Great Migration Camps

GMC is mobile 
GMC_mobile camp moves as the wildebeest migration moves so exact location months in advance is hard to predict.  We will always know our location before you arrive as well as the closest airstrip.

There are two fairly consistent events in the migration cycle, where you will be sure to find us.
Calving Season (Feb-March): Ndutu area, Southern Serengeti
Crossing Season (July-Oct): Mara River, Northern Serengeti.

International Arrival 
Kilimanjaro International Airport, (JRO) in Arusha, Tanzania

Domestic Flights 
Daily flights to and from the Serengeti National Park from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airports.  GMC will collect you from the closest airstrip to camp.

Guided Safari 
Starting in Arusha, your professional English speaking driver guide will take you from your accommodation on a journey with multiple stops to GMC mobile camp.  Drive or fly back.

Self-Drive
Hire a fully equipped 4×4 vehicle, with or without camping equipment, and explore Tanzania at your own pace. We’ll send you directions to camp or arrange a meeting point.

Mess Tent
A Bedouin-style stretch tent forms the mess tent and communal dining area and provides shade from the African sun. Side panel shade-netting protects against the elements and prevailing winds.  Underneath the shelters are the dining tables and camp chairs, which can be moved around the campfire for sundowners and fireside stories of an evening.

Power
The camp is run off solar power and we do not use a generator. We avoid single use plastic to the best of our ability. Charging station available but please no power intensive appliances.

Water 
Fresh drinking water available – we try to avoid single use plastic – please bring a refillable water bottle. Water is precious – kindly use wisely when showering.

Waste
Our trash is separated, then re-used, recycled or taken out of the park for disposal.

Working Trailer 
The trailer is a working trailer, containing the camp kitchen. Please take care when accessing the kitchen.

Accommodation
GMC mobile has waterproof durable dome shaped canvas tents, offering double or twin occupancy up to 10 – 12 clients. Each tent is high enough to stand upright. There is a front awning, side windows and an internal vent and mosquito netting. Amazingly comfortable warm and durable linen with Masai Shukas. Super thick memory foam mattresses and pillows for a great sleep – better than at home. Towels are provided. Solar lantern provided.

None of the tents are en-suite.  Our communal outdoor ablution block, has two gravity -fed shower cubicles for steaming hot showers every evening. BEST shower in the bush.
