Ikuka Safari Camp is a sophisticated yet elegantly modest establishment located in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park, managed by safari specialists and engaged proprietors Mark and Chloe Sheridan Johnson, alongside an exceptional crew. From a high vantage point on the Ikuka escarpment, the vistas are truly stunning, and it is but a little drive from the park’s premier wildlife-viewing zones.
Kuro Tarangire Treetops
Kuro, situated along the Tarangire River, offers an excellent perspective for observing the indigenous fauna as it traverses the park from the western hills to the eastern wetlands. You may observe the animals traversing the riverine boundary, extending from north to south. There are plenty spectacular vistas here!

Lamai Serengeti is situated in a prime location in the northern Serengeti, just a few kilometres from the Mara River, where the dramatic event of the Great Wildebeest Migration takes place annually. Individuals seeking to observe the crossings will be rewarded, while the wildlife during other months remains remarkable, rendering Lamai an excellent choice (except the latter half of March and the entirety of April and May, when it is closed for the rainy season). Operated by Nomad Tanzania.
Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge
Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is an exceptional establishment where private pools are standard, and the hospitality experience is comparable to the safari experience itself. Adjacent to the Mara River, which delineates the Serengeti from Kenya’s Maasai Mara, this lodge serves as an excellent choice for observing the Great wildebeest migration from July to October, catering to visitors who prefer a more conventional accommodation over the adventurous tented mobile camps.

Situated in the centre Serengeti, Lemala Nanyukie offers luxurious accommodations for travelers in the magnificent national park. This location is renowned for its abundant populations of wild cats and serves as a venue for the Great Wildebeest Migration from November to January.
