Asilia Ubuntu Migration Camp

Style

Wild wanderer

Setting

North to south Serengeti

`Safari stay Asilia Ubuntu Migration Camp is nomadic like the wildebeest it follows: half the year it resides in southern Serengeti to catch calving season; this leaves-no-trace retreat then packs up and migrates to the national park’s north, where passing herds cross the Mara River. Comfortable tented suites, game drives and inclusive dining are your year-round staples; hot-air balloon rides and the north’s walking safaris are bucket-list bonuses.

Once you’ve booked your safari stays, the Asilia team will be in touch within 48 hours, on business days, to help arrange travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Asilia Ubuntu Migration Camp may move between north and south Serengeti throughout the year, but cosy, rustic tented suites are its constant, with woven furnishings and safari-style bucket showers. Most are made for two, but the Family Tented Suite sleeps two adults and two children.

Dress Code

Come as you are in this remote, outdoorsy stay.

Hotel Restaurant

Expect season-led dining that's proudly low on food miles. A commitment to sustainability and a celebration of local, indigenous ingredients underpin Asilia Africa’s approach to cuisine across all camps.

At Asilia Ubuntu Migration Camp, breakfast might be a picnic in the bush consisting of fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, freshly squeezed juices, baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and wraps. But if you're staying in camp, you also have an option to start your day with hot dishes à la carte.

Across all Asilia Africa camps, the menu changes by the day; at each meal, there’ll be a choice of starters, mains, sides and desserts, with vegetarians as well served as meat eaters. Lunch on Wednesdays and dinner on Sundays are a distinctly Swahili affair, spotlighting local culinary traditions. If you have food preferences or dietary requirements, the camp’s kitchen team will be happy to adapt dishes to suit.

Hotel Bar

There’s no formal bar, but you can settle in for drinks at the main tented lounge — on a sofa, out on the deck or down by the fire pit.

Last Orders

Rather than working to scheduled hours, meals fit around your plans and staff are happy to flex to meet your wishes.

Room Service

Available 24 hours: you can order drinks and snacks to your suite; meals, too, can be arranged chez vous.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

From mid-December to mid-March, Asilia Ubuntu Migration Camp calls Kusini in southern Serengeti its home to coincide with calving season. Its hillside perch overlooks animal-roamed plains and, with big cats in the mix, there’s ample opportunity to watch predators in action — particularly on a hot-air balloon safari. The camp moves north to Lamai Wedge from June to mid-November, where walking safaris and game drives see migrating wildebeest herds cross the Mara River.

Wherever Ubuntu’s co-ordinates take you, it makes the ideal Serengeti midpoint in a wider itinerary that whisks you from the plains of northern Tanzania south to Lake Victoria. Start with three nights at Asilia Oliver’s Camp in Tarangire National Park, where floodplains sustain elephants, buffalos and big cats. Next, three nights at Ubuntu will give you scope to enjoy Serengeti’s seasonal rhythms from an exclusive vantage point. From there, fly to an island national park that’s home to forest chimpanzees, where Asilia Rubondo Island Camp is the only safari stay.
