This 6 night safari includes a combination of two camps: one located within the Central region of the Serengeti, and one in the North section. The ideal time to visit is between July and October, when the Great Migration is typically in the area. If you are lucky you can catch a river crossing, when the herds cross the Mara River from the Serengeti into Kenya, and vice versa.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro airport, pass customs and transit to the domestic terminal on time for the local flight to the Serengeti. Depending on your time of arrival, you might require a pre-night in Arusha, contact us for options.
Arrive Seronera airstrip, meet by the local tour guide and transfer to camp via a meandering game drive. You will be spending 3x nights at Pioneer Camp including all your meals, selected beverages and the shared game drives. Serengeti Pioneer Camp is perched on its own individual kopje in South Central Serengeti, close to the Moru Kopjes and affording dramatic views of the Serengeti plains that drift endlessly into the horizon. The landscape, originally formed by volcanic activity, has been sculptured by the ever changing climate and now varies from open grass plains in the south, savannah grasslands with scattered acacia trees in the centre, hilly wood grasslands in the north to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.
Serengeti Pioneer Camp captures the original essence of the mobile African safari, engendering nostalgic wonderment whilst unlocking the adventurous spirit within all of us.
Enjoy wonderful game viewing on the plain of the Serengeti, known for excellent game viewing all year-long added to the great herds of wildebeest and zebras cris- crossing the park. The drama and beauty of the Serengeti National Park is indeed awe inspiring.

FAQs about Herdtracker Migration in Central and North Serengeti
Safari lodges have guest rooms similar to a hotel with en-suite bathrooms. They are comfortably furnished with facilities normally associated with a hotel rooms, except your rooms are normally set in beautiful wilderness settings, with nature and wildlife around.
Tented lodges have rooms which are tents on a platform and with a roof and also have en-suite facilities with showers, flush toilets and hot water. Basically all the amenities of a hotel room, except canvas walls and roof.
The boutique lodges and camps can be very stylish and smart in terms of design and decor, often with very spacious rooms and even going so far in some cases as having plunge pools for each room.
Eco-camps and smaller tented camps have insect-proof tents with en-suite facilities including a safari shower and flush toilet. They give a more authentic safari experience but the tents are comfortably furnished with proper beds and you don’t need to bring your own sleeping bag! The emphasis is usually on having excellent guides and great wildlife viewing away from the crowds. Guests often eat together and people travelling alone usually say that they found the atmosphere friendly and enjoyed meeting other like-minded travellers around the campfire in the evening or at dinner.
The Adventure Camps are a budget option with guests bringing their own sleeping bags and towels. Accommodation is in small dome tented with a mattress on the floor. Each tent has its own nearby cubicle with a flush toilet, safari shower, and wash basin. The Adventure Camps are suitable only for those who don’t mind “real camping” and can put with some degree of “roughing it”. Apart from the accommodation in simple dome tents, the meals and the guiding are the same standards as the higher quality camps and game drives are in 4x4 safari vehicles. For those on a limited budget, the Adventure Camps are a good alternative to the big tourist lodges and minibus tours for those for whom the safari experience is more important than hotel accommodation.
The best time to see the wildebeest migration is in August as the herds cross the Nile crocodile-infested Mara River, crossing an international border between Kenya and Tanzania.
