After a dusty game drive, the cool clear infinity pool overlooking the plains of the Serengeti offers the perfect spot to relax.

From mid July to November, this area is usually teeming with wildlife as the great migration makes its way back and forth between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara; allowing a few lucky clients to witness the famous crossings over the Mara River.

During the rest of the year there is still an abundance of wildlife – much like the Masai Mara only without the traffic. Due to the limited traffic in the area, off road game driving is possible in some of the best game driving areas around the camp.
