If witnessing the Great Migration is high on your wish list, Songa puts you in exactly the right place. Add private guiding, superb predator viewing and an intimate camp, and you have one of the Northern Serengeti's most rewarding safari experiences.
Songa places you amongst the rolling hills of the Northern Serengeti, where remarkable predator encounters, the Great Migration and exceptional guiding create one of East Africa's most exhilarating safari experiences.
Occupying a superb position in the Kogatende region, the camp lies close to the Mara River, where vast herds of wildebeest and zebra gather during the migration before attempting the dramatic river crossings. Throughout the season, the surrounding plains remain alive with resident wildlife, while the camp's elevated setting provides sweeping views across one of the Serengeti's most celebrated landscapes.
Accommodation comprises ten spacious tented suites thoughtfully positioned to provide both privacy and uninterrupted views across the surrounding wilderness. Inspired by the timeless appeal of East Africa's classic safari camps, each combines canvas, natural textures and handcrafted furnishings with generous modern comforts.
En-suite bathrooms, private verandas and spacious interiors create a welcoming retreat after a day on safari, while the intimate scale of the camp ensures a relaxed and personal atmosphere throughout every stay.
Dining reflects the unhurried rhythm of life in the Serengeti, with generous breakfasts, relaxed family-style lunches and beautifully prepared evening meals showcasing fresh seasonal ingredients. Attentive service and changing locations make every meal feel like part of the adventure.
Picnic breakfasts and lunches allow guests to maximise time in the bush, while sundowners enjoyed beneath vast African skies provide the perfect ending to another unforgettable safari.
Every stay includes a private guide and dedicated safari vehicle, allowing complete flexibility to follow the wildlife rather than a schedule. The Northern Serengeti is renowned for its remarkable predator activity, where lions, leopards and cheetahs take full advantage of the enormous herds moving across the plains during the migration season.
Located just a short drive from the Mara River, Songa offers outstanding opportunities to witness one of Africa's greatest natural spectacles. As thousands of wildebeest gather nervously along the riverbanks before plunging into crocodile-filled waters, every crossing unfolds differently, creating unforgettable moments that remain with travellers long after they return home.
Outside the migration, the region continues to deliver exceptional wildlife viewing, with elephant, giraffe, buffalo, hyena and abundant plains game regularly encountered throughout the surrounding wilderness. Full-day safaris allow guests to explore further afield without watching the clock, while sunrise hot air balloon safaris reveal the vast Serengeti from an unforgettable perspective.
Songa operates during the prime Northern Serengeti season between June and October, perfectly timed for the arrival of the Great Migration. Although the river crossings attract global attention, the area's outstanding resident wildlife and exceptional predator density ensure rewarding safaris throughout the camp's operating season.
Songa occupies the Kogatende region of the Northern Serengeti, just a short drive from the Mara River. Combining an intimate camp with exceptional access to the Great Migration and some of Tanzania's finest predator country, it offers an outstanding base for exploring the northern Serengeti.
