The Location and Migration Experience

Usawa moves with the rhythm of the Serengeti, following the Great Migration as millions of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope traverse the vast plains in search of fresh grazing. The camp’s mobility allows guests to witness this awe-inspiring natural spectacle, from the calving season in the south to the dramatic river crossings in the north.

Though the migration follows a predictable route, the precise timing is dictated by the rains, with the herds typically moving north by September and returning south as the seasons shift. Usawa Camp is strategically positioned to give guests a front-row seat to this incredible movement, offering a dynamic and immersive safari experience.

Far removed from the busier tourist routes, Usawa Serengeti offers a truly remote and private safari. The camp's minimalist, thoughtful design and its prime locations bring guests closer to the wildlife action while providing a tranquil retreat in the wild. Whether you’re witnessing a lion pride at dawn or gazing up at the stars from your veranda, Usawa offers an experience of balance—where luxury and nature coexist in perfect harmony.

At Usawa Serengeti, every moment is tailored to ensure an unforgettable and sustainable safari in one of the most iconic landscapes on earth.
