Check the dates before you choose this camp, because it is in two different places. The Ndutu site, called Old Ndutu 1, runs from 1 December to 5 April and sits in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, just south of Serengeti National Park. The Kogatende site, Machwechwe 1, runs from 20 May to 20 November in the northern Serengeti, near the Mara River.
The Ndutu site is a 5-minute drive from Ndutu airstrip, and the Kogatende site is a 25-minute drive from Kogatende airstrip. February is calving season at Ndutu. We can build either site into your route.
There are 12 tents, set 15 to 20 metres apart. Each has an en suite bathroom, a shaded verandah and a power point. Lighting is solar, with a generator as backup, and meals include bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners when the weather allows.
