Siringit Migration Camp by Mantis

This is a luxurious tented resort in a beautiful setting. We loved our time here and particularly appreciated the hospitality of the wonderful staff. A special shout out to our butler Eli and especially to our driver James who went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience ever - and saw the great migration of Wildebeest. The managers Livingston and Dave are truly wonderful. The most wonderful part was the elephant that visited outside our tent at 2am! We loved that.

This was my first experience staying in a migration camp and I couldn’t believe how nice it was. The accommodation, food and service were all top notch. I booked through a safari tour operator so I wasn’t that familiar with it until I arrived. The first thing I noticed was the sign saying that they were a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The accommodations are part tent/part cabins with en suite flush toilets. Plenty of hot water in the shower. I thought we’d be roughing in some fashion but there was no compromise in quality compared to a traditional hotel room. Even the WiFi was very good, both in our room and in the common areas. Similar to some of the other lodges/camps in the area, they assign you a butler who, in reality, is a waiter. You tip the waiter separately from the rest of the staff. I personally don’t like the arrangement from a tipping perspective but our butler was very good. The Siringit Migration Camp is in the southern Serengeti for two months. They then spend two months breaking down everything and relocating to the northern Serengeti. It’s really amazing that this type of mobile camp can be so luxurious. They only have 8 units so be sure to book early! Highly recommended.
