With years of experience to our names, we have an eye for quirk and would prefer to offer you intelligent simplicity over impersonal luxury. We travel extensively in search of what’s really worth doing, rather than just what makes a good photograph.

The Serengeti Wildebeest Migration - River Crossings

these trips:
The scale of some wildlife spectacles makes them difficult to adequately describe. Witnessing tens of thousands of wildebeest in the northern Serengeti plunge off steep cliffs into the torrent of the Mara River to brave fearsome crocodiles and swim the 80 or so yards to the other bank, is one such event.
Seeing a crossing takes patience and luck, but our guides know which areas to visit and when. And amazingly this isn’t a one-off event. Between late July and early November, the herds - which in total number more than one and a half million animals – divide into smaller groups and make numerous crossings, defying Mara River crocs (and any notion of logic) in response to local showers.
What’s amazing is that the vast majority of animals make it across unscathed, but their troubles rarely end there; lion frequently wait in ambush to greet the swimmers. If you’re after an action packed safari, this is it.
River crossings take place between late July and October in the Northern Serengeti - to witness one takes a luck and a bit of patience, but it's something you'll never forget.
Nomad Tanzania’s new lodge Lamai Serengeti is a small intimate safari lodge located in amongst the large round boulders of the Kogakurjia Kopjes of the Northern Serengeti. This stunning spot, with huge views of the Serengeti towards the Mara River, is best known for the epic river crossings by the migrating wildebeest herds that take place here between July and October. It’s less known for the superb resident game that remains for the rest of the year after the migration circus has left town. Read more?
Our approach with the Light Mobile Camp has been to emphasize the ingredients that give a safari its unique flavour - an excellent guide, access to the best areas, great food and a comfortable camp – while minimizing the cost on things that most people can do with out in the context of a safari…namely the bling.

Rumour has it that Catherine Ronan used to be a spy. We find this slightly hard to believe as she loves nothing more than to divulge her travel secrets and infect other people with her enthusiasm.
