Overview

The Wildebeest Migration ranks as one of the most implausible natural sights on Earth and features on many a safari-goers’ ultimate bucket list. One of the best ways of ensuring great sightings of the passing gnu, gazelles and zebra is by joining a movable camp that occasionally moves to always be in closeness to the herds. Kimondo Migration Camp is pitched in the famous Lamai Wedge of the northern Serengeti from July to November before moving to near Kusini in the south from December to March. In this way, you are always near the action like rutting, mating, river crossings or birthing. The Lamai Wedge is situated between the Mara River and the Kenyan border, making a natural game ‘hotspot’. In the south, the camp is set up in a natural amphitheater with outstanding views of a popular waterhole.

Highlights

Dining

Your guide awakens you each morning with a flask of tea or coffee and biscuits before you set off at sunrise for a game drive. Upon your mid-morning return, a collection of delicious and wholesome choices awaits you for a hearty brunch. Spend a soothing afternoon in the lounge or on your verandah before high tea is served. The alluring delicacies on offer will fortify you for the afternoon’s excitement, more than enough to keep you going until sunset drinks while out on your game drive. The early evening is given over to cocktails and discussions of the day’s events before indulging in a sumptuous 3-course dinner served in the dining room or under the stars. Enjoy a fireside cognac and the extravagance of the Milky Way before slipping under the covers, lulled to sleep by the sounds of the African night.
