The calving season - ultimate Serengeti migration safari
The Serengeti
migration is arguably the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet. Its
magnificence makes it very popular and to view it in isolation is increasingly
difficult. When the herds reach the far South-East of the eco-system, at the
start of the new year, it is still possible. The Bush Rover camp sits hidden by
a ring of woodland, overlooking a magnificent bowl of grassland which
constantly fills and empties with wildlife. Here, it is still possible to drive
out onto the nearby plains and encounter no other vehicle, yet be surrounded by
vast herds.
The Bush Rover
Migration camp is an award-winning camp made up of just six Land Rover suites
that each open up as graceful as a swallow-tail into unique and beautiful safari
accommodation spacious, raised high above the animal-scape below and complete
with all creature comforts including a bath tub! These suites get to
parts others cannot reach and pride themselves on getting to the heart of the
great wildebeest migration but away from the crowds. They are not a typical
rooftop adaption and will certainly be the most comfortable Land Rovers you
ever stay in. Immerse yourself in the
very best of Tanzania’s wildlife from the balcony sofa of a Bush Rover suite
with champagne in hand. It’s hard to imagine any safari accommodation
that gets closer to Tanzania’s wildlife without compromising on comfort.
The predators
DAY
05
The area of Kusini, at this time of year, is naturally a magnet for predators. The wildebeest and zebra herds inevitably attract lion prides which tend to hide out in ditches on the open plains, as do many hyenas. The stars of the show however, during the calving season in Kusini, are the cheetah. This place at this time, offers probably the best cheetah viewing anywhere in Africa. They use the cover on the edge of woodland belts to look out over the wildebeest-covered plains and find young calves to target.
the small stuff
DAY
06
Amongst the great drama of the births, the predations and the sheer
dazzling numbers of animals to behold, there is another fascinating world, closer
to the ground. At this time of year, the ground is often alive with dung
beetles, doggedly rolling their dung balls to burial sites. Mongooses scurry
about their business and rare honey badgers are often out at dawn.

The multi award-winning Bush Rover camp is simply one of a kind. It sits at the very heart of the great migration as the vast herds moves around the Serengeti and it affords breath-taking elevated views from possibly the most innovative safari accommodation in Africa.
ExploreMake your Tanzania safari even more special by adding on some days at one of Tanzania’s incredible beach destinations. Perhaps the most famous is the beautiful spice island of Zanzibar with world-class beaches and diving. However, there are some hidden gems off the beaten track with few human prints left on the deserted white-sand beaches like stunning Saadani national park, where the bush meets the beach. This is a truly secret palm fringed hideaway.
Zanzibar
Few destinations have such an evocative name as Zanzibar. Few know that this Indian Ocean holiday island is in Tanzania and is the perfect complement to any Tanzania safari where you want to mix safari and beach. The UNESCO world-heritage site of historic Stone Town is a heady mix of cultures from Arabia and India with stunning architectural remnants and superb bazaars. This town has its own annual music and film festivals which attract acts and visitors from around the world. From here, head to the north or east coast to relax on world-class beaches and indulge in some fabulous diving and water sports from The Zanzibari boutique hotel.
Safari & Beach
Fancy relaxing at the beach following your Tanzania safari but want something away from it all? Then choose Saadani National Park, the only coastal wildlife park in Tanzania where the bush meets the beach. A place where you can swim in the Indian ocean looking back at vervet monkey and surrounding bush full of wildlife and even a marine park where green turtles hatch. Head out on game drive or foot and boat safari in the morning and spend the afternoon on a stunning deserted beach back at Simply Saadani Camp.
