The Migration Camp

A round on arrival, then days following the great herds from a mobile camp pitched where the action is — the purist's Serengeti, golf clubs riding shotgun.

The route

Where you go, and why

Stop 012 nights

Arusha — Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate

One civilised round between the mountains at the Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate, a long dinner, an early night — because the wild gets serious tomorrow.

Mobile camp, southern or northern Serengeti

This is safari as the explorers knew it, with the thread count fixed: a full-service mobile camp pitched in private campsites where the migration actually is — the calving plains of the south in the green season (December to March, when half a million wildebeest are born in three weeks and the predators feast) or the crossing country of the north (June to October). Six nights lets the bush set the rhythm: long drives when the action runs, slow brunches when it doesn't, and guides who have followed these herds for decades.

Good questions

Asked before you booked

How much does The Migration Camp cost?

Guide price is from US$14,200 per person sharing, excluding international flights. For an exact figure, use the Price a Private Version tool — adjust the nights, rounds and experiences and our quoting engine returns your private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.

How many rounds of golf are on this journey?

1 round are built in — Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate. Every round can be kept, swapped or dropped when you price your private version.

Can my non-golfing partner come?

Absolutely — this is the heart of how we design. While the golfers play, the Gallery programme runs parallel experiences (game drives, spas, wine, walks, markets), and everyone reunites for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.

When is the best time to take this journey?

Best months are Dec–Mar (calving, south) · Jun–Oct (river country, north). We will be honest about the trade-offs of any month you are considering — every season has its version of this trip.

Where will we stay?

Exact, named properties at every stop — on this journey: Kiligolf Estate Villas, Arusha, Serengeti mobile tented camp. Every property is hand-picked from our register; none paid for, none reciprocated.

Do I need a visa for Tanzania?

Yes — most visitors use Tanzania's online e-visa (or visa on arrival). It is straightforward, and we guide you through it when you book.

When should I go for the migration or the Crater?

The northern Serengeti river-crossing season runs roughly July to October; the southern calving season, with predators in tow, is January to March. The Ngorongoro Crater is superb year-round. We will time your journey to the spectacle you most want.

Is the golf any good in Tanzania?

There is exactly one championship-standard course — the Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro — and its setting is among the most beautiful in world golf. We will be honest: in Tanzania the wildlife is the headline and the golf is the overture.
