Great Migration: front row foot-free

New mobile camp follows the migration route of wild animals

Mantis, one of the leading hotel groups focused on nature and species conservation, is adding the Siringit Migration Camp by Mantis to its range of luxury hotels and eco-lodges in August 2021. The camp will change location every few months. This means that guests will always be exactly where the Great Migration is currently taking place.


A camp on the move

Every year in October and November, thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate from the northern plains of the Serengeti to the south to follow the short rains. After the longer periods of rain in April, May and June, they continue their journey west and north. The event known as the Great Migration is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa and attracts countless tourists to the Serengeti National Park, which stretches from northern Tanzania to southern Kenya, every year.

"The Great Migration is on the bucket list of many international travelers and we want to make this experience even more monumental by bringing our guests as close to the animals as possible. We also wanted to ensure that our mobile camps leave the smallest possible environmental footprint without compromising on luxury. Our guests play an important role in supporting conservation-led hospitality. The experiences we create for our guests allow them to experience first-hand the select and sustainable adventure destinations Mantis offers. This is where luxury travel and eco-tourism meet," says Paul Gardiner, CEO of the Mantis Group.

The new mobile Siringit Migration Camp consists of eight luxurious guest tents, two of which can be joined together. There are also separate dining and lounge tents. These will be set up between September and October in the Northern Serengeti (as Siringit Migration Camp - Kogatende), from December to March in the Southern Serengeti Ngorongoro (Siringit Migration Camp - Ndutu) and from May to June in the Western Corridor (Siringit Migration Camp - Kirawira). Each of the camps has its own airstrip so that guests can be flown in and out easily. Even free Wi-Fi is available. In addition to morning and evening game drives, picnics, bush lunches, sundowners and dinners are also included. Catering is provided by Belgian chef Axel Janssen, one of the best chefs in Tanzania.
