Suzanne's Monday Minute

New style. New camps. New partner.

Legendary Lodge

• The dining verandah has been redone and now includes a larger inside area for cooler evenings. The front office and spa have been removed and large doors now create a lovely indoor-outdoor flow.
• The previous indoor dining room will become a lovely bar leading off the lounge.
• The spa now moves out of the main house into a dedicated spa space in the garden.
• NEW COTTAGE: LEGENDARY COTTAGE comes online from August 2019. This 3-bedroomed cottage has large indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces, a swimming pool, one main en-suite room, and two smaller en-suite rooms. Fully serviced by a chef and host.

Legendary Serengeti Camp

• Every booking is allocated a guide and 4x4. Your safari, at your pace. Continues to be valid for all bookings.
• Legendary Serengeti Camp has two identical mobile camps, each with 8 en-suite tents and a family tent (2 en-suite rooms and a shared lounge).
• Each of the camps is pitched as a split camp whereby one side of the camp will have 6 tents and the other side will have 2 tents and the family tent.
• Each half of the camp faces in a different direction and is fully contained with its own lounge and dining facility, using natural habitat to ensure maximum privacy at each camp. The camps operate independently while sharing a back of house.
• Each camp has an option to make one half a ‘Private Camp’. This is the smaller side with 2 tents and the family tent.
• CAMP 1: (SOUTH) moves between the southern migration, Maswa, and the northern migration, Lamai.
  Access: South - Mwiba/Makao Airstrips | North - Lamai Airstrip
• CAMP 2: (WEST) moves between the western corridor, Nyasirori, to the northern migration, Wogakuria.
  Access: West - Kirawira Airstrip | North - Kogatende Airstrip
• Camp mobilisations have been planned around one camp always being available, however, both camps are closed 1 April - 15 May and 16 - 30 November.
