Private Serengeti experience – Very best of the great migration
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.
Wildebeest-fest
DAY
05
Each season offers a different experience. December to March, whilst in the South, the herds are calving and hundreds of thousands of young are born. July to October the animals congregate in the North, regularly crossing the Mara river in Tanzania. When the river is high, these crossings become a spectacular and terrifying undertaking with many animals drowning. In the Western Corridor, in June and early July, lines of wildebeest can be seen heading from South to North, crossing the Grumeti river on the way.
Hunting Crocodiles
DAY
06
All
the water courses of the Serengeti contain large numbers of hippos and crocs;
some of the latter are huge and spend most of the year hidden in caves and
crevices by the river side. When the Migration crosses each of the main rivers,
the Mbalangeti, the Grumeti and the Mara (in particular), these giants slide
into the water for a short season of plenty. Many wildebeest are attacked by
crocodiles when they cross but many more are drowned in the stampede and the
crocs simply drag the carcasses to the water’s edge to feed.
Browse a selection of hotels, for a flavour of where you stay on this trip.
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.
