The hotel

Migration Camp is located in the Lobo area close to the Kenyan border. It is a very seasonal camp as it is strategically positioned on the Grumeti River and lies in the middle of the migration path of animals going into Maasai Mara Game Reserve. The best time to stay in the camp is from the end of May to the end of July. This is a tented camp which the owners are trying to market as luxury. We do feel that the camp is intimate and is a wonderful place to stay, but it does not fall into the luxury class. We noted a couple of problems like holes in some of the tents but were prepared to overlook this purely because of the romance of the location and superb setting of the camp. The camp is positioned on a hill overlooking the Grumeti River. At night you can hear the hippos in the pools below bellowing their calls and during the day many animals gather in the confounds of the camp to graze. It is quite spectacular. One of the great things about the camp is the evenings at the campfire. The managers certainly do their best to make sure that guests have a great bush experience. When you depart to your tent at night you are escorted by an askari (Maasai guard) which adds to the bush experience.

The rooms

There are 21 permanent tents of which we know that 3 have been damaged for some time by baboons. The top section of tents are built on wooden stilts and overlook the Grumeti River. One of the most enjoyable moments for us was to sit in the morning and enjoy our coffee on the veranda whilst watching giraffe grazing within 20 meters of us. The tents are very comfortable all with en suite facilities. The honeymoon tent is amazing with a huge bath outside where you can lie and enjoy yourself underneath the stars in complete privacy.
