EnquireWayo Kogatendi Green Camp is a simple authentic tented camp located in the Northern Serengeti near the Mara River and is ideally located for Mara river crossings when the migration is in the area between June - October. Wayo have built up an excellent reputation for authentic and adventurous safaris at a sensible price point and without luxury frills and their camps are excellent options for the more adventurous traveller.
The camp is open from July until the end of November when the migration of millions of wildebeest is in the Northern Serengeti and hopefully crossing the Mara River. Kogatende camp is located on the edge of the Northern Serengeti Wilderness zone, approximately 20 minutes from the Mara River. It is a fabulous location to spot herds of wildebeest crossing the river. Activities on offer include game drives and walking safaris.
The Camp comprises 10 square en-suite tents. Each tent can be set up as double, twin or triple for families with cosy beds, stylish interiors and outdoor seating to relax on. Tents are basic compared to many luxury offerings in the Serengeti, but offer simple luxuries such as comfy beds, crisp linens, and a classic bucket bush shower. The central mess tent has lounge chairs and a small library.
Meals are simply done with delicious home cooked 3 course suppers cooked on the open fires served to your table under the stars. Meals are usually taken in a sociable communal style.
It was FANTASTIC! Beautifully organised, everything worked like clockwork. We agreed that we had the best support team ever (and we have experience) - all delightful, very professional and nothing was too much bother.
It clearly couldn't have been a better route, such a wonderful mix of landscapes. And plenty of acclimatisation time. Nonetheless, I was glad of my summit oxygen.
Kit excellent. Double good mattresses made for most comfortable trek camping ever. Tents v good. Mess tent pretty windproof, which was vital for enjoyment. Best camp loo ever!
My favourite day was Shira Cathedral. Amazing.

Hi Lisa,
The safari trip was excellent! The stay, the food and the people were all very nice. We were happy to have Ryan and Stanley as our game drive guides they brought us up close to the animals and Ryan gave very good information throughout.
Would definitely recommend to friends who are interested in safaris :)
Also, thanks much for your help, particularly keeping the room for my Brother and his wife they’ve enjoyed the safari very much too!
Best regards,
Woan Chyi

We had a fantastic time and all the arrangements worked perfectly.
We were very impressed with the quality and service levels of all 4 locations visited and it was truly a holiday of a lifetime.
Thank you to you and to Lisa for giving us this experience.
Particular highlights for us – really the whole experience, but of particular impact:
Breathtaking scenery at Cathedral Peak Hotel
Rhino Ridge game drives incredible, thanks to guide (we had their head guide, Hala, who’s knowledge, enthusiasm, kindness, interaction, ability to spot wildlife was out of this world)
Luxury of Rhino Ridge (shower, food, views, service)
Immersion in nature, torch lit meal on last night and beach trip at Kosi Forest Lodge
Level of service, quality of food throughout
