills for superb guiding, warm service, and that deep‑in‑the‑bush feel guests rave about.

Why stop

Moves with the Great Migration for front‑row wildlife viewing
Expert guiding with shared or private game drives
Only six tents (plus a family tent) for an intimate feel

Heads up

Bucket showers instead of fully plumbed bathrooms
Camp location shifts; logistics and activities vary by season

Plan your stop

Before you go

Best time to visit

Because the camp moves to match the herds, aligning your dates with its position is key.

Calving spectacle: late Feb–early Mar on the short‑grass plains.
River crossings: aim for late Jul–Sep up north.
Fewer people and moody skies: the green season (late Nov–May).

Camp vibe & amenities

Six Meru‑style tents (including a family setup) balance comfort with a light footprint. Expect en‑suite bucket showers with hot water on request and eco‑flush toilets, comfortable beds, and a private sitting area to soak up the views. The open‑sided lounge/bar, indoor–outdoor dining, firepit for sundowners, and a small library round out camp life. Children 8+ are welcome.

Recent trip reports call out consistently strong big‑game viewing: high chances for lion and elephant; near‑certain for wildebeest, zebra, and giraffe; good odds for leopard; cheetah seen regularly but less frequently. As always, sightings hinge on month and location.

PracticalitiesThe nearest airstrip depends on the camp’s current location.

The nearest airstrip depends on the camp’s current location. Safe, purified drinking water is provided (avoid tap water). Typical bush‑flight luggage limits are around 15 kg per person in soft‑sided bags. If you like intimate camps and don’t mind bucket showers, this is a standout choice; if you want permanent‑lodge extras like a pool or spa, look elsewhere.
