The spirit of the journey

Our passion for wild and open spaces also finds expression in the art of walking safaris in Africa, a true demonstration of our deep love for the bush.
Unlike classic circuits and their superfluous add-ons, this journey offers a connection with nature and an immersive experience, far from the many vehicles and tourists that crisscross the park's tracks.

Designed in a spirit of exploration for nature lovers seeking an environmentally respectful experience, this journey offers a unique perspective on one of the world's most famous ecosystems: the Serengeti.

For three days, your private guide, one of the best walking safari guides in Tanzania, will accompany you to discover the wild Serengeti, lulled by the sounds of nature, before joining your private tented camp, set at the heart of the bush, according to the season.
Each day will be a new epic to tell.

And to get a full dose of thrills and get close to the greatest predators in complete safety, three more days will be devoted to exploring the park by 4x4 from the superb Laba Laba tented camp, to experience Luxury in the wild.
Refinement reaches its peak there.

Étendues Sauvages offers here a deliberate return to its roots, because although the world has changed, what makes a safari exceptional has not. Many alternatives to mass tourism exist, and the Serengeti, though now very popular, still has many secrets to reveal to us.

Stop simply looking at nature — feel it, and come live an experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

NB: This walking safari experience is also available in Ruaha and Ugalla national parks.

EXPEDITIONARY WALKING CAMP
On foot, explore less-frequented regions, off the beaten track, rich in unexpected discoveries.
Depending on the season, you cross vast grassy savannahs, green valleys, majestic mountains, and ochre lands, in the East of the Serengeti (November to February), in the Gol Mountains (March to April), and in the West of the Serengeti (May to June).
The camp, with only 4 tents, booked exclusively, is always set up in strategic locations, allowing you to explore different regions of the Serengeti and follow the animal migration.

After a short light-aircraft flight from Arusha, you are welcomed by your private guide (who also acts as camp manager), an expert in walking safaris, passionate and captivating.
Thanks to his experience, your evenings around the campfire will remain unforgettable, filled with incredible stories and anecdotes.

To look after you, a team of 5 will show attentiveness and resourcefulness to make these few days a moment suspended in time.
The team ensures everything runs smoothly — a team whose names you will quickly learn, and one you will find hard to leave after days of exploring together!

On the program: 3 to 6 hours of walking per day (from age 16), for a stay of at least 3 nights.
Walks begin at dawn, both to make the most of the coolest part of the day and because wildlife is more active at dawn and dusk.

Picture it, and let yourself be carried along for a few seconds:

6:45 am, skirting the ridge on which the camp is set and following it along a winding route that varies between rocky scrubland on the heights and sloping plains below, you come face to face with a group of giraffes and their young, watch raptors overhead, and herds of eland trotting past in the distance.
A few minutes later, crouched down to observe the behavior of dung beetles, you hear a thundering herd of wildebeest pouring out of a valley like a surging flood. At lunchtime in the shade, a hyena creeps closer, then moves away as soon as the wind reveals your presence.
Back at camp at dusk, as marabou storks parachute down to their roosts and frogs begin to sing in chorus, your night promises to be peaceful, lulled by Mother Nature.

Will you be one of these fearless spirits?

Expeditionary Walking Camp Serengeti

Sanctuaire ultime pour les âmes aventurières et les esprits intrépides, le camp de marche de Nomad Tanzania traverse la nature sauvage et intacte du parc national du Serengeti, offrant une expérience de safari intime qui rappelle l'âge d'or de l'exploration.
Selon la saison, vous parcourez les grandes savanes herbeuses, les vallées verdoyantes, les montagnes majestueuses, et les terres ocre, à l’Est du Serengeti (de novembre à février), à Gol Mountains (de mars à avril), et à l’Ouest du Serengeti (de mai à juin).
Doté de quatre tentes conçues pour l'exploration, la légèreté et la mobilité, ce camp, réservé en exclusivité seulement, est autorisé à pénétrer de nouveaux territoires, offrant à ses hôtes une aventure de safari immersive.
Vivez au rythme de la nature : réveillez-vous aux sons bruts de la nature sauvage, marchez pendant la journée et dînez sous les étoiles !
Vivez l'émotion d'approcher une famille d'éléphants à pied, sentez l'adrénaline monter lorsque le rugissement puissant d'un lion résonne dans l'obscurité de la nuit, ou détendez-vous simplement sous un arbre ombragé tout en observant la beauté du monde.

LABA MIGRATION CAMP
After a few hours of 4×4 safaris, you reach the new Laba Laba camp, LABA Migration Mobile Camp, where you settle in for 4 nights.
For 4×4 safaris guided by experts in Tanzanian wildlife, this is the place to be!
Exceptional comfort, the atmosphere of an authentic safari dating back to the late 19th century, a décor themed around a “cabinet of curiosities” dedicated to nature, LABA Migration Camp welcomes only a lucky few with its 8 double tents and 2 family tents.
The pleasures of the palate flourish every day with dishes signed Laba Laba, prepared mainly from organic ingredients.
Laba Migration Camp is, without question, our latest Tanzanian favorite!
In the same spirit as Jongomero Camp or Siwandu Camp in southern Tanzania, Laba Migration Camp follows a genuine approach to responsible tourism, close to the heart of Étendues Sauvages.

The camp is dismantled over six days, three times a year, to settle in the main migration areas where animal concentrations are found:
. From late November to late March, in the South of the Serengeti not far from the Ngorongoro Crater, in the Ndutu region. This is the region where herds concentrate and where, in January, around 300,000 wildebeest calves are born.
. From April to July, Laba Migration Camp settles at Msabi, in the West of the Serengeti. This is the height of the rut, when the males are highly active.
. From August to late November, in the North of the Serengeti. There you will encounter the vast migration herds, which can sometimes stretch up to 30 km long.

Want some wonder? Look up and admire the starry skies, far from any light pollution.

And why not extend your safari with a few days on Laba Fanjove Island?
You will undoubtedly experience a memorable stay!

Laba Migration Camp

​Inspiré d’un cabinet de curiosités, ce camp mobile marie raffinement et aventure.
Matériaux nobles, tentes spacieuses, vue imprenable sur la savane : chaque détail invite à l’émerveillement.

Laba Laba réinvente l’expérience du Serengeti avec luxe et authenticité.

À l’instar des troupeaux, mobiles, le Laba Migration Camp est itinérant. Il accompagne les temps forts de la Grande Migration, soit trois grandes étapes par an pour vous offrir les premières loges de cet incroyable spectacle. Des emplacements de choix magnifiés par la structure même de ce camp entièrement ouvert sur la nature.

Le camp est démonté en six jours, trois fois par an, pour se poser dans les principales zones de la migration où se trouve la concentration des animaux :
- De fin novembre à fin mars, dans le Sud du Serengeti non loin du cratère du Ngorongoro, dans la région de Ndutu. C’est dans cette région que se concentrent les troupeaux et que naissent, en janvier, environ 300 000 bébés gnous.
- D’avril à juillet, le Laba Migration Camp se pose à Msabi, dans l’Ouest du Serengeti. C’est la grande époque du rut et les mâles sont très actifs.
- D’août à fin novembre, dans le nord du Serengeti. Vous y côtoierez les immenses troupeaux de la migration lesquels peuvent parfois atteindre jusqu’à 30 km de long.
