Siringit Migration Camp is a seasonal camp that moves between two sites. From mid-December to the end of March it stands near Ndutu on the southern Serengeti plains, about 5 minutes from Ndutu airstrip, with eight tents. From June to October it moves to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti, about 10 minutes from Kogatende airstrip, with ten tents.
The camp opened in August 2021 and is part of the Siringit Collection, a small group of privately owned camps in northern Tanzania and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Siringit says the canvas tents were made in Tanzania from locally sourced and recycled materials, with the panels cut and stitched by hand.
We can book Siringit Migration Camp on its own, or as part of a private safari with your own vehicle and guide, the park fees and the rest of the route arranged in one quote.
What it's like
The tents are Bedouin-style canvas suites on raised platforms, open to the plains at Kogatende or towards Lake Ndutu in the south. Each sleeps two guests and has an en-suite bathroom with double basins and a flush toilet. Two tents connect into a family tent for two adults and two children.
Because the camp moves, it is simpler than a permanent lodge, but meals are not. Siringit says its menus were created for the collection by a Michelin-starred chef, and the camp sets up picnic lunches out on the plains for full-day drives and sundowners on the banks of the Mara River or the shore of Lake Ndutu. At Kogatende the camp can also arrange a breakfast, lunch or sundowner on the Mara riverbank.
Balloon flights, spa treatments in your tent and birdwatching can be added. On our safaris your game drives are with your own private guide and vehicle.
Getting there
Times are best estimates. Both sites are far from tarmac, so many guests fly one way. We can build the route around a flight in or out of Ndutu or Kogatende.
Park fees
Both sites are inside protected areas, so park entry fees and a nightly fee apply, and the camp's rates do not include them. The Ndutu area lies on the border between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park, so the fees depend on where the camp stands; at Kogatende, Serengeti National Park fees apply. We show these as separate lines in your quote, and current figures are on our park fees page. See Tanzania park fees.
Who it suits
A good fit for
- The calving season at Ndutu, from January to March
- The northern Serengeti and the Mara River from July to October
- Guests who want a camp that feels close to the plains
- Families, with the family tent
Look elsewhere for
- Travellers who want solid walls and a pool, as this is a mobile tented camp
- Dates in April, May or November, when the camp is between sites
When to go
At Ndutu the camp is open in the months when the wildebeest herds usually graze the southern plains and give birth, with calving usually at its height in February. At Kogatende it is open in the months when the herds are usually in the north, near the Mara River. River crossings depend on the rain and vary from year to year, so they cannot be timed in advance.
