The Ultimate Guide to the Great Migration in Tanzania

Experiencing the Great Migration from a first-person perspective remains the ultimate dream for travelers. In European aristocracy, going on an African safari is considered the trendiest form of entertainment. Safari means 'observing or hunting animals in their natural habitat.' Hundreds of years have passed, but witnessing the Great Migration up close is still a dream for many travelers. 🔹 Immerse yourself in the pristine habitats of wildlife, feel the hurried footsteps of wildebeests crossing the river, crocodiles lying in wait, ready to strike at any moment. Joy and sorrow unfold within seconds, the food chain's predator-prey dynamics condensed into a constantly moving picture, revealing nature's rawness and cruelty. This is the fascinating charm of the Great Migration. 🔹 Every June, as the migration season begins, tourists flock in, almost flattening the grasslands of East Africa. 😫 💎 In fact, there's an ultimate way to experience Africa—staying at the Singita camp, which costs $7,000 per night, and watching the Great Migration from the comfort of your bed. 💎 Bill Gates and David Beckham are followers of this method. The British royal family considers Singita their exclusive vacation spot, and Condé Nast Traveler has ranked Singita as the world's best hotel for several consecutive years. 🔹 For Singita, running a luxury hotel is a secondary business; their primary focus is on environmental conservation. The hotel does not use plastic products, all electricity comes from renewable sources, and their emphasis on ecology grants them many 'privileges.' 👉 Singita is allowed to set up camps in the Serengeti, the starting point of the annual migration. Staying at Singita means living in the heart of the Great Migration. 👉 Each Singita camp is a large private nature reserve. African elephants might greet you with their trunks outside your window, and agile cheetahs might climb onto the roof, offering a true sense of 'living with the beasts.' 🔹 However, in East Africa, there are only 8 Singita camps, each with a limited number of rooms, making them highly sought after every year! 🔹 In May, Singita's new camp, Singita Milele, will open in the Grumeti Reserve, setting a new standard for luxury in Africa. 👉 The camp is located by the Grumeti River, the largest river in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and a crucial point in the Great Migration. Staying here almost guarantees a front-row seat to the migration. 👉 Singita Milele has very few rooms, with only one private villa, the highest configuration among all Singita camps. 👉 The villa has five suites, accommodating up to 10 guests, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, a large media room, a fitness center, and an infinity pool, all standard Singita amenities. During your stay, you can enjoy complete privacy. 👉 The camp is fully staffed with guides, chefs, butlers, and housekeeping teams, offering off-road and walking experiences in the reserve daily. Between watching the migration, you can also interact closely with lively wildlife. For privacy reasons, Singita Milele has not released interior photos, but we can glimpse its luxury through the designs of other Singita villas.
