Nyikani Migration Camp Kogatende

🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Nyikani Migration Camp Kogatende is a mid-range seasonal camp in the North Serengeti, open Jul–Oct to follow the Mara River crossings. It’s built for adventurous travelers who want affordability while staying close to the migration drama. Its rustic setup is outweighed by the priceless advantage of location near multiple crossing points.

Pricing: typically $350–$380 per double in high season; around $200–$220 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Tanzania Bush Camps Kogatende (mid-range; similar rustic style) and Mara Pure Migration (mid-range; similar cost). Step up: Lemala Mara (luxury; polished tented). Step down: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; very rustic).

Safari context: Being close to Kogatende minimizes transfer times during the unpredictable crossing season.
