Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
At Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp, we have 10 tents that remain mobile throughout the year, and may vary slightly depending on seasonal reservation requirements and location of the wildebeest migration. We endeavor to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, whilst being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism.
From 01 June – 31 October, Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp is located at Kogatende, in the far northern areas of the Serengeti. This puts us in a great position to game drive in the Kogatende area and to the Mara, Sand and Bologonja Rivers in the hope of gaining a view as the herds run the gauntlet of crocodiles as they cross the rivers. This is typically ideal, especially between mid-July and mid-September each year.
This traditional safari style accommodation creates an affordable and accessible opportunity to witness one of the greatest shows on Earth

Each tent is 12m long by 4m wide made from well known heavy duty safari rip-stop canvas made locally at Morogoro, southern Tanzania, plus the additional cooling feature of shade-clothing over the entire tent. You are met at the entrance by a patio area with chairs and side tables for relaxing when you have a moment. The front of the tents zips fully open, including a layer of mosquito netting and the rip-stop canvas (which zips completely closed) with both layers. Once you step into the tent into the bedroom area, you will see an arrangement of handmade furniture like arm chair and footrest, carpeting, coffee station / desk, luggage racks, an umbrella, torch/whistle/camp information folder, radio call, bedside tables with lamps, and beds (depending on room configuration). All the fittings depict colours in natural and African-inspired tones to adhere to the incredible area where we are located. We offer double (even a honeymoon option), twin, single, triple and family (quad) tents and each bed is fully netted for custom made protection from mosquitoes and insects. The beds are fitted with white, cotton sheets, double pillows, duvets, throw cushions and bed runners for your comfort.
The tents have netted windows down each side of the tent which you can fully open with only the canvas remaining at all times with the mosquito netting stitched strongly into the actual tent. Then comes the bathroom area, which can be accessed directly from the bedroom with a separate doorway. Once inside, there is a bathroom stand with a ceramic wash basin with running water via stylish taps, a mirror, a supply of natural-based bathroom products, and linen to suit. This area also displays a woven grass mat, clothes rack and safety deposit box. Within this area, there are additional toilet and shower areas for privacy. Inside the toilet area is a ceramic flushing toilet, encased in a wooden frame for stability. Inside the shower area, is a stand for washing behind a shower curtain under a 20 litre PVC bucket erected on a pulley system as required. From the entrance of the bedroom and onto the bathroom, each tent is fitted with an extensive solar lighting system for your convenience.
Two large tents make up the communal areas at Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp in the Kogatende location. The only difference being that in the north, the communal areas face west for those magnificent fireball sunsets.
Camp operates on solar power with backup generator. Limited local water supply & 40L bucket showers.Wi-Fi is available in main areas. The four tents closest to the main area have battery charging facilities. Laundry available, tip only system.

Family Safaris (included in the Game Package rate)
The adventure starts here! Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp welcomes children 6 years and over. We guarantee a private safari vehicle to families of 4 more during the low season, but during high season families with children under 12 are obliged to use a private game-viewing vehicle at extra cost. Our bush guides have a wealth of insightful experience, and they will fascinate you and your children with bush-wise facts, wildlife know-how, games, local customs and incredible stories of life in the wilderness.
Balloon Safaris (optional extra)
Balloon safaris are a romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa, as you silently fly over the plains teeming with herds of wildlife in the early morning. Typically, a balloon safari begins around 6 am and lasts for around 1-2 hours. Balloon safaris in the Serengeti take off from designated sites in the nearby Seronera area. The safari is followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush, a fitting end to a memorable flight in the wild.
