Nyumbu Luxury Camp moves twice a year through Serengeti, from the southern plains in December to March, and the northern Serengeti from July to October. It offers a unique and intimate safari experience. Part of the Nyumbu Luxury Collection, this mobile camp provides an exceptional glimpse into the Great Migration and a front-row seat to some of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles on the planet.
