Serengeti Tanzania
Wilderness Usawa Serengeti
Wilderness Usawa Serengeti is a true luxury mobile camp that follows the Great Wildebeest Migration and weather patterns, to provide the very best wildlife experience for witnessing the spectacle in Tanzania. As the seasonal migration sweeps across the Serengeti, Wilderness Usawa strategically establishes two camps in prime locations. Mobile yet utterly luxurious, Wilderness Usawa Serengeti provides front-row seats to the action without minimizing any comfort. Positioned close to the migratory paths but away from crowded tourist hubs, the camp's exquisite design and thoughtful décor enhance the remote and exclusive East African experience we offer our guests.
Wilderness Usawa Serengeti welcomes children aged six and above, with those under 16 required to share a tent with an adult. For families with children younger than six, exclusive use of the camp must be booked.
As one of Africa's seven natural wonders, Serengeti hosts the continent's most mesmerizing wildlife spectacle: the Great Migration. Witness the epic journey of two million wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other plains game in search of fresh grazing and water. Guided by the whims of unpredictable rains, this ever-moving mass migrates from the southern plains northward across the park, before returning southward again—breeding and birthing along their path. With over 300,000 new lives and numerous perilous river crossings, the plains become a constant theater of predator-prey interactions, offering a feast for lions, hyenas, and crocodiles.
MIGRATION SAFARI DIARIES
The thunderous rhythm of thousands of hooves pounding across vast plains. The horizon stretches infinitely over Serengeti grasslands teeming with life — herds of wildebeest and zebra moving in unison. Suddenly, a cloud of dust erupts, an urgent alarm echoes, and the herd scatters: lions are on the prowl. Feel the exhilaration of the chase, the moment of impact, the ensuing feast — all concluding as swiftly as it began, restoring balance to the wild. This is the unfolding spectacle of the Serengeti.
Welcome to nature's grandest theatre.

GREAT MIGRATION
TWO MILLION ANIMALS, OVER SIX HUNDRED MILES: COUNTLESS UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS. As one of Africa's seven natural wonders, Serengeti National Park hosts the continent's most mesmerizing wildlife spectacle: the Great Migration. Spanning over 9,000 square miles, the Serengeti witnesses the epic journey of two million wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other plains game in search of fresh grazing and water. Guided by the whims of unpredictable rains, this ever-moving mass migrates from the southern plains northward across the park, before returning southward again — breeding and birthing along their path. With over 300,000 new lives and numerous perilous river crossings, the plains become a constant theater of predator-prey interactions, offering a feast for lions, hyenas, and crocodiles.
While wildebeest dominate the plains, the Serengeti boasts remarkable biodiversity, including approximately 29 herbivore species such as elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos. This wealth of prey draws in 28 predator species, both large and small, setting the stage for dramatic encounters in the open savannah. Lion prides disrupt the herds, effortlessly bringing down wildebeest. Cheetahs target the swift Thomson's gazelles, and crocodiles lie in wait for the bold — the first to brave the river crossings. This is wildlife on an unparalleled scale — a phenomenon unmatched anywhere else on the planet.
Situated within the Serengeti's designated walking zones, our camp locations offer the unique opportunity for guided walks starting right from your doorstep. Our exceptionally knowledgeable and expertly trained Wilderness guides curate an unforgettable Serengeti experience.
Among the over 500 bird species in the park, notable endemics include the grey-breasted spurfowl, Schalow’s wheatear, red-throated tit, rufous-tailed weaver, grey-crested helmetshrike, Schalow’s turaco, and the silverbird.
By far the finest Migration experience in Tanzania
