The Great Migration is a year-round phenomenon where vast herds of mammals, mainly wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra, move around the Serengeti in search of food and water. The driving force of the migration is rain, making it difficult to predict.

Hakuna matata! No worries! Plenty of awe-inspiring moments present themselves whenever you travel in Kenya. Even if you don’t happen to see the Great Migration, you’ll still see an abundance of wildlife.

For medical advice, it’s always best to consult your doctor. Most travelers receive a vaccination for yellow fever and antimalarial pills. Keep in mind that you’ll be staying in camps and lodges designed to accommodate American and European guests.

Dress in comfortable, casual attire that you don’t mind getting dusty. We recommend wearing layers. After you’ve booked your safari, we’ll mail a detailed packing list to help you prepare.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of food on our safaris. In most lodges, meals are served buffet-style. The food is often prepared with western palates in mind (some local dishes are included). At the Nyumba Camps, chefs prepare fresh soups, breads, entrees, and desserts daily. With advanced notice, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly meals can easily be arranged. Make sure to inform us when booking your trip.
