Migration Camp is a permanent tented camp located in the Lobo area of the Northern part of the Serengeti. It's a good area for game - plenty of elephant, cats etc in this part of the Serengeti - but don't be confused by the name.
There are times at when the wildebeest migration passes through this neck of the woods, but, as you'd expect with a migration, it…well…migrates so there are times when the area will be wildebeest-free. Migration is owned by ‘Elewana Africa' which is part of Sopa lodges. Although it's not a large camp by Sopa's standards, with 20 large tents you shouldn't expect this to be quite as intimate as some of the smaller tented camps in the Serengeti.
This is by no means a reason not to visit, but its worth understanding that you wont have the same level of intimacy. The tents are substantially built and furnished - solid wooden doors with glass windows - and the interiors are well finished with large leather armchairs, writing desks and fabulous king sized beds - these tents are really more akin to being 'canvas rooms' rather than mere 'tents'. Each room has an ensuite bathroom and these, with their stone walls, thatched roofs and flush loos feel like pretty permanent fixtures. The main sitting area is also large and airy and is decked out with the same large leather sofas and chairs.
If the more Spartan facilities of some of the more rarefied tented camps don't float your boat, then Migration is a good, if slightly less charming, alternative.

The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. Even if you exclude the Wildebeest Migration with its 1.5 million odd animals, the proliferation of animal life in the Serengeti defies belief. In the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We’d advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. Find out when the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration happens. Read more?
