Songa Migrational Camp
Kogatende, Northern Serengeti; Maswa Kimali, Southwestern Serengeti.
Follow in the footsteps of the Great Migration
When the dust settles after the drama of the Mara River crossings, our signature migrational camp bids farewell to its perch among the rolling hills and rocky outcrops of Kogatende in the north. Reborn amid a sea of green grass plains within our exclusive-use protected wildlife area, Songa opens its doors in the south just in time to welcome the herds to their ancient calving grounds.
Reminiscent of classic explorer-style safari camps, where your every comfort is considered, Songa is the perfect base for those seeking to answer the call of the wild in style.
Why you’ll love Songa Migrational Camp
Front row seats to the Great Migration
Sought-after settings in both the northern Serengeti and our exclusive-use protected wildlife area in the south offer unparalleled access to the Great Migration.
Exhilarating predator-prey interactions
Positioned in the heart of the herds’ migratory route, Songa offers exceptional opportunities to witness predator-prey interactions, from lion hunts to cheetah chases.
Flexible and private
Your stay in this luxury migration camp includes a private vehicle and safari guide, with no set schedules but your own as you explore the wilderness.
Exclusive-use partitioning
Perfect for a multi-generational family safari, Songa can partition one side of the camp for exclusive use. Together with our bespoke family suite, it delivers a seamless safari experience for families of all sizes.
Day and night game drives
Optional day and night game drives offer unrivaled wildlife encounters, with each hour revealing a new dimension of the bush. As night falls, pause under pristine skies to admire the canopy of glittering stars.
Legendary Songa experiences
Mara River crossings (north)
The Great Migration's most famous chapter unfolds in the northern Serengeti. Here, the fast-flowing waters of the Mara River set the stage for the herds’ desperate dash to reach the rain-soaked plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara.
Game drives (north and south)
From the banks of the Mara River to the endless short grass plains, set out to explore the Serengeti with your private guide and vehicle. Learn about the landscape and stop for scenic picnics and sundowners, raising a toast to the day’s adventures as the sunset paints the sky.
Soar over the Serengeti (north)
Hop aboard a hot air balloon and rise with the sun as the sweeping savannas unfurl below you. Spot wandering herds from above and soak up the beauty of the Serengeti at dawn.
Calving season (south)
Within our exclusive-use protected wildlife area to the southwest of the Serengeti, you’ll enjoy sole access to the calving season, where an astonishing 8,000 wildebeests are born each day between January and March.
Dance with the Datoga (south)
Visit a nearby Datoga village to experience a day in the life of this vibrant pastoral tribe. Immerse yourself in their rhythmic songs and dizzying dances, connect with the village members and gain insight into their cultural practices, traditions and history.
Explore nature by night (south)
When the sun sets, a whole new kind of safari begins. As the moon rises and stars paint the sky, nocturnal predators spring into action, and every spotlight sweep reflects a new set of eyes.
Savanna sundowners
Toast the day’s adventures as the setting sun paints the savanna skies a showstopping palette of pinks, oranges and reds.
Bush picnics
Swap in-camp dining for a picnic on the go while you’re out exploring. Whether it’s a bush breakfast or lunch, your guide will find a scenic spot for you to indulge in the delicious picnic spread our chefs have prepared.
