Access & Location:

The Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp relocates between two sites inside the Serengeti habitat. It is situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area from December to March and utilises Ndutu airstrip. From June to October, the camp is situated in the northern Serengeti, with Kogatende as the nearest access point. Guests typically travel via small aero plane from Arusha or Dar es Salaam, then embarking on a 45-minute game drive to the camp.

Accommodation & Facilities At Nasikia Migration Camp

Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp provides ten solar-powered canvas tents equipped with zip closures and fly sheets, subject to modest variations based on visitor occupancy. Each tent features an additional protective mesh covering at the entrance to deter insects while allowing airflow. A modest seating space is located at the entry, featuring a pair of camp chairs and a tiny refreshments table, perfect for enjoying the environment between game-viewing activities. The interior features a minimalist yet pleasant environment, equipped with double or twin beds, bedside tables with reading lamps, baggage racks, and an armchair. The windows are fitted with roll-up canvas to obscure light at night, and some are equipped with retractable curtains. Supplementary facilities comprise mosquito nets, umbrellas, flashlights, and whistles. Every tent features an en-suite bathroom equipped with distinct shower and flush toilet compartments, basins accompanied by overhead mirrors, a clothes rack and a safety deposit box. One of the flats is designated for familial use and comprises two bedrooms and a communal bathroom.

Two Meru-style communal mess tents feature a guest lounge equipped with a bar, a charging station and Wi-Fi, beside an adjacent dining tent where guests may opt for individual tables or communal dining. Additionally, one might choose to dine al fresco beneath the stars, enveloped by the sounds of the Serengeti. In front of the mess tents, a warming campfire is available for guests to congregate for pre-dinner beverages and early morning coffee prior to embarking on game drives.

Activities At Nasikia Migration Camp

The endeavours at Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp are focused on wildlife observation in Serengeti National Park, specifically tracking the Great Migration herds.

• Game drives: Game drives are conducted by knowledgeable guides and occur in the morning and late afternoon. The Serengeti habitat sustains an exceptional wildlife population, encompassing all Big Five species. From June onwards, one can anticipate witnessing substantial herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle migrating northward towards the Mara River. In December, the herds migrate to the Ndutu region, inhabiting the short-grass plains of southern Serengeti until March. The abundance of herbivores inherently draws several predators year-round, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as a variety of smaller species, notably diverse avian life. We may also provide picnic lunches for individuals desiring to spend an entire day observing wildlife.
• Walking safaris: Due to Nasikia’s location within Serengeti National Park, direct walking from the camp is not feasible. Nonetheless, with advance notification, we can organise brief nature hikes led by an armed ranger. The minimum age for participation in walking activities is 12 years.
• Hot air ballooning: Hot air balloons offer a unique opportunity to ascend into the skies and float above the magnificent Serengeti grasslands. The balloon ascends before sunrise, providing a minimum of one hour in the air to survey the Serengeti and its fauna prior to descending for a sumptuous meal.

Note: This property is unfenced and situated in a wildlife region, allowing huge and potentially hazardous animals to traverse the vicinity. If you want to remain here, remain vigilant while traversing the camp and solicit a staff member to accompany you if you have any apprehensions. All guests are accompanied after dusk as a standard procedure.

Serengeti Safaris

The Serengeti, renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration, is also the habitat of the Big 5. This annual show involves millions of wildebeest, accompanied by gazelles and zebras, migrating in search of greener pastures while evading predators.

Their circuitous trip proceeds south into the Serengeti, then westward, subsequently north into the Maasai Mara, before returning to the origin. Predators stealthily follow, seizing opportunities to strike, rendering this voyage replete with thrilling wildlife encounters.

The Serengeti is poised for dramatic events, featuring diverse terrain that includes volcanic grasslands, expansive plains, rocky outcrops, meandering rivers, and woodlands.
