Overview of Serengeti Under Canvas
This mobile tented camp follows vast herds as they migrate across the plains named Siringitu in Maasai, which means ‘the place where the land moves on forever’. Located in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, one of the earth’s last natural migration corridors and oldest ecosystems, the climate, vegetation and fauna have remained almost unchanged for a million years. The natural instinct that drives the annual migration of more than a million wildebeest and zebra is so powerful that neither drought nor crocodile-infested rivers can halt them.
Witness this spectacle on a luxurious safari in the care of your personal butler and specialist guides. Daily game drives bring you alongside the majesty and drama unfolding on the savannah. Guided nature walks offer a more intimate view of the wilderness while cultural tours to local Maasai villages are highly recommended. Witnessing the great migration across the Serengeti Plains is a once-in-a-lifetime experience; Serengeti Under Canvas provides you with front-row seats.

Family Tent
Serengeti Under Canvas provides a spacious and welcoming Family Tent for small groups that can accommodate up to four children.
Tent
The camp has eight canvas tents, each erected to ensure privacy and uninterrupted views. Your walk-in tent has a lofty ‘ceiling’ and elegant, functional furnishings. Designed to keep insects out but allow in refreshing breezes and the charming sounds of birdlife, the tents are truly comfortable.
A little verandah with canvas chairs provides you with a private observation post to enjoy passing wildlife. Your en suite bathroom features a hot water bucket shower, vanity dressing table and private WC. Lamps fill the tent with soft light at night, creating a restful, romantic ambience.
General Facilities
A mobile tented camp is essentially a comfortable, ‘relocate-able’ base from which to witness the Great Migration and explore the savannah. The thrilling sense of adventure is heightened around the evening fire, as you share anecdotes, serenaded by the sounds of the wild and awed by the sky-full of stars above you.
Expect simple, stylish accommodation in romantic canvas tents, plush couches in the sitting tent and cool cocktails served in the heat of the day. Your personal butler ensures that you have everything you need throughout your safari.
Serengeti Under Canvas makes a special effort to welcome children. On arrival, each child receives a bag containing a game logbook, crayons, pencils and a pawprint tattoo. There is a personalised welcome note for every child, and those under three get an African-themed soft toy as well. When available, booking an exclusive use safari vehicle means that game drives can be tailored for the shorter attention span of little ones, leaving and coming back to the lodge at any time. Childminders can be arranged during game drives and at mealtimes.

Dining
Your butler wakes you with tea, coffee and homemade biscuits and sees you off on the early morning game drive. You return to a hearty breakfast feast of hot and cold dishes. Perhaps a hot bucket shower or a nap will carry you through to the casual light lunch served in the sitting tent.
The afternoon is spent relaxing in camp, watching the passing wildlife or leisurely reading over a glass of chilled wine, nibbling on snacks. A guided walk helps you build an appetite for the delicious afternoon tea before your evening game drive. Return to cool cocktails around the campfire and a sumptuous dinner of Pan-African cuisine served in the dining tent on a table dressed with crystal, silverware and crisp linen.
Romantic alfresco dinners for two can be arranged on request.

To wake up with 100s of wildebeest around camp was a complete highlight! It's also so true to the nature of safari - perfect for the migration with some of the best guides around. A firm favourite!
