Tanzania Bush Camps Kogatende

🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Tanzania Bush Camps Kogatende is a mid-range seasonal camp in the North Serengeti, set up Jul–Oct to follow the migration and river crossings. It’s for budget-conscious migration chasers who want an authentic canvas experience without splurging on luxury. While basic in amenities, its prime position makes it a cost-effective way to witness the Mara River spectacle.

Pricing: typically $300–$330 per double in high season; around $180–$200 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; rustic, similar feel) and Baobab Mara (upper mid-range; slightly higher comfort). Step up: Lemala Mara (luxury; polished, closer to river). Step down: Mara Pure Migration (mid-range; simpler, same focus).

Safari context: Being near Kogatende ensures short transfers to crossings—vital when wildebeest movements are unpredictable.

Rooms

Meru-style tents with beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms (flush toilets, bucket showers). Shared mess tent, fire pit, and solar/generator lighting. Rustic, small-scale atmosphere.

Meals

Meals are straightforward: early teas/coffees, picnic breakfasts, packed lunches, and communal plated dinners. Focus on hearty safari staples.
