Wayo Serengeti Green Camp follows the migration from north to south in Serengeti National Park. The plains are where much of the migration activity takes place, from hundreds of thousands of births to impressive predator activity. Serengeti Green Camp is the ideal base for exploring the abundance of these plains. The camp has been redesigned to celebrate local cultures, and incorporates custom crafts from the area, showcasing innovative interior flair. Ten spacious tents open up for a full immersion into the landscape. The rooms are decked out in fresh cottons and linens, with soft lighting providing the perfect resting place between activities. Meals are simple yet sumptuous. Days are spent exploring the plains on game drives or opt for a walk from camp. INSIDER’S TIP: A full day’s walking tour from camp offers a thrilling level of adventure that you may just be looking for.

Imagine endless horizons, skies stretching over the grassland as far as the eye can see … Every species in the Serengeti lives in perfect harmony with the one beside it. It is this balance, ‘usawa’ in Kiswahili, that ensures this phenomenal ecosystem functions in perfect symbiosis. In northern Tanzania, Africa’s greatest spectacle unfolds. Two million wildebeest, zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, eland and other migratory animals graze, breed, and birth on the Serengeti’s plains; following the rains, moving as one. Prides of lion split the herds, taking down wildebeest and zebra. Cheetah chase down and tyre out gazelles while crocodiles prey on the brave; those who dare to cross the rivers first. This scale of wildlife, of predator-prey interaction is found nowhere else on Earth. Far from the crowds, Wilderness Usawa Serengeti's mobile camps are strategically located, moving to areas where the herds are as they follow the rain. With a number of sites available, positioned as close as is feasible to the action, in luxurious safari tents that leave no impact on the plains. Insider's Tip: Pack your walking shoes. All Wilderness Usawa Serengeti sites are positioned within designated walking zones, allowing walking safaris to begin right from camp.
