Wilderness Usawa, Southern Serengeti
Southern Serengeti
Tanzania
Wilderness Usawa Camp is a mobile camp that follows the migration moving across different locations within the Serengeti, depending on the season.
We love their southern locations, offering an exceptional, up-close migration experience ( if you get the timing right). The camp accommodates 12 guests in six en-suite tents with mesh sides designed to make the most of the landscape. The tents have solar power, luxurious linens, view-facing beds and an en-suite bathroom.
You can enjoy early morning game drives, with hot coffee and breakfast on the rocky kopjes, and afternoon game drives and sundowners; there is walking available in some locations. Full-day drives – with a packed picnic lunch so as not to miss any of the action – can also be arranged, before returning to camp at sunset.
About This Area
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is a vast expanse of sprawling grasslands crisscrossed with the green veins of seasonal watercourses and dotted with grazing herds of game. An area of roughly 15,000 km sq, it is a jewel within the Greater Serengeti ecosystem and a haven for wildlife. In this vast wilderness you feel you can explore forever and never tire of it.
Vast short-grass plains cover the south of Serengeti National Park, stretching into the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Maswa Game Reserve. The majority of this area is flat open savannah, dotted with occasional small rocky outcrops, Kopjes. The plains are alive with grazing wildebeest from around late-November to April, although the precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon rainfall patterns each An estimated two million wildebeest, half a million zebras, and countless other herbivores traverse the ecosystem during this time.
