Serengeti Luxury fly-in safari (Mkombe's House)

While in the Serengeti, you will stay in the very exclusive Mkombe’s House.

Opened in July 2015, Mkombe’s House is a four-bedroom, self-contained house that is perfectly suited for families (there’s no minimum age for children) or a group of friends wanting to enjoy a totally exclusive safari, away from the crowded regions of the central Serengeti!

The house comes with a private 4x4 safari vehicle and a full staff, including a dedicated guide and an in-house chef, who will prepare sumptuous meals of your choice to be enjoyed indoors in the dining room or out on the terrace with a view of the surrounding wilderness.

Mkombe’s House can accommodate up to ten guests in comfort and privacy. The spacious rooms are designed to make the most of the views of the Serengeti plains and to allow in plenty of natural light. The house is located close to the Mara River, where millions of wildebeest make their famous river crossings every year between July and October, guaranteeing you a window onto this great spectacle.

Simply teeming with game, the Serengeti is one of the largest and greatest game reserves in Africa, unequalled in scale and diversity. It is amongst the oldest and most complex eco-systems on earth, and in its essential features has barely changed in the past hundred thousand years. A unique combination of diverse habitats, ranging from clay pans and wooded grasslands to the endless savannah plains for which the region is famous, enables it to support a wealth of game, including 60 large mammal and over 500 bird species.

The game-viewing is stunning all-year round in the Serengeti, whichever section of the park you happen to be in. The ‘Big 5’ are a constant fixture, but perhaps more significant, the Serengeti boasts the greatest concentration of plains game anywhere in the world, with an estimated two million wildebeest, half a million gazelle, and 250,000 zebra. Among the other species regularly seen are eland, impala, waterbuck, baboon, monkey, warthog and topi.

The Serengeti is of course most famous for the dramatic annual wildebeest migration and your accommodation is perfectly placed to witness this amazing spectacle between July and October.

We can arrange for you to continue your safari and/or visit Tanzania’s beautiful coastline or offshore islands of Zanzibar and Mafia. Please speak to one of our safari consultants to discuss your plans.
