Best time to visitMid year, around June to July when the area is overrun with herds of wildebeest and Zebra and the plains have just started to dry out after the rainy season of March to June.
Location of Fort ikoma campsiteFort Ikoma campsite is located about a hundred metres west of the Fort Ikoma gate, and on the north western border of Serengeti national park. It also is along the return route for the wildebeest migration as they head north to the Mara river.
For more information on this place, please see the map below.
How to get there?By air or by vehicle, with the first having the added advantage of a brief air safari, before landing at one of the
airstrips in Serengeti.
Alternatively, the more scenic land based route would give you an opportunity to tour much more of the Serengeti or
Grumeti game reserve up close, with so many places to see that it could take as long as a week.
There is no discrimination as to the vehicle type, but 4x4s do perform better. For More information on park fees and tariffs, please see the
TANAPA website.
