Nomad's Moru Seasonal Camp is located in the southwestern area of the Serengeti. As the southern plains begin to dry up towards the end of May, the wildebeest begin to leave their southern range and head north. This time coincides with the rut - a time characterised by herds of purposeful and demure-looking cow wildebeest trying desparatley to ignore the farcical noise and cavorting of their menfolk.

This is a time when the herds hed through Moru Kopjes in the southwestern Serengeti. Moru is not only a beautiful and unusual little corner of this park, but also somewhere to see the very good resident game, most particularly cats - lion, leopard and even the smaller cats like Caracal - for which this area is known.
This luxury mobile safari camp moves seasonally around the Serengeti ecosystem shadowing the Serengeti wildebeest migration. Serengeti Safari Camp caters for up to 16 people at a time with one of Nomad Tanzania's excellent private vehicle and safari guides as standard for each group.
The camp not only offers one of the best chances of finding the wildebeest migration away from the crowds, but is also superbly comfortable with first class food. It's also one of the best ways to access to some remote and little visited areas of the Serengeti ecosystem that are well out of reach of the permanent safari lodges.
While the camp is shared by a maximum of 16 guests at one time, each group, whether you're a couple or a larger group, have a private vehicle and guide throughout the safari. This means you have full flexibility in planning your safari activities with your guide to suit yourselves. Nomad supply lavish picnics to be taken on all-day game drives, so you can choose to stay out all day some times, and return to camp for a lazy lunch and siesta on others.
The small crew of 4 - 6 Tanzanians who run the operation are friendly and efficient and look after your every need down to the smallest detail. In cold months you'll even find a hot water bottle in your bed when you turn in.
Location - Serengeti and Surrounding Areas
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. The proliferation of animal life here simply defies belief and 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. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
