Field Camp Description

Positioned right on the southern Serengeti plains adjacent to Lake Ndutu, this seasonal camp opens only during the dramatic calving months from December to April. Two million grazers gather here on the mineral-rich volcanic short grass, with thousands of calves born each morning. Guests step from their canvas doorways directly onto the open plain, where cheetahs scout from low mounds and lions shelter in the fever-tree forest. The atmosphere is quiet, focused on nature, and deeply reverent to the rhythm of wildlife.
