Mbuzi mawe tented camp
A quiet camp inside the migration's path
The camp sits directly on one of the Serengeti's principal migration corridors, so for much of the year the plains around it are moving with wildebeest, zebra and gazelle — and the predators that follow them. Days here are built around game drives, guided walks and slow evenings; nights end with a fire, a cold drink, and the sound of the bush right outside your tent.
Guarded by granite, open to the plains
Mbuzi Mawe takes its name from the Swahili for “rock goat” — the klipspringer antelope that lives on the granite boulders around camp. It sits roughly 40km north of Seronera, the Serengeti's central hub, off the main road toward the northern park — close enough for an easy transfer, far enough to feel genuinely away from the main tourist flow.
Because it straddles a major wildebeest and zebra corridor, the camp is especially well placed during the migration's two big pushes: north through the western corridor around March–April, and south again around November–January. Outside those windows, resident lion, elephant, giraffe and buffalo keep the plains busy year-round.

Complimentary wireless internet reaches each tent and the communal areas, so you can stay in touch without it taking over the trip.
À la carte breakfast and lunch, a table d'hôte dinner menu, and a central bar for a drink before the fire.
Meals set out on the plains or by a campfire — a five-course bush dinner is one of the camp's signature evenings.
Evening cocktails served out on the rocks, in the tradition of the earliest 1920s safaris.
Hot water throughout the tents runs on the camp's thermal solar system, part of Serena's wider sustainability program.

Staff on hand around the clock for early game-drive starts, late arrivals, or anything you need in between.
