Build a 4-Day safari tour around resident cats in Central Serengeti and river country in the North Serengeti—crossing season Jul–Oct. Experience the thrill of being close to the action, especially during the Great Wildebeest Migration, while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. Start your adventure in the Mara Pure Migration Tented Camp, a seasonal camp set up to follow the wildebeest crossings. Here, you’ll enjoy simple yet hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, all served in a rustic setting that emphasizes comfort without extravagance.

Your tent is a Meru-style canvas with real beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms featuring flush toilets and bucket showers. The shared mess tent and campfire create a warm, communal atmosphere, perfect for sharing stories after a day of exploration. With quick access to the Mara River crossings—just 15 to 40 minutes away—you'll maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

Next, you’ll head to the Osero Serengeti Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where the focus is on affordability and wildlife proximity. This camp is ideal for families and groups looking for a down-to-earth safari experience. Meals here are hearty and social, with a focus on filling dishes that bring everyone together. Your Meru-style tent offers similar comforts, ensuring a restful night after a day spent tracking the resident herds and predators.

Access to both camps is convenient, with the Kogatende Airstrip being just a short flight from Arusha, allowing you to spend more time in the parks and less time traveling. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience the wonders of the Serengeti and its incredible wildlife.
