This camp is located outside the Eastern boundary to the Serengeti National Park from December - March. This is a great second stop in the Serengeti eco-system to a 'migration focused' camp if you have the time. Get away from potential crowds, do walking safaris and night game drives. The highlight here is the raw beauty of the area and the Masai interactions. You travel off the beaten path to get here - and I mean for hours - but the payoff is a remote and spectacular.

Nduara Loliondo was designed to celebrate Nomadic cultures around the world. Nduara Loliondo moves its yurts according to animal migration and prime activity across the Loliondo area, bordering the Serengeti National Park. Being outside the park boundaries offers great freedom; simple things like walks and night drives, game drives on and off road, picnic lunches out in the bush and staying out for sundowners means an altogether more intense and real feeling of safari, and wilderness.
The lounge and dining tents are a Nduara Loliondo design of Yurt, reflecting the nomadic culture, and allowing the most out of the panoramic views. The sleeping tents are the more traditional Meru-style tents, with en-suite bathrooms, eco-flush toilets and bucket showers to ensure comfort. The camp is located in Piyaya between December and April, due to prime wild game in this area. Piyaya is characterized by vast empty plains and scenic kopjes that seem to have been transplanted from another landscape. The population of Maasai in this area is smaller than in the Nduara Loliondo sister camp near Ololosokwan, the villages more widely spread out. The wildlife really comes into its own in green season here, with the herds largely found in the southern grass plains and calving usually starting in February/March. As well as the herds that make up the migration, there are also many of the cats, as well elephants, buffalo, impala, giraffe and many other species.
