THE BUSH ROVER SUITES

The unique Bush Rover suites provide a front-row seat to the great migration. Each with ensuite bathroom with a relaxing bathtub, shower and flushing toilet, all powered by solar energy.

They are designed with comfort in mind. The elevation of the bedroom and balcony is key to the Bush Rover experience, as guests can feel the security of height but get as close to the wildlife as possible.

 

Your private balcony, perched atop the Land Rover, offers breath taking panoramic views of the wildlife below. What a place to enjoy your gin & tonic at sunset. The suites have double or twin beds, mosquito nets & 24 hour security.

GAME DRIVES

Safari is all about the game drives and the vast Serengeti is the perfect place to seek out the big cats, elephant, antelope, hippo &  crocs.

 

Your guided game drives take place in open-sided safari vehicles, dawn & late afternoon are the best times for spotting the predators in action.

​

After an early cuppa, you'll head out at dawn for your first safari of the day, returning to camp for brunch. During the heat of the day you can relax around camp, enjoy spotting animals from your terrace and then head out late in the afternoon for your second game drive.

GREEN SEASON

Mid December to March

 

Our bush rovers stationed in Kusini, in the south eastern Serengeti, offer a secluded vantage point for the migration. This remote location allows you to experience calving season undisturbed, with predators drawn to the area for dramatic wildlife interactions—a unique, close-up view of nature.

WESTERN CORRIDOR

June

​The migration reaches the Western Corridor, intensifying wildlife activity around the Grumeti River. These crossings are risky, similar to those at the Mara River, and attract predators like lions, leopards, and crocodiles. This intense interaction between herds and predators offers a powerful, unforgettable glimpse into nature’s raw reality.

MARA CROSSINGS

July to October

​

The camp moves to the Mara River in the northern Serengeti, offering a prime view of thousands of wildebeest crossing the river—a safari highlight. Huge crocodiles line the banks, targeting the vulnerable in this dramatic spectacle, while predators follow closely, waiting for a chance to strike.

The Migration Map

The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events, involving over a million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle, moving across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water. The migration is a year-round cycle, but the location shifts with the rains, creating distinct seasonal phases.

​

December to March: Herds gather in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area for the calving season. Thousands of calves are born, attracting predators such as lions and hyenas in dramatic predator–prey interactions.

April to May: The animals move north through central Serengeti (Seronera/Moru), crossing savannah and woodland areas.

June to July: The migration reaches the Grumeti River in the Western Corridor, where crocodiles lie in wait for river crossings.

July to October: The iconic Mara River crossings in northern Serengeti and the Maasai Mara showcase sheer determination as herds battle strong currents and predators.

November: The return journey begins southward to the fertile southern plains, completing the annual cycle.

​

We'll work with you to plan the safari experience you are looking for, whether to watch the migration in the Serengeti, or to find a quieter, more intimate wildlife safari.
