Baobab Mara Tented Camp

🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Baobab Mara Tented Camp is an upper mid-range seasonal camp in the North Serengeti, near Kogatende, positioned for the famed Mara River crossings (July–October). It appeals to travelers who want a straightforward but comfortable camp close to the action, with canvas authenticity and the flexibility to spend full days at the riverbanks waiting for the migration to move.

Pricing: typically $480–$520 per double in high season; around $290–$310 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Kon Tiki Kogatende Migration Camp (upper mid-range; similarly mobile, slightly lower rates) and Untamed Migration Camp North Serengeti (upper mid-range; flexible repositioning). Step up: Lemala Mara Tented Camp (luxury; closer guiding focus, higher finish). Step down: Mara Kati Kati Tented Camp by TWC (mid-range; simpler tents, good dawn access).

Safari context: This is river-crossing country—game drives require patience and readiness, but few experiences match a herd plunging into crocodile-infested waters.
