Siringit Migration Camp by Mantis

This was my first experience staying in a migration camp and I couldn’t believe how nice it was. The accommodation, food and service were all top notch. I booked through a safari tour operator so I wasn’t that familiar with it until I arrived. The first thing I noticed was the sign saying that they were a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The accommodations are part tent/part cabins with en suite flush toilets. Plenty of hot water in the shower. I thought we’d be roughing in some fashion but there was no compromise in quality compared to a traditional hotel room. Even the WiFi was very good, both in our room and in the common areas. Similar to some of the other lodges/camps in the area, they assign you a butler who, in reality, is a waiter. You tip the waiter separately from the rest of the staff. I personally don’t like the arrangement from a tipping perspective but our butler was very good. The Siringit Migration Camp is in the southern Serengeti for two months. They then spend two months breaking down everything and relocating to the northern Serengeti. It’s really amazing that this type of mobile camp can be so luxurious. They only have 8 units so be sure to book early! Highly recommended.

The camp was located at Kogatende. Fantastic location in the middle of the action. Zebra’s, wildebeast, lions, elephants, beautiful birds…. We’ve seen a lot. James was our experienced guide. Tents are extremely comfortable and nicely decorated. The food was Michelin star quality. All this in the middle of nature. We come again.

Our 3 night stay at Siringit Migration Camp was absolutely incredible. All staff went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. Chacha, our safari guide, worked tirelessly to get us in the best positions for the wildebeest crossings, and answered our specific request of finding a male lion x2. He was extremely positive and very attentive to our requests. Janet, our lead hostess, was extremely attentive to our dining needs as well. She also worked tirelessly to ensure all dining needs were met with a smile. Accommodations were splendid. 5 star glamping with hot showers, flush toilets, and comfortable beds overlooking the Serengeti. It’s an amazing experience listening to the wildebeest and zebras eating outside your tent at night and watching them migrate right through camp early the next morning. No hesitations for a guaranteed wonderful stay.
