Wilderness Usawa Serengeti

Wilderness Usawa Serengeti

Wilderness Usawa Serengeti is a boutique, mobile tented camp that travels with the heartbeat of the Great Migration across Serengeti National Park. Designed to flow seamlessly from one migration hotspot to the next, it offers guests an unparalleled safari experience, placing them mere meters from migrating wildebeest and zebras, predator chases, and river crossings, without the crowds or infrastructure interruptions of permanent camps. Usawa’s locations are carefully scouted daily, ensuring you experience the most dramatic wildlife moments in near solitude, as the camp shifts across nine distinct Serengeti sites throughout the year.

Each of its six luxury canvas tents combines open-air immersion with thoughtful creature comforts. Picture climbing into bed under a canvas canopy while lions roar nearby, yet plugging in your camera battery to a solar charged port before drifting off. The visual design echoes key elements of Maasai artistry, rich textiles, organically dyed canvas, and locally carved accents, while delivering modern en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, flush toilets, and sturdy alfresco lounging decks. A central mess tent, library lounge, and communal fire circle form the heart of the camp, offering great food, conversation, and vistas you simply can’t bottle.

What really sets Usawa apart is its harmonious blend of elegance, minimalism, and ecological integrity. Upon each move, the camp leaves no trace, platforms are temporary, materials are locally sourced and biodegradable, and the entire operation runs on solar power and eco-friendly systems. Yet guests enjoy all the refined service of a permanent luxury lodge: made to order dinners, keen-hearted staff, warm firesides each evening, knowledgeable guides who tailor routes to the day’s sightings, and intimate storytelling sessions beneath star-swathed skies. It’s luxury only where it matters, and wild everywhere else.
