Ole Serai Luxury Camp - Kogatende

🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Kogatende is a luxury tented camp in the North Serengeti, positioned for prime access to Mara River crossings between Jul–Oct. It’s for travelers who want a comfortable but not ultra-extravagant base near the action. Its polished service and well-fitted tents make it appealing to couples, families, and groups chasing migration drama while preferring lodge comforts over rustic setups.

Pricing: typically $1,450–$1,500 per double in high season; around $870–$900 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Lemala Mara (luxury; equally polished, riverside access) and Mara Mara Tented Lodge (luxury; lodge-style, northern Serengeti). Step up: Lemala Kuria Hills (premium luxury; private villas with pools). Step down: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; rustic, functional).

Safari context: Being close to Kogatende minimizes travel to river crossings, vital for unpredictable migration events.
