Ubuntu Migration Camp follows the Serengeti’s seasonal wildlife movements, using northern and southern locations to give guests access to the migrating herds. Its northern Lamai Wedge and southern Kusini settings give two versions of the mobile-camp experience. Both are chosen around seasonal wildlife access, with a modest footprint and comfortable canvas accommodation. In the south, the hillside location looks over broad plains; the northern stay introduces a different landscape beyond the Mara River and opportunities for guided walking.
The northern site lies in the Lamai Wedge, while the southern camp overlooks the Kusini plains. Its portable canvas design keeps the experience close to the bush.
The camp’s central dining and lounge tents, shaded canvas roofs and evening fire create a small and sociable safari base. Its portable structure is designed around the seasonal location rather than extensive facilities. The emphasis is on guiding, hospitality and being well placed for the wildlife of the moment.

Accommodation
Canvas tents can be arranged with double or twin beds. The family tent accommodates four guests. A sitting area and furnished porch give space to read or watch the surroundings between outings, while mesh panels allow ventilation. Bathrooms retain a traditional bucket-shower approach, which is part of the experience rather than an incidental detail.
Food & drink
Fresh meals range from light lunches to three-course dinners, with picnics packed for longer outings.
The kitchen prepares light buffets, packed lunches and three-course evening meals. In the northern season, some fresh ingredients are sourced through a nearby community programme. Meals can be taken in the open dining tent, and a picnic allows you to remain out when wildlife activity warrants a longer drive.
What to do
Game drives explore the seasonal location, with walking available in the north and optional ballooning in the south. Exact migration movements vary with rainfall.
Wildlife drives are the core experience. In the north, the Lamai Wedge gives access to walking opportunities; in the south, balloon flights can be arranged at additional cost. We would confirm the available extras and age requirements for the specific location rather than assume the same programme at both sites.
Planning your stay
Confirm the northern or southern operating position, then allow three nights or more to explore. Ngorongoro adds contrast on a southern-plains itinerary; a beach extension can follow either seasonal location. The best route depends on the camp’s actual position and available flights.
The right fit
Travellers who want a traditional canvas safari focused on seasonal wildlife access. It is an option for people comfortable with simpler camp facilities rather than extensive resort-style amenities.
Bucket showers and a mobile-camp footprint are part of the experience. Check relocation dates, the family-tent layout and the actual airstrip before arranging onward travel. Seasonal positioning cannot guarantee herds beside camp.
Useful to know
Ubuntu uses northern and southern Serengeti positions, including Lamai Wedge and Kusini-area settings. Your proposal should specify the operating camp for your dates.
The canvas tents have en-suite bathrooms with traditional bucket showers. This is an intentional bush-camp format rather than a conventional hotel bathroom.
Yes. The ten-tent configuration includes a family option. We confirm its occupancy and bedding for the particular stay before allocating accommodation.
We normally start with at least three. This gives the guide time to explore and reduces the risk of treating a seasonal camp as one brief stop in a rushed itinerary.
