Top 5 tented migration camps in Tanzania

Kichakani is the tented camp in the Sanctuary Collection. The name ‘Kichakani’ translates to ‘in the bush’ in Swahili – the local and most commonly used language in Tanzania. The camp is formed of 10 luxury tented rooms, each with ensuite bathrooms featuring the classic bucket shower. The tents look out to the Serengeti plains – a landscape home to an abundance of resident wildlife including elephants, buffalo, big cats, and antelope aplenty. This moveable camp is located in northern Serengeti between June and October, and then the southern Serengeti from December to March. 

This luxury tented camp is part of the Nomad portfolio, offering an authentic safari experience in the heart of the Serengeti National Park. With exceptional service and guiding, this canvas tented camp offers a home-from-home experience. The 6 safari tents are environmentally conscious and have been designed for minimal environmental impact. For those who are doing a northern Tanzania circuit, it’s worth combining the other Nomad properties to take advantage of a circuit discount. These sister properties include Nomad Lamai in northern Serengeti, Kuro Camp in Tarangire National Park, and Entamanu Camp in the Ngorongoro Crater. 

Another of the Asilia portfolio is Ubuntu Migration Camp. This tented camp moves across the Serengeti National Park, following the colossal herds of wildebeest and zebra. The camp is made of 8 tented rooms, which offers a close-knit safari experience. The ensuite bathrooms feature hot-water safari bucket showers. When located in northern Serengeti, you will have the opportunity to see a famous river crossing, as well as look across to Kenya’s Masai Mara.
