Chaka Camp
Where the Wild Moves—and You Move With It
In a land defined by rhythm, migration, and the ancient pulse of nature, Chaka Camp offers something rare: a safari that flows with the land itself. As a seasonal mobile camp that follows the Great Migration, Chaka Camp brings you closer—not just to the wildlife, but to the very heartbeat of the Serengeti.
Rooted in authenticity, wrapped in comfort, and carried by the spirit of movement, this is where you witness nature’s greatest performance from center stage.
Crafted by Nature. Carried by the Wind.
Chaka Camp is built with intention—designed to immerse, not intrude. Every detail is guided by the landscape, and every moment whispers the wild:
Spacious, canvas safari tents with en-suite bathrooms and hot bucket showers
Natural wood furnishings and Swahili-inspired décor
Private verandas overlooking acacia-studded plains or distant herds
A central lounge and dining tent for community, connection, and comfort
Eco-conscious, low-impact design that leaves the land untouched
From sunrise coffees to firelit evenings, Chaka Camp offers a sense of place—wild, simple, and beautifully human.
Where the Great Migration Comes to You
Chaka Camp moves twice per year to follow the flow of the Great Migration, placing you right where the action unfolds:
✔ Ndutu (Dec–March) for the calving season—where life begins in waves and predators prowl nearby
✔ Northern Serengeti (June–Nov) for dramatic river crossings and sweeping savanna scenes
✔ Off-road access in the Ndutu region for intimate, flexible encounters
✔ Daily game drives guided by passionate naturalists who read the land like a book
✔ Bush breakfasts, golden-hour sundowners, and full-day explorations in wild solitude
Wherever the herds roam, Chaka Camp is already there—ready to welcome you.
Meals Made with Heart and Shared with Soul
Dining at Chaka Camp is intimate, inspired, and full of flavor:
Three-course meals prepared daily with fresh, locally sourced ingredients
Alfresco breakfasts with a view, or picnic lunches deep in the bush
Dinners under the stars, followed by stories around the fire
Menus tailored to dietary preferences with warm, thoughtful service
Each meal is a pause, a celebration, a time to reflect on the magic around you.

Staff who remember your name and your favorite drink
Guides who share not just sightings, but stories, traditions, and respect for the land
A feeling of camaraderie and genuine care that wraps around you like a warm blanket

KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
