Beach & Safari Holidays adds two Serengeti lodges on Great Migration route

Beach & Safari Holidays has opened Africa Safari Serengeti Ndutu and Africa Safari Serengeti Kogatende, expanding its Tanzania portfolio to 11 lodges and camps. The new properties are positioned to give travelers access to key Great Migration moments, from calving season in the south to river crossings in the north.

Why it matters: - The two new lodges put Beach & Safari Holidays deeper into the Serengeti’s main wildlife circuits. - The openings strengthen the company’s pitch as a single-provider safari operator in Tanzania. - The locations are timed around the Great Migration, a major draw for international safari travel.

What happened: - Beach & Safari Holidays opened Africa Safari Serengeti Ndutu on 15 June 2026. - The company opened Africa Safari Serengeti Kogatende on 15 July 2026. - The openings lift the company’s safari portfolio to 11 lodges and camps in Tanzania. - Ndutu sits near Lake Ndutu in the southern Serengeti. - Kogatende sits south of the Mara River in the northern Serengeti National Park.

The details: - Africa Safari Serengeti Ndutu is 31 kilometres from the border between Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. - Ndutu overlooks Lake Ndutu, where pink flamingos are regularly seen along the shoreline. - Ndutu is positioned for the Great Migration calving season between December and March. - The southern Serengeti site is supported by wetlands, marshes and natural springs that keep water available year-round. - The Ndutu region is known for the year-round presence of six African cat species. - Africa Safari Serengeti Kogatende is about 26 kilometres from Kogatende Airstrip. - Kogatende is located in the Great Migration corridor and is positioned for river crossings between July and October. - Beach & Safari Holidays welcomed its first guests to Kogatende shortly after opening. - A first guest described the migration viewing, the welcome and the location as spectacular, beautiful and very warm.

Between the lines: - The two lodges target different phases of the Great Migration, which helps Beach & Safari Holidays cover more of the safari calendar. - The expansion also signals a push to control more of the travel chain, from planning and transfers to guides, lodging and activities. - Bert Schoonvelde, founder of Beach & Safari Holidays, said the company is investing in experiences as well as accommodation. - The company is also building toward a broader Tanzania tourism network beyond the Serengeti.

What's next: - Beach & Safari Holidays says more lodge and resort projects are planned and under construction on the Tanzanian mainland and in the Zanzibar archipelago. - The company plans to keep expanding its safari and beach portfolio. - Further growth appears aimed at reinforcing bundled safari-and-beach trips across Tanzania.

The bottom line: - Beach & Safari Holidays is using two new Serengeti properties to widen its reach along the Great Migration route and deepen its all-in-one Tanzania travel model.
