This mobile camp is located on the open plains of the Serengeti and home to the Great Migration. As Simbavati Migration camp moves locations so as to be close to the Wildebeest herds, the camp will either be in the north on the Mara River (June through November) or in the south on the Ndutu Plains (December through March). Either location is incredible and will have over 2 million migratory animals in relatively close proximity. The camp itself is beautifully furnished, giving you a greater sense of being close to nature. The service is incredible and the camp is piped with hot water and has fully working bathrooms.
